Tips from the Community
Simply a great trail to push the gravel bike to its limit. Not much is going on here and you can ride as fast as the terrain allows.

The NABU House in Duvenstedter Brook is also a highlight. There's an interesting exhibition and plenty of additional information about the Brook. When the weather's nice, you can take a short rest outside on the benches. The NABU House welcomes any small financial donation.

The Duvenstedter Brook is a great area for hikers, cyclists, and sometimes horseback riders—unfortunately, it's been closed to us as dog owners for about 30 years. It's hard to understand why "discrimination" is so prevalent...
