Over the years, the path has approximately tripled in width. It used to be a mere footpath, now it's almost a dirt road. At the beginning, there's even a wide entrance now...

The Bredenbeker Teich is a piece of Hamburg or Stormarn history. People used to vacation in the Walddörfer, and the bathing establishment here was very popular. Until before Corona, there was a great natural outdoor pool at the campsite here. Now people just like to go into the water. The old bathing establishment can still be recognized by an information board and the manor house.

The trail and the Bredenbeker Teich are always worth a bike tour. They are on my favorite route anyway... Biene Maja (Maya the Bee) was invented here and there used to be a special bathing establishment here that people enjoyed.

It's interesting to imagine how people used to get here to bathe. It must have been really busy here back then. Besides, Maya the Bee was invented here. Unfortunately, the campsite had to close its natural swimming pool...

The Lindenhof Estate (often also referred to as Lindenhof Manor) is located on the northwest shore of the Bredenbek Pond and looks back on a varied history, from aristocratic ownership and social use to its current status as a private residence. Here are the key facts for the year 2026: 1. History and Architecture Historical Origin: The current manor house is a listed building. Historically, it was part of the surrounding area of the large estates in the Stormarn region. Architecture: The building is characterized by its classical architecture and significantly shapes the landscape around the Bredenbek Pond. 2. Past and Present Use Nursing Home Era: For many decades, the Lindenhof Estate was widely known as a district nursing home. However, this lease agreement between the Stormarn district and the operators at the time was terminated. Change: After the nursing home closed, the property was sold, and the residents moved to more modern facilities in Ahrensburg or neighboring communities. Current status (2026): The manor house is privately owned and used for residential purposes. It is part of a complex that also includes an adjacent equestrian facility, which has been modernized (e.g., with floodlit riding arenas).
