Tips from the Community
Under no circumstances should you ignore the signs indicating that the concrete path will end. If you come across the sheep, you can either turn around to get to the Koogweg, or climb up the dike and take the singletrack to the intersection with 'Zum Westhof', where you can plunge down the dike. Like the rest of the route, this is more suitable for bikes with well-profiled, wide tires, or even a mountain bike with suspension.

The Scottish Highlanders are a peaceful breed of cattle. Everything is very slow and they don't fixate on them with their eyes. Then they get very curious. I also really liked the view of the birch forest. It may be that I'm spoiled at the moment. So I have to "earn" a hike's stars. The water areas are visited by anglers, and they drive right up to them in their cars. There are also too many tractors driving too fast on the supply routes.
