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...

Unfortunately, the great dirt road is really difficult to ride on! Be careful with the potholes. They were slightly smoothed out recently, but I think we will soon have to swerve again to avoid falling over the handlebars.

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.

It's always worth cycling around the Bredenbeker Teich. This is where Maya the Bee was invented and you can swim in hidden spots. Unfortunately, the pond has become so well-known via Komoot that you are rarely alone anymore... It's also crazy that the path is now three times as wide as it used to be...

Small secret path along the Bredenbeker Teich - it is best to drive slowly here - the path is a bit difficult to drive because of roots and stones!
