The "mountains" are sand moraines from the Ice Age; they are even more clearly visible on the path north of the Lachte river.

In a few places, you can also see the valley meadows along the Lachte river.

Unfortunately, it's also a road bridge with a lot of traffic.

The legendary "Blue Bridge" is one of the few ways to cross the Lachte River between Lachendorf and Lachtehausen. However, the "romantic" atmosphere is significantly diminished by traffic noise.

A beautiful connection between Lachendorf and Lachtehausen, significantly quieter and more varied than the path south of the Lachte river.

Good parking facilities are available at the bridge on Ahnsbecker Weg over the Osterbruch Canal.
