On the former railway line, you can cycle relaxed through many villages with some beautiful views.

Can be ridden well with a road bike. When you ride into Rümpel, you see cobblestones coming (comment from above), but that's not what this section is about. Everything is fine if you follow the road to the neighboring village.

Nice route! By the way, EBO means: Elmshorn–Bad Oldesloe - also known as EBOE - or Henstedt-Ulzburg railway line – Bad Oldesloe.

Now and then you pass old railway operating buildings and facilities, such as loading and unloading ramps or the old Grabau station.

From Henstedt-Ulzburg to Bad Oldesloe (almost) without road use The old EBO route runs between fields, forests and moors without major inclines. A large part of the railway cycle path is lined with fruit trees on the left and right. This cycle and hiking path is Europe's longest fruit and tree nature trail.

The Nienwohlder Moor is a lesser-known moor in the north of Hamburg. The Bahnradweg (railway cycle path) passes by it, as well as some great gravel and single trails. I like to ride here because there is not much going on and the landscape is great. If it's a windy day, you'll get the full force of the wind due to the flat surface.

The route is beautiful to cycle on. However, there are limitations: it's extremely difficult in strong winds and in blazing sun... Otherwise, it leads beautifully along the moor.
