Brooke, Hansdorf and Duvenstedt are great for a little bike ride in nature. A gravel bike or mountain bike (hardtail) is optimal as a vehicle.

The cobblestones hurt... But: The path under the bridge is one of the few ways to go under the road.

The dirt path leads from Schimmelreiterhof towards Stapelfelder Moor. It is located directly on the border of Hamburg and Stormarn.

From here you can get from Stemwarde to Stellau quite quickly.

Actually not a real gravel highlight, as the path is too smooth and boring. Nevertheless, it is better to ride here than on the road and you can make quick progress to get back to gravel paths or single trails. There is a lot to see on the right and left and you pass through some villages. The old train stations, which are now residential buildings, for example in Hoisdorf, are also wonderful.

The path has been redone. Before it was a challenging trail, now the path is very civilized and domesticated.

Normally, you would rather ride a "normal" bike or even a road bike here. A small change, however, if you want to ride comfortably with a gravel bike.

The view of the viaduct is very beautiful.
