Recommendation only conditionally. The path is paved from Bredenfelde onwards, with about a third being asphalt. However, both surfaces are in rather deplorable condition. Many uneven areas, potholes, etc. Barely suitable for leisurely driving.

We went hiking there in the winter on icy paths. You don't see many animals then because you're just too loud. But in spring and summer there's a lot to see, especially in the first section of the forest. There are really loads of birds then. Deer, hares and, from what I've heard, even a stag are not uncommon there.

In August 2024, it was impossible to get past the Watermill. The friendly resident saw that the path is no longer maintained.

It's not worth it! The railway cycle path is 3 km before Quadenschönfeld completely overgrown with scrub and high grass as well as fallen trees, the railway path has been neglected by the community for years, extremely. A pity

The Bredenfelde water mill was first mentioned in 1624 and was a windmill at the time. Later it was used as a water mill. The mill consists mainly of field stone masonry and half-timbering. Up until the mid-1950s, grist was still ground here. The mill is still inhabited. There is nothing left of the mill wheel, only the reel on which it was attached. The gable end, where the mill wheel was located, was filled with glass.
