Very good cycle path, which is also conditionally suitable for road cyclists. :-)

The water buffalo serve as landscapers here. They are only found in summer and only when it is not too wet on their pastures. So, don't be surprised if you can't find them...

The old Schildow train station is located in the center of the village of Schildow. As part of the planned reactivation of the Heidekrautbahn (Heather Railway) line, it will be regularly serviced along its original route as part of the i2030 project (https://www.i2030.de/). Two platform edges with a usable length of 140 meters and barrier-free access are planned. As in its original state, the station will have two tracks, which is a prerequisite for the passing of two trains traveling in opposite directions. The interlocking technology will also need to be upgraded to accommodate train crossings. A total of three additional electronic interlocking stations (ESTW) are planned along the line, one of which will be located in the new Schildow train station. A drone captured the current status of the line, i.e., prior to reactivation, in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eioQMvx2Grg.
