If you feel like it, you can ride the railway cycle path quite well with a gravel bike. For me personally, it's a bit boring. The view over the fields and meadows, on the other hand, is very beautiful, almost no matter where you are on the cycle path…

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.

Born from a private initiative, the Gutscafé opened its doors on May 1, 2017 on the premises of a branch of the Alsterdorf Protestant Foundation, Gut Stegen, every Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays and public holidays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. In the middle of the countryside between Kayhude and Bargfeld Stegen, it is the ideal meeting point or rest area for cyclists and hikers. Look forward to delicious coffee specialties, home-baked tarts and cakes, soft drinks and savory delicacies from the region, for the region. http://gutscape-stegen.de/

This beautiful bench is perfect for taking a short or long break in the shade while enjoying the beautiful view. There is also a hiking car park right next door.

Always nice to discover the Alster-Trave canal and the Origin of the Old Alster. And all of that on the edge Nienwohl der Moors

That's right, without the stone you wouldn't even notice the "source".
