Beautiful trail with an iconic name. Possible with a road bike, but better with a gravel bike or mountain bike.

Parallel to the developed supply road, a hidden forest singletrack trail runs along the shore of Lake Flemhude. The rooty and winding trail is easily accessible even in summer. It has several dog bathing areas and ends at the bathing area where the lake meets the Kiel Canal. An absolutely worthwhile section.

Not recommended in the evening hours due to the many insects. Otherwise, a beautiful view directly along the canal.
