Park is a big word, as this has largely reverted to nature, but you can see the landscape gardening still.

Unfortunately, you are not allowed to go up there. I believe the entire lake is private property.

One of the many rest stops on the railway cycle path. They look very similar, each with a bar frame on which the bike can be parked. The nicer ones have a roof covered with vegetation, which I find great.

Now and then you pass old railway operating buildings and facilities, such as loading and unloading ramps or the old Grabau station.

Easy to ride. Almost a bit too easy for the gravel bike, but you make good progress and get out of the city towards Oberalsterniederung or Sülfeld, Niewohld or even Grabau. Have fun!

It's a shame that the pavilion is fenced off. I remember very well the first time I passed by here and was very impressed to find this idyllic body of water.

Overall, it's a bit monotonous and boring to ride. However, it's perfectly fine as a change of pace between trails or gravel roads.

I'm not really a fan of highlighting "benches along the way" - but this is more of a weather shelter; and that can definitely be a highlight in the right weather conditions.
