Nice route! By the way, EBO means: Elmshorn–Bad Oldesloe - also known as EBOE - or Henstedt-Ulzburg railway line – Bad Oldesloe.

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

From Henstedt-Ulzburg to Bad Oldesloe (almost) without road use The old EBO route runs between fields, forests and moors without major inclines. A large part of the railway cycle path is lined with fruit trees on the left and right. This cycle and hiking path is Europe's longest fruit and tree nature trail.

Worth a small look. In the vicinity, there is a disused train that apparently graffiti artists are allowed to use. ;)

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.

Overall, it's quite boring to ride because it's so long. But it's okay as a short change of pace between trails or forest paths.
