Along the route, a total of six railway bridges and 18 culverts (e.g., for streams) will be renovated and widened to accommodate a second track. One example of such a culvert is the Stöbitzer Landgraben. It runs beneath the railway line and then flows into the Unterteich pond. In addition, three moorland areas along the route will be remediated. The subsoil of the tracks will be stabilized. The idyllic view of the Unterteich pond invites visitors to linger and take a short break. More information about the project can be found at: https://www.i2030.de/suedost/.

A glass church is a special place. A short visit is definitely worth it.

There felt like 1000 ducks on the big pond. When they rise from the water, one easily thinks of “The Birds” by Hitchcock.
