Not a great trail, not suitable for regular bikes, but good for mountain and trekking bikes. The Torfstadion looks like it's being demolished.

Large parking lot at the cemetery, which is not a given for the north paths. Be sure to take the barrow a few meters back. Walter Kempowski's grave is at the other end of the cemetery.
