A touch of nostalgia – now only occasional freight trains to the paper mill in Lachendorf are encountered.

The "mountains" are sand moraines from the Ice Age; they are even more clearly visible on the path north of the Lachte river.

Deecke Heidelbeerhof – Highlight? Actually just a point on the map, but liked by a super-liker. With over 37,000 likes from a 326-time expert, it must be something really special.

No official parking lot, but a good starting point for a walk through the Schweinebruch area.

Freight trains rarely run on the line anymore. Attempts to re-establish passenger service have failed due to a lack of profitability.

Good parking facilities are available at the bridge on Ahnsbecker Weg over the Osterbruch Canal.
