Great stretch for MTBs and gravel bikes. If you're already in the Himmelmoor anyway, definitely drive around here.

I passed through there on September 8, 1925, on my "Bevern and Hemdingen" tour.

Forest Trail with Wooden Plank Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The name promises more than what it says. The trail is not bad for practicing a bit of driving technique. You shouldn't expect a "real MTB trail" now.

May 11, 2025,Kaltenkirchener Heide, Himmelmoor & viel Abwechslung 🌞🚴👍

A varied route with lots of gravel paths, narrow, technically difficult trails, small forest trails, paved paths, good asphalt, and less good ones with breakaways. 🙄
But mostly on lots of quieter routes. That's what counted today after yesterday's hustle and bustle in Hamburg...ONLY HSV! 👍😊

Nice tour with @TGC Hamburg. This time in the northwest with the typical variety of this region: forest path, gravel, tractor tracks, forest path, but also asphalt. Thanks to @der * andre for scouting! Hopefully next time with working gears and not 70 km "chain on the right".
