Path directly along the railway line Himmelpforten - Burweg. The section from Burweg to the bridge over the "Horsterbeck" is paved. The bridge itself has a traction help to push bicycles over it. The section from Himmelpforten to the bridge is a grassy path that can also be used on normal bicycles.

Coming from Himmelpforten, you have to keep to the left of the road (see pictures), because the way to the train for about 500 meters is a private road! This was not apparent at the time! Now signs point to the private way (see pictures). Afterwards, you can directly get back to the railway tracks and continue along the path as indicated on the railway to Burweg.

There is now a new bridge, which makes it possible to drive on at ground level. The path from Himmelpforten station to the bridge is now also laid out with gravel instead of meadows and bushes. A clear plus in comfort and also easily feasible with the racing bike.
