A very well developed dike defense route directly at the black Elster. The trail as such is not awarded as a cycle path. The official Elster cycle path leads over roads. The dyke path can be driven very well despite the compound pavement. The use is forbidden for any vehicles, however, for bicycles without engine power allowed (see photos).
The only drawback: When planning the "Blue Wonder" (railway bridge at Premsendorf) you forgot to think of the cyclists. Either you go illegally on the tracks, which should not be purposeful, or you go down the steep dike embankment and under the blue wonder through to the other side of the railway line. It works (as long as there is no flood).
