The bridge crosses the Bille and offers good opportunities for nature observation.

Great fun for dogs and humans!

Great fun for dogs and humans...lots of benches, plenty of water, and plenty of space!

To the left and right of the path it is partly better, for me still a nice trail ... at least for the MTB 😉

The Bergedorfer Gehölz is a beautiful nature reserve in the east of Hamburg. It covers an area of several hectares and is home to a variety of plant and animal species. "Gehölz" refers to a collection of trees and shrubs that create an ecological balance and provide habitat for many living creatures. The Bergedorfer Gehölz has a rich history. It was first designated as a protected area in 1908 and has undergone numerous changes since then. Originally, the Bergedorfer Gehölz was part of a larger forest area that spanned the entire region. Over the centuries, however, the forest was severely decimated, and only the Bergedorfer Gehölz remains as a remnant. In the past, the grove was used by the local population primarily as a source of timber. The trees were felled, and the wood was used to build houses and as fuel. However, in the 1970s, the Bergedorfer Gehölz was recognized as a protected area and declared a nature reserve. This was an important decision, as the grove is home to numerous rare plant and animal species. Today, the Bergedorfer Gehölz is a popular destination for walks and nature observation. It has been opened to hikers and cyclists and offers a variety of trails and viewpoints. The history of the Bergedorfer Gehölz is a story of change and the protection of nature. It is a valuable heritage that must be preserved and reminds us of the importance of nature conservation. https://ja-hamburg.de/bergedorfer-geholz-ein-naturschutzgebiet-im-norden/
