Not a visual highlight, but it's a good place to cross to the other side of the street.

An impressive railway bridge with several arches is located on Triedelweg. The Ilmenau River flows past it.

Partly difficult to navigate, as thorn bushes hang on the trail in some places

careful with moisture ... otherwise it will buck completely

beautiful trail

worthwhile section - quite "explored" on weekends (especially in good weather)

Nice underpass for cyclists. Definitely slippery when wet.

The Ilmenau River flows very quickly, which is why it doesn't freeze over in winters when even the Elbe River freezes. In southern Lüneburg, in the Tiergarten area, a large glacial erratic boulder with the inscription "Loreley" can be found on the right bank, overlooking the floodplains. It is said that Heinrich Heine wrote his poem "Loreley" here in 1823, with a view of the Ilmenau. A few meters further on, the Ilmenau originally split into two branches and encircled an island. This was probably the main reason why the first settlers chose this particular spot to establish the village of Modestorpe. Here, people could cross the river more easily. Over the centuries, the eastern branch was rerouted, dammed, and named the Lösegraben (relief ditch). It rejoins the Ilmenau near the Hude, just before the Bardowick Gate. The Lösegraben is a diversion channel for the Ilmenau River when it is running high. Every year in October, the Ilmenau is drained for about a week. During this time, all the incoming water is diverted through the Lösegraben. The riverbed itself is then dry between the fork and the reunification point. The connections are inspected, and the riverbed is cleaned up, usually revealing a great deal of trash. At the same time, the owners of the Abtsmühle, Ratsmühle, and Lüner Mühle mills repair their hydroelectric power plants. Source: https://www.lustauflueneburg.de/ilmenau-l%C3%B6segraben/#gsc.tab=0
