ルルシュトルフのおすすめライド

Well-designed underpass

Beautiful view is worth it

In my opinion, in moderate traffic, the road is clearly the better alternative.

You can also get some food here on Saturday afternoons. It was the only bakery I could find on my drive between Bad Bevensen and Scharnebeck.

Beautifully situated and good photo opportunity

Fischhausen is a small, idyllic district of Echem. It enjoys a quiet location between the Elbe Lateral Canal and the Neetze River, which is channeled beneath the Elbe Lateral Canal through a culvert (underground pipe). There are only a few houses in this district...you can leave the district as quickly as you enter. The view from the bridge is an invitation to linger.

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

Great view from the bridge!
