In the Lappwald forest, between the second and first Walbecker Warte forests, a tree had fallen onto the path. There was no way through.

Today the weather was amazing. I went with a friend around Helmstedt on the NaTour circuit. It's remarkable what is declared as an official cycle path. There's no question that all the paths were open to cycling, but everything from cobblestones to single trails and meadow paths was there.

Unfortunately, the Lübbensteine do not get the attention they deserve.
