When going around the Lebrader Teich (or through the middle of it), this is my choice. The Mühlenstraße in the south of the pond is too dangerous with 100 km/h and not entirely clear and without a footpath. It's a bit more pleasant here, as the avenue is narrow and the asphalt is bad - drivers of motorized vehicles definitely rein themselves in much more!! 👍
