Beautiful landscape, beautiful stream and beautiful bridge. I am adding two pictures of a fallen tree that blocks the path. As I looked around, two other cyclists arrived. The man of the two energetically grabbed his bike and lifted it over the branches. Then he helped his partner and then me. It is a great highlight to meet such helpful cyclists.

Will a train ever run here regularly again? Possibly a S-Bahn connection to Uetersen?

The Esinger Wohld is a great forest. I really enjoy riding through it. The Esinger Wohld is located on my Lise-Meitner-Tour, which I rode yesterday on 05/03/26.
