The best family-friendly hikes and walks around Barsbüttel

Good to ride path for the gravel bike. It leads through fields and meadows.

The dirt path leads from Schimmelreiterhof towards Stapelfelder Moor. It is located directly on the border of Hamburg and Stormarn.

Absolute dream path for the gravel bike. The surface offers a lot for riding fast and the surroundings are beautiful. Wide fields and nature.

The Stapelfelder Moor can be ridden wonderfully. In the meantime, a few parts have been closed to give nature peace, but the area around Stellau, on the edge of Stormarn, is very varied and beautiful anyway!

I once explained why such an expensive viewpoint was built there – because it's anything but pointless. The depression you can see there is about 15,000 years old and was formed by the melting of the pack ice underground. And to prevent some lunatics – of which there are more than enough in the population – each one more lunatic, more deranged, and more mentally ill than the next, from bathing in it, polluting and filthy everything, urinating in it every time, and throwing parties – to prevent it from ending up looking like a typical illegal dump – the whole thing was fenced off – which is still much too low – precisely to prevent this outstanding historical landmark from becoming an illegal garbage dump and a public urinal thanks to these psychos. This elevated platform was built so that people can still view this depression that was formed around 15,000 years ago. Ah yes, they could have easily installed a bench on the platform – then people could sit and linger there for a longer break in the height of summer – but there isn't a bench anywhere, not even next to it. But presumably, after installing just such a simple bench, the trash and filth around it would quickly accumulate, thanks to those aforementioned lunatics who would leave their garbage there in massive quantities. As we all know, illegal dumps always have a life of their own – they just get bigger every day.

Very beautiful route. Hardly any traffic in the morning, but a few riders around midday/afternoon.
