Pleasure cycling in the forest Klövensteen

Towards the end of the 18th century, the area was afforested. Today, the extensive forest area is crossed by riding and hiking trails. This excursion is also worthwhile with children at any time of the year, because there is a forest playground, a pony farm and a game preserve, among other things. So besides the beautiful nature, there are more than enough reasons to take a bike tour to the Klövensteen.

It starts right in front of Hamburg's main train station, so getting there by public transportation is especially easy. The Sternschanze, Diebsteich, Wedel and Altona train stations are also directly on the route. Passing the Binnenalster lake, you roll purposefully in a westerly direction and soon cross the Altonaer Volkspark. Via quiet paths and side streets you reach Schenefeld. From here on, you leave the city behind and move through the greenery for miles. At Waldenau you finally enter the beautiful Klövensteen.

The forest area is crossed from north to south and on the way to the Elbe also the Schnaakenmoor is taken. Here there is a mixture of forest, heath and moorland to admire. On the way back, we ride for miles along the Elbe beach. In addition to fantastic views of the water, there are also places to stop for a leisurely break. By the way: In the Klövensteen forest, a tree will be planted by the City of Hamburg in cooperation with Klimapatenschaft GmbH for every ten cyclists who ride across the Krugkoppel Bridge from December 1 to 8.
