Geographically, Braak is located about 20 kilometres northeast of Hamburg and is thus a popular destination for tourists from the Hanseatic city. The area is characterised by rolling hills, meadows and forests as well as numerous lakes and rivers such as the Alster or the Mühlenteich.

For those interested in culture, there are many sights to discover in Braak. The Braak manor house with its impressive architecture and its park, which invites you to take a stroll, are particularly recommendable. The local history museum also offers an interesting insight into the history of the region.

Those who prefer to be active can also get their money's worth here: Whether hiking or cycling along the numerous routes through the countryside or water sports activities such as canoeing on the Alster - everyone will find something to their taste here.

Culinary Braak also has a lot to offer: From regional specialities to international cuisine, you will find everything your heart desires here. The restaurants on the lakeside of the Mühlenteich are particularly recommended, offering not only culinary delights but also fantastic views.

Even when the weather is bad, no one has to miss out on experiences: The Braak cultural centre regularly offers events such as concerts or theatre performances.

In summary, Braak is a destination that is definitely worth a visit. With its impressive nature and rich cultural history, as well as numerous leisure activities for every taste, it will certainly not be boring. A travel guide should definitely recommend this charming little town!

    Die schwimmende Brücke ist immer ein schönes Ausflugsziel. Besonders die Kinder finden die gluckernde und schwankende Schwimmbrücke toll. Hier sind zwei Panoramen, die ich 2019 mit einer Kugelkamera aufgenommen habe: https://www.pano.szenerien.de/Panono/Schwimmbr%C3%BCcke%20Ahrensburger%20Tunneltal/index.html

    Sehr schöne Tour, besonders die erste Hälfte über eine alte Bahntrasse. Nicht zu empfehlen ist die Strecke zwischen Hoisdorf und Großhansdorf durch den Wald. Hier kann man teilweise nur schieben wegen tiefer Längsrillen. Der Hammer ist die Brücke über die A1. Da war es sehr anstrengend das E-Bike hochzutragen. Ich würde empfehlen, über Am schwarzen Berg und Hoisdorfer Landstraße zu fahren. Auf der gesamten Strecke sehr viele schattige Bänke zum Rasten.

    Die Burg haben wir leider nicht entdeckt, ansonsten eine schöne Strecke, die in Ahrensburg Ost an der U-Bahn Station (U1) endet. Als Mindestanforderung empfehlen wir jedoch ein Trekkingrad. Mit z.B. einem Hollandrad wird man häufiger mal schieben müssen.
