I managed to take out the bike for two more slightly longer rides.
Through the forest and over to the next village there is an old US army base. It is now used as a training facility for the German military. On some weekends you can even enter the grounds and walk through fake rows of houses and a "tank cemetery". Unfortunately, it was all closed while I was there so I took the scenic route around it all. There is another interesting remainder of the US army activity in this forest and that is an Autobahn like road in the middle of the forest, closed to any real traffic. It connects the military base to an abandoned platform from where tanks could be transported with a train to the next military base miles away. Most of the rails have been removed but the trackbed is still there. And you can ride on or alongside it for about 10km through forests and fields.
