You have 49 kilometers ahead of you. Next to the west entrance of the Mölln St. Nicolai Church is a special memorial stone: it commemorates the jester Till Eulenspiegel, who is said to have died in Mölln and to be buried in the churchyard. The next destination is the old fieldstone church in Sterley from the 13th century. With its low, simple wooden tower, it hides among tall deciduous trees.

Author’s recommendation

Roadbook

Mölln is the start and finish point of the 49-kilometer circular route. Old paintings are waiting to be discovered. After another stage, you reach the town of Seedorf on the Schaalsee. The St. Clemens – St. Katharinen Church, known for its frescoes, is an authentic example of a North German country church. In Gudow lies one of the oldest churches in the duchy: the 12th-century Marienkirche. Inside the fieldstone church are some remarkable works of art. After a ride through the beautiful Hellbach valley, you return to your starting point.
