Roadbook
The route starts at the St. Mary’s City Church in Plau am See, an impressive brick building from the 13th century.
From here, you head towards Lübz, but turn off immediately after the Elde to reach the Clay Museum Gnevsdorf via Reppentin.
You then cycle on a quiet road to Karbow, where there is a fieldstone church with timber-framed elements and an altar from the 15th century.
The next destination is Lübz, located on the Müritz-Elde Waterway and especially known for the Mecklenburg Brewery Lübz. The brewery’s logo, the late Romanesque administrative tower from 1308, is located in the historic town center and is a noteworthy example of brick architecture.
On Bobziner Weg, you continue towards the Bobzin Waterworks, built in 1925. A new turbine still supplies electricity today. Opposite is the Waterworks Museum and the largest lock on the Müritz-Elde Waterway.
Via Broock, with a village church made of brick and rich ornamental painting on the wooden ceiling, you reach the technical monument Ziegelei Benzin.
An avenue lined with chestnut trees leads over Kritzow, a village with a bathing spot, continuing towards Schlemmin.
After passing through a beautiful forested area, you reach the road to Plau. Once in the town, a visit to the Plau castle tower and the castle museum is a nice finale.
