Mönchsweg Tour

The starting point is the Tourist Information Neustadt Stadthafen. The first section takes you along the historic Mönchsweg past the inland water and the nature reserve immediately adjacent to the town. For the sake of the local wildlife, the route then moves slightly away from the water towards Altenkrempe along a cycle path. Soon the three-aisled basilica in the Brick Gothic style comes into view, which lends its excellent acoustics to both sacred and secular music concerts. To the right in front of the basilica, follow the path. Meadows on both sides, a bridge over the A1, and you arrive in Logeberg. Follow the Kirchweg to the end, then you meet the district road (Neustädter Straße). Carefully cross the district road, cycle left, and then immediately turn right towards "Schashagen." Here a quiet road takes you through nature and finally into a dreamy small forest. At the T-junction, turn right, passing a few houses under trees. Upon reaching Schashagen, simply turn right twice. At the red half-timbered house with blue gates and "1926" in the gable, you leave the town. Continue on to Beusloe, which is no longer on the Mönchsweg and is dedicated to golf. At the T-junction, go straight and shortly after turn left onto a narrow path that ends in a small industrial area. In the industrial area, turn right until you reach the district road, where you turn left. After the underpass, continue straight ahead to Brodau. There, you can make a stop at the Brodau estate. Now you leave the historic Mönchsweg and head back to Neustadt in Holstein. After passing the Brodau estate, keep right once so you now approach the Baltic Sea and Rettin again. At the main intersection, turn left once more and you reach the promenade. The pier lies directly in front of you. Then follow the dunes only. 200 meters behind the surf school, turn right into a small street that leads you through Pelzerhaken. At the fork behind the supermarket, keep left, then after a few meters a cycle path begins. At the height of the DANA senior residence, a path immediately turns left at the underpass towards the Baltic Sea, offering an unobstructed panoramic view. Now you head to the Cap Arcona memorial cemetery, where you must dismount your bike. The last stage also runs along the water; the Ostseelounge and beach bath come into view, and you pass the BUND environmental house. Then take the cycle path that runs above the promenade to the harbor, back to the Tourist Information Neustadt Stadthafen.
