The best running trails around Legde/Quitzöbel

I thought that section of the trail was absolutely beautiful. It could have been much, much longer. A true dream. Don't get me wrong! There aren't any standout highlights. The consistently good asphalt path and the beautiful, fragrant, peaceful forest are the highlights.

Bad Wilsnack is a worthwhile destination for a cycling tour, as it offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and relaxation. The town is particularly known for the imposing Church of the Holy Blood (St. Nikolai), a former pilgrimage site that dominates the townscape. The historic town center, with its restored half-timbered houses, provides a vivid impression of the local history. Extensive parks, easily incorporated into a cycling tour, and the Kristall spa and graduation tower offer further opportunities for relaxation. Thanks to its connection to regional cycling routes in the Prignitz region, Bad Wilsnack is ideal both as a stopover and as a starting point for further tours in the surrounding area.

Great cycle path through the forest. Always nice to ride in summer and winter. Protected from the wind and shady for hot summer days. A great rest area with bicycle parking and covered seating for around 10 people. Lots of forest paths to go for a few more hikes.

Hey, definitely go to the farm shop (or ask the town information desk to serve you there) and treat yourself to a soft ice cream. 🍦

The Wilsnacker pilgrim sign consists of three round plates backed by a triangle, the corners of which also serve as fastening eyelets. There are also two crosses on the top two circles. The depictions on the individual tiles show Christ on the cross, Christ rising from the coffin with a victory flag and Christ on the torture stake. A total of 47 Wilsnack pilgrim signs were found, and the pilgrim sign can also be found on over 60 bells, which were intended to avert harm from the church and community and to give grace. Since 1396, the pilgrim signs have been cast from lead and sold to pilgrims in Wilsnack, available directly in the church.

Great bike path through the forest.

Bad Wilsnack (until 1929 Wilsnack) is a spa town and a historical place of pilgrimage. In 1384, Wilsnack, whose early history was determined by its location in the Wendish-Saxon border area, was mentioned for the first time

A very beautiful, tranquil little town with many sights and opportunities for cycling tours in the surrounding area. Highly recommended, it's a worthwhile destination for a tour or a short detour from the main route. Bad Wilsnack is located on the southwestern edge of the Prignitz region, just north of the Havel River's confluence with the Elbe. Wilsnack, whose early history was shaped by its location in the Wendish-Saxon border region, was first documented in 1384. The occasion was the destruction of the church when the knight Heinrich von Bülow had the town and church burned down on August 15, 1383. Three hosts with red stains, believed to be blood, were reportedly found on the altar in the ruins – the so-called Blood Miracle Hosts. On February 20, 1384, Pope Urban VI granted Wilsnack an indulgence for the reconstruction of the pilgrimage church. Wilsnack thus became a pilgrimage site for the region and for believers from many countries, from the British Isles as well as the Baltic states, Hungary, and Scandinavia. Wilsnack was considered the Santiago of Northern Europe and therefore one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Europe. The town is known for its thermal springs and the Kristall Kur- und Gradiertherme (Crystal Spa and Graduation Tower), which attracts visitors seeking relaxation. Historically, Bad Wilsnack was an important pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages, as miraculous "blood hosts" were allegedly kept in the Church of St. Nicholas. In 1384, Wilsnack, whose early history was shaped by its location in the Wendish-Saxon border region, was first documented. The occasion was the destruction of the church when the knight Heinrich von Bülow had the town and church burned down on August 15, 1383. Three hosts with red stains, believed to be blood, were said to have been found on the altar in the ruins—the so-called Blood Hosts. ] ...
