St. Vitus Church, Barskamp

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Vitus Church Barskamp

The oldest part of this church is the tower, which was probably built as a defensive tower around 950. The tower is believed to have been built towards the end of the 14th century, although it is quite possible that another church stood here before that, perhaps built from wood or fieldstone. The current appearance of the nave dates back to a reconstruction during the years 1764-1770. During this time the church and the defensive tower were united.

The altar and the Last Supper picture on it were created by the Lüneburg painter Heinrich Melchior Westphal. The altar and picture date from 1770. The medieval baptismal font is supported by the baptismal stand made of reddish elm wood, created by the sculptor Otto Flath. The Meyer organ from 1856 and the bell from 1325 are worth listening to.

View of Lauenburg Old Town

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, enjoy a magnificent view across the Elbe to the idyllic old town of Lauenburg.
Colorful half-timbered houses, historic steamships, and wonderful panoramic views
over the Elbe await you in the shipping town of Lauenburg/Elbe.
Schleswig-Holstein's southernmost town lies in the border triangle of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein.
Located directly on the banks and slopes of the Elbe, historic half-timbered houses line Elbstraße. With its many lovingly restored buildings, the old town of Lauenburg is the largest ensemble of historical monuments in all of Schleswig-Holstein.
A tour of the old cobblestones of the shipping town brings history to life. Numerous small alleys and staircases connect the old town with the upper town.
The castle there, with its castle tower and Prince's Garden, recalls the time
of the Ascanian dukes.
The Elbe River has shaped the town's history. And shipping itself can still be experienced in Lauenburg. Modern passenger ships and historic steamships
invite you to take tours on the Elbe, the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, or the Elbe Lateral Canal.

Near the waterways, the long-distance cycle routes "Elberadweg," "Alte Salzstraße," "Hamburg-Rügen," and the "Iron Curtain Trail" intersect in Lauenburg, offering a wonderful opportunity to explore the surrounding area by bike.

View of Lauenburg's Old Town from the Elbe Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Lauenburg Elbe Bridge you have a beautiful view of the Elbe, Artlenburg and the Lauenburg skyline. A wonderful photo opportunity - especially in the evening or at night when the lights of the city are reflected in the Elbe.

Milk House Sassendorf

Highlight • Cafe

This rest area for cyclists has a covered seating, practically in the rain. When I was surprised by a shower on my tour, I sought shelter in the lee of a tree. That worked, but if I had driven only 200 m, this place would have been better.

The season at Melkhus starts on May 1st. This place is located in Sassendorf near Hohnstorf. The yoghurts are really delicious. It is a popular resting place for cyclists in summer.

Radegast rest area with views of the Elbe

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the dike you have a beautiful view of the Elbe. Unfortunately, most of the cycle path runs on the side of the dike facing away from the Elbe, so that the Elbe is not often seen from the cycle path.

You like it when the sun 🌞 accompanies you on a tour...clouds are OK too...but countless leaky ones...with liters of cold water...nope...not those...
And those stayed with me kilometer after kilometer...the water stood in my shoes, clothes had been soaked for a long time...barely 5°C and …
