It's worth seeing the church from the inside too. In the summer months it is an open church and anyone interested should go inside. The interior is so rich that it almost blows your mind.

Someone should say churches are boring. We can only say one thing, visit the churches and you will be impressed by the simplicity of the churches. Unfortunately we didn't make it to the last church in Landkirchen. (Closed 😞)

The bike tour leads to the four historic churches on the island of Fehmarn, past the Grüner Brink nature reserve in the north.

The route is signposted with a church symbol on the bike signs.

The church tour is one of the themed tours that is also advertised on the Fehmarn website. A mandatory round, so to speak.
We started at the entrance to Landkirchen, where you can also find the beautiful Petrikirche. But we saved this for last.

Actually, sun was announced for the whole day today. We started out in fog and assumed that the fog would clear up soon. However, the fog has stubbornly persisted. In between the sun …

Important notice: Extensive construction work for a wind farm is currently taking place between Vadersdorf and Petersdorf. As the Kirchentour cycle route runs there, this has an impact on the tour. The project will continue until mid-2027. A diversion will be set up.
