A small bench right on the water. Halfway there, she invites you to take a break and have a nice cup of coffee. The sun bathes the other side of the river in golden autumn colors. Just beautiful!

After the founding by the Schwerin cathedral chapter, the first church building was erected in 1217. In 1473 the largest of the three bells was placed in the wooden tower (our oldest piece is still in action today). The large neo-Gothic church was built between 1853 and 1855, the tower of which was destroyed twice by lightning, the last time the tower burned down in 1969. It was not until 1999 that the tower received its current octagonal pyramid top. The interior of the church was completely redesigned by 1979. By dividing the room, the choir with the church service room remained in the eastern part of the nave. A parish apartment was built in the western part. These rooms are used today for parish work, because the parish apartment has been located in the old rectory again since 2005. https://www.wittenfoerden.de/kirche/

The long, narrow Neumühlener See was formed by glaciers from the last ice age. Its western bank is characterized by steep ascents and descents. From time to time you can see the lake through the dense foliage. If you are lucky, you can watch nimble ospreys hunting on the lake.
