The Stift zum Heiligengrabe Monastery, a former Cistercian monastery, is the only almost completely preserved monastery in Brandenburg that has been in continuous use since its founding. In 1998, it was designated a cultural monument of national importance. Today, the monastery serves as a meeting place, a cultural center, and a spiritual center. A wide variety of events take place here: devotions, concerts, conferences, retreats, and seminars of various kinds, from bread baking to wild herb weekends, to writing and ceramics courses. You can stay here, book a retreat, relax, or even go hunting. The youth construction workshop of the German Foundation for Monument Protection operates here. A monastery shop is open for purchase. Weddings are possible here, as are excursions, both individual and organized, to the surrounding area and further afield. Guided tours are available, and overnight stays are available. From Heiligengrabe, you can take the train to Wittstock or Berlin/Gesundbrunnen and Wittenberge. Further information https://www.klosterstift-heiligengrabe.de/

Along the cycle path are a chain of lakes, including the Obersee, which you can cycle to directly. But be careful, you have to find your way.

Blesendorp, as it was known at the time, was first documented in 1291 as belonging to the Cistercian monastery of Marienfließ. The single-story half-timbered houses, with their welcoming front doors, windows, and shutters, cluster around the village green in the center, where the fieldstone church with its massive transverse tower stands, as well as the old schoolhouse from 1818 and the rectory. Blesendorf was considered a nest of ruins until its 200 residents participated in the village renewal program and, from 2001 to 2004, made their village more beautiful than ever before! A community center with a bowling alley and stone oven was also built.

Maulbeerwalde – the name alone suggests something special! Three villages in the area surrounding present-day Maulbeerwalde were destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. Frederick the Great had a village established on this site, with the stipulation that mulberry trees be planted as a basis for silkworm breeding. Reminders of the old days include the manor chapel from 1830, which has been immaculately restored, a night watchman's house, and the bell tower on the village street. The Art Nouveau manor house, a two-story plastered building, was a retirement home until 1997 and is now privately owned.

Expulsion, flight and new beginnings: From 1936 to 1945, DOBIMAR V. KAMEKE was the head of seed breeding in Streckenthin. On July 20, 1944, he was taken prisoner by Russian troops. He and his colleagues had no way of bringing the valuable potato collection or the seeds to safety for further cultivation. A hastily packed backpack with seeds that was supposed to secure a new beginning was lost during the escape.
