Lenzerwische Countryside

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Good asphalt and therefore easy to ride on, but: car drivers sometimes show ZERO consideration for cyclists, so watch out!

St. Catherine's Church, Lenzen

Highlight • Religious Site

The foundation stone of this church dates back to the 14th century. In the years that followed, it underwent several renovations and alterations. After two devastating city fires (1646 and 1703), it had to be rebuilt. It was completely restored and renovated from 2004 to 2007.

The old high altar dates from 1652, and the baptismal font stands on four figures of St. Catherine, cast in bronze in 1486. The organ is a proud 311 years old.

Charon sculpture on the Elbe dike

Highlight • Monument

"Charaon was created as the first major free work of art. The exploration of the theme of "Plowman and Death" blossomed here somewhat beyond the scope of the text. In the context of the theme of death, this vision of the ferryman to the underworld emerged. He has no skull-like face, he is not frightening, but very serious and dignified. Priestly in his appearance, he rather takes away the fear of the crossing. One does not doubt or despair of him. Almost benevolently, he takes us away, inexorably following the laws of eternity. I think everything will be alright on his chariot; the sickle is meant only for the body, not for us." Bernd Streiter, 1994
