A photo stop at one of the town entrance signs is a must! Otherwise, the route is easy to navigate on a racing bike, although there are some road damages in places.

Who was Vicelin? Vicelin (c. 1086–1154) was a Christian missionary and later Bishop of Oldenburg in Holstein. He is considered the "Apostle of the Wagrians and Holsteins" because he evangelized the Slavic and Saxon populations of present-day Schleswig-Holstein in the 12th century.

Today's Significance With its 40-meter-high tower, the Vicelin Church is visible from afar and remains the spiritual center of the community today. Modern stained-glass windows, a richly decorated interior, and the park-like church grounds make it a cultural and spiritual attraction.

Historical Origins St. James's Church in Bornhöved was consecrated in 1149 by Bishop Vicelin in the Romanesque style and has dominated the town center ever since. Archaeological finds even indicate a predecessor chapel dating back to around 980, making it one of the oldest religious buildings in the region.

If you are in good shape you can manage the route very well.

Beautiful linden avenue

Great route, great to drive...and if the weather is right...

The mighty trunks of the old oaks are truly impressive. It's just a shame that many of them, which have survived for centuries, are now being wiped out by disease and insect infestation.
