ザンセンのおすすめツーリングルート

The Hardenbeck church is a fieldstone building originally dating from the 13th century, first mentioned probably in 1271 in connection with the founding of the Cistercian monastery of Boitzenburg. During the Thirty Years' War, the village, including the church, was destroyed in 1634, and Hardenbeck remained uninhabited for almost 100 years. From 1721 onward, Georg Dietloff von Arnim promoted the settlement of farmers and initiated the reconstruction of the church in 1744. The pulpit was also created during this period, although its exact date of origin between 1750 and 1790 is disputed. The timber-clad tower with its open lantern was erected in 1760/61. Two different types of "checkerboard" stones are incorporated into the church's structure: a Johanniter cross stone is located at the southeast corner of the church, and a checkerboard stone can be seen high up on the north side.

A very short detour - but it's worth it!

A large campsite on the shore of Lake Dreetz. It's fairly well-equipped with amenities (restrooms, restaurant, diving center, etc.). It's worth noting that the lake is apparently losing more and more water. The water level has dropped by about 2 meters. It's important to note that the swimming area is very well maintained, though.

Perfect break spot!

Very nice excursion destination and a great swimming spot in summer🫵😉

View of Reiherberg highly recommended
