There is a lot going on at the Bridge Festival.

Very nice route in MV.

Beautiful secondary road with little traffic, smooth asphalt

Ideal for catching your breath after the climb.

Biestow Village Church is the church in the Rostock district of Biestow. The current church building was consecrated on October 28, 1298. The church is built primarily of fieldstone. Its architectural style is between Romanesque and Gothic. Renovations have been necessary over the past 26 years. The leaded windows were replaced in 1988, and the church roof was re-tiled in 1992. The organ was overhauled in 1993, and the chancel was redesigned in 1998. Interior renovations began in 2000, during which 16th-century wall paintings were discovered in the chancel vault. The four archangels were restored to their original form and color.

The tower houses three bells, the oldest and smallest of which is a bronze bell cast in 1627. Two further bronze bells had to be handed over for war purposes in 1918 and were replaced in 1923 by two cast iron bells.

Inside the church, the dome vault contains 14th-century frescoes that were discovered and restored in 1899. The women painted in the choir vault depict the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. On the east wall of the nave is a solitary painting of the Deposition from the Cross, and in the choir arch opposite the pulpit is a depiction of the Flagellation of Jesus.

Lands that Pribislaw donated to the Doberan Monastery upon its founding in 1171. The church was established by the monastery shortly thereafter. Around 1300, Rabenhorst (Rethwisch) temporarily belonged to the parish. On April 7, 1333, Duke Albrecht II granted the monastery jurisdiction over Parkentin. The church belonged to the monastery's archdeaconry until 1552. After the secularization and dissolution of the monastery, the site came under the ducal domain. The first Protestant pastor appointed by the duke, not the abbot, was Brand Meseke in 1557.
