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.

From this dirt road on the edge of the forest, you have a wonderful view over the fields to the southeast. Every now and then, huge oak trees are scattered in the silhouette.

The Predigerau runs between the field path and the Bokhorst. Here it has a lively, winding course. A bridge that is increasingly crumbling marks an old crossing into the forest. Strange: At this landmark, a 5 m high cross stands crookedly in the forest.

Two granite steles on a leafy meadow mark the bridge on the Predigerau. The FFH area Bönebütteler Gehege is a lowland area in the transition area between the Geest and the hill country and is drained via the Predigerau, which is a tributary of the Schwale and flows via the Stör towards the Elbe.

Almost 250 linden trees, some over 160 years old: The linden avenue of Schönböken was voted the most beautiful avenue in Schleswig-Holstein in 2010 with almost 250 linden trees, some of which are over 160 years old. The avenue offers a different view in every season, always evoking a feeling of grandeur. As you can imagine, it is a natural monument that is alive and subject to constant change. Avenues turn streets into an experience. The trees planted at regular intervals provide a frame for the view of the landscape. The avenue, as a valuable natural and cultural asset, increases the quality of the environment and the quality of life of people. The avenue of Schönbeken with its linden trees, which are over 160 years old, was planted in 1856 by the landowners of the time not only as a befitting driveway, as a status symbol, but also as wind and weather protection for arriving carriages. Where the avenue joins the federal highway 430, the trees form a funnel-shaped opening and are welcoming. https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/naturdenkmal-im-kreis-ploen-die-lindenallee-von-schoenboeken-100.html
