The Neuzelle Monastery1 is a baroque gem.

You are welcome to stop here

There are moments when you're not quite sure whether you're cycling through Brandenburg or have wandered into a Baroque painting. The Neuzelle monastery complex is one of those moments. Suddenly, it appears – as if parked by mistake, in the middle of the landscape, as if someone had made a mistake sorting through the world heritage sites. The view from the Oder Cycle Path is famous – and rightly so. You roll along, lush green beneath your tires, and then – a mirage of sandstone, plaster, and Baroque boldness. The towers pierce the sky, which, depending on the time of day, hangs dramatically smoothed or dramatically gathered. The facade glows – not garishly, but rather with a warm self-confidence, as if it knew its effect but had no desire to make a fuss. If you stop – and you should – you'll quickly realize: It's not just a building. It's a counterpoint to Brandenburg's reserve. Neuzelle is the exclamation at the end of a sentence of Brandenburg's sobriety. In summer, it smells of meadows. In autumn, of fallen leaves. In winter, perhaps of silence. And in spring, of departure. The paths are well-maintained, the view unobstructed – ideal for a break with a view or a few contemplative minutes standing still. Those who continue on take something with them. Not just a photo, but that rare feeling that something wasn't quite right – and that's precisely why it was perfect.

There are many such historic stones along the roads in the Schlaubetal Valley. This one is well preserved.

In strong winds, the ferry doesn't run. Then the only option is via Beeskow, which is 15 km longer 😁

Beautiful place with a view of the monastery. I recommend at sunset.
