The pilgrimage route also offers spiritual experiences: from open churches to opportunities for dialogue. A pilgrim's blessing is given at some places and pilgrim's passes are also available.

Start: Fürstenberg/Havel

Destination: Fürstenberg/Havel

Length: 125 km

Course: Fürstenberg/Havel - Himmelpfort - Zehdenick - Gransee - Lindow (Mark) - Rheinsberg - Fürstenberg/Havel

Route description: From Fürstenberg/Havel, the route follows well-surfaced paths for eight kilometres through woods and meadows between two lakes to the former Cistercian monastery of Himmelpfort. The monastery was founded in 1299, and today the ivy-covered brick arches of the ruins attract interested visitors. From Himmelpfort, the route first leads south over the lock bridge, 37 kilometres along the water to the Zehdenick town harbour. The wonderful grounds of the former Cistercian monastery dating back to 1250 can be accessed via Klosterstraße - another exciting monastery ruin with a chequered history. The north wing houses a museum with a café. The outdoor area with its diverse herb garden and orchard is accessible all year round. The route continues via Gransee to Lindow (Mark), 34 kilometres away. In Gransee, not only the surrounding town wall and St Mary's Church, built in 1250 and 1525, are worth seeing, but also the former Franciscan monastery from the 13th century. The route continues through woodland and along riverside paths to Lindow (Mark) Monastery. A Jewish-Christian-Muslim ‘Garden of the Book’ is run in the monastery complex dating back to 1234, which is open all year round and is home to plants found in the holy scriptures of the three Abrahamic religions. After another 21 kilometres, there is no monastery in Rheinsberg, but instead a castle next to the lake and the Protestant St. Laurentius Church. The last 29 kilometres lead through the Brandenburg Lake District back to Fürstenberg/Havel.

Arrival / Departure:

Public transport: The train stations Fürstenberg/Havel and Gransee are served hourly by the RE 5 from Elsterwerder via Berlin to Rostock or Stralsund. Flixbus operates the route Leipzig - Fürstenberg/Havel - Stralsund.

Literature: Further tips and inspiring texts can be found in the brochure ‘Himmlische Touren durch Brandenburg’ (Susanne Atzenroth) published by the 'Amt für kirchliche Dienste' (AKD)
