Tips from the Community
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 great trail through the forest, mostly paved with occasional cobblestones. Increased traffic among hikers and cyclists.

Great cycling. Short climbs and descents. Beautiful scenery, often with direct views of the lake.

Make no mistake. The view of the lake really isn't that great, as it's much too far from the spot with the bench. But the scenery is definitely magnificent. Once you've really got going on the very hilly bike path, it's easy to miss the opportunity to look out and can't or don't want to slow down. You're also quite busy with the constant cobblestone sections!

While there are hardly any views of the lakes, you could easily make a detour, for example, to the Luzin ferry landing or to the Devil's Stone (on the other side). What's annoying about the path itself are several cobblestone breaks. These chicanes are pretty stupid, probably just a misunderstanding of monument preservation.

It is part of a 1,200-meter-long city wall that was built from fieldstone in the Middle Ages and encloses the historic town center.
