Tips from the Community
This church is definitely worth seeing, both from the outside and the inside, and it is located in a very spacious cemetery area that appears very well-kept. The particularly richly decorated east gable was unfortunately covered by scaffolding (May 2026). On the other hand, there is much to discover inside the church, for example the altar area with its Romanesque vault and Neo-Gothic windows, or the late Gothic triumphal cross on the southern chancel wall. For me, however, a highlight was the accessible sacristy (the oldest part of the church) equipped with antique furnishings for visitors. A special feature is also the patron's pew in the church nave, which demonstrates the outstanding position of the families who exercised patronage over the church community.

Top-notch bike path: good asphalt, and even better: magnificent views over the Salzhaff waters. It's prone to wind, so it's best to pay attention to the wind direction.

Anyone approaching Rerik should take this detour: the old fishing village appears across the water. The promenade takes you directly along the water to the harbor and pier.

In late April and early May, the view of the Baltic Sea with its blooming rapeseed in the background is particularly impressive. These are the colors of Mecklenburg: the blue sea, the fresh green of the fields and meadows, and the bright yellow of the rapeseed. Added to that is the intoxicating scent.

Relatively narrow connecting road between Neubukow and Russow. Good asphalt. Directly after Neubuckow there is a cycle path that runs alongside the road until the turnoff to Russow
