A very short detour - but it's worth it!

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

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.

The church was built in the 13th century and has remained a ruin since its destruction in 1440.

An incredibly solid masonry of precisely hewn fieldstones characterizes this fairly well-preserved ruin. Considering that it has remained in this condition since 1440, this is also quite astonishing. The original church was built in the mid-13th century and fell victim to a major war. Lychen was conquered in the Pomeranian-Brandenburg War (1329-1333).

Every avenue has some kind of beauty. Linden trees are planted very frequently, and these ones here aren't nearly as old as those in other places. In short, why this particular access road to Annenwalde was chosen as Avenue of the Year 2012 is beyond me.
