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.

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

Truly a baroque highlight! Turning from the Oder dike onto the 3.4km access road to Neuzelle, after crossing the floodplain forest, the backdrop of the monastery church opens up. Impressive!

The view from a bench onto the monastery pond is immediately relaxing.

A restored baroque garden with a beautiful orangery, which is used as a café and event venue from May to October and as a shelter for citrus plants in winter

A church that is less impressive and more inconspicuous from the outside. However, the interior is beautiful and definitely worth a visit.
