A section of the Oder Dyke lies within the municipality of Lunow-Stolzenhagen; the Oder-Neiße long-distance cycle route runs along the dyke. There is also a footpath connecting Lunow and Stolzenhagen via Jungfer and Krähenberge. If you want to plan your stay, you can choose your own focus from cycling, walks and local architectural history. The routes and cultural attractions offer different ways to experience the area without having to combine them into a fixed day’s itinerary.
Cycling and Getting Around on Foot
The Oder-Neiße long-distance cycle route runs along the dyke in Lunow-Stolzenhagen. The walking route between Lunow and Stolzenhagen offers a different perspective: it leads via Jungfer and Krähenberge and takes in a dry polder, dry grassland and woodland communities. This puts a long-distance cycle route along the dyke and a specific walking connection between the two places at the heart of your options.
If you would like to explore the area by bike, bicycles can be rented in Stolzenhagen. The footpath and the cycle route offer different starting points for planning: decide whether you would prefer to focus on the path between Lunow and Stolzenhagen or on cycling along the dyke. Another option for getting around on foot is the Stolzenhagen Geological Garden.
Churches with Distinct Architectural Histories
Lunow Church was built around the middle of the 13th century from carefully dressed fieldstone. It is the only surviving building from Lunow’s early history. Its furnishings include a Baroque pulpit altar dating from 1723. Its medieval construction and Baroque furnishings reflect different historical periods.
The Stolzenhagen Church acquired its present appearance in a Baroque renovation commissioned by Carl Dietrich von Holzendorf in 1737. The von Holzendorf couple are buried in the church. The architectural histories of the two churches are therefore easy to distinguish: in Lunow, the early fieldstone building takes centre stage, while in Stolzenhagen, it is the 18th-century Baroque renovation. The Lunow Local History Museum is located in an attic and adds another specific place to the area’s cultural attractions.
Geological Garden and Waterside Landscape
At the Stolzenhagen Geological Garden, visitors can walk through the garden and work with stones. This combines a stroll with a hands-on activity involving stones. For your planning, this is a different theme from the churches and paths: here, the garden and working with rock take centre stage.
The Hohensaaten-Friedrichsthal Waterway runs through the municipality. The area’s abundance of water also offers opportunities for fishing. The waterway and fishing opportunities are distinct local features; the fishing opportunities mentioned are in the surrounding waterside area.
Seasonal Refreshments and Practical Information
Café Goldrand welcomes travellers during the summer months with coffee, homemade cake or ice cream. Its offerings also include homemade, organic and fair-trade products. The café is seasonal, so check its current opening times before travelling. This lets you include a possible stop in your plans without assuming it is open year-round.
The motorhome parking area in Stolzenhagen has showers, toilets and a waste disposal station. As the facilities may change, check the details before your trip. Swimming and fishing opportunities are close to the parking area; here too, it is advisable to check local conditions before visiting.
