Rieseby can be planned around a range of interests: cultural history, a historic walking route and a longer cycling tour. In the village of Norby, Mühle Anna and its folk museum are among the special places to visit. When planning your day, it is worth deciding first whether you would prefer to focus on the short historic route, the cycling route or a museum visit.

Church and museum

St. Petri is a late-Romanesque brick church dating from the late 13th century. Its features include a churchyard and interior furnishings such as a triumphal cross group, baptismal font, pulpit and Baroque altar. These furnishings offer several specific reasons to look not only at the architecture but also at individual details inside the church. The Baroque altar adds a distinctive note alongside the late-Romanesque building. Check access arrangements separately before your visit.

In Norby, a village in Rieseby, Mühle Anna houses a folk museum with more than 2,000 exhibits. There is also the Old Sawmill, a reconstructed horse-gin shed and a studio in the mill building. The museum visit therefore takes in both the collection and several different buildings and spaces. Anyone interested in everyday and material culture can make this a focus in its own right alongside the church architecture.

On foot or by bike

The historic circular route is approximately 4.8 kilometres long and is listed as taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes. It connects the railway station, the village, Mühle Anna in nearby Norby, the former vicarage and Lake Angelsee. The route thus brings together several different stops in one loop. As trail signs may change, check the route information before setting out.

The 35.61-kilometre HerrenhausTörn offers a different kind of tour. This moderate circular ride starts and ends at Rieseby Church and passes several historic manor houses, mostly along quiet, gently rolling asphalt roads. The two routes are easy to distinguish by mode of travel and distance: the historic route is a walk with an approximate duration, while the HerrenhausTörn is described as a longer cycling tour. Check the surface conditions and access arrangements before setting out.

Choose accommodation to suit your plans

When looking for a hotel or other accommodation, it helps to decide in advance what you want to focus on. The HerrenhausTörn starts and ends at Rieseby Church; the historic circular route connects, among other places, the railway station, the village and Mühle Anna. Compare the address of a specific accommodation with the places that matter for your plans. This way, you can choose your base according to the visits you actually intend to make, rather than deciding solely on the name of the place.
