Mustin

Nature at Lake Bolzer See

The entire Lake Bolzer See and the surrounding lakeshore area form a 112-hectare nature reserve. This area figure applies to the protected area as a whole, meaning the lake and lakeshore area together. A path from Bolz is also of interest for a nature-focused visit: it offers glimpses of the nature reserve. Travelers who would like to consider landscapes and protected nature when planning their trip will find a distinct focus here alongside the cultural destinations in Ruchow and Lenzen.

Tour 4 and a place to rest

Tour 4 passes through Mustin. A section of this tour is also described for Ruchow: it includes a covered pavilion suitable for taking a break. This provides two specific points of reference for the cycling tour—its route through Mustin and the place to rest on the section in Ruchow. If you include Tour 4 in your travel plans, you can use this information to help guide your choices. The other destinations described offer different highlights: nature at Lake Bolzer See, architectural history and organs in Ruchow, and crafts and an annual event in Lenzen.

Church, organs, and history in Ruchow

Ruchow village church is a fieldstone church first mentioned before 1234. Its furnishings include a Baroque altar and two valuable historic organs. The church thus combines an early mention with several specific features of particular interest to visitors interested in cultural history. Regular concerts in the “Music in Old Walls” series are also held in the church. Its history, furnishings, and concert series offer different reasons to consider including Ruchow in your travel plans.

Another historic destination in Ruchow is the cemetery, where the grave of Ludwig Reinhard, a member of the Frankfurt National Assembly, is located. Ruchow Windmill is another local attraction; it has been beautifully restored. Visitors choosing cultural destinations can therefore choose between church architecture and organs, a historic grave, and the restored mill, rather than limiting their visit to a single theme.

Crafts and an event in Lenzen

In Lenzen, the Brauntöpferei offers a wide selection of traditional brown pottery in the Bunzlau style. The reference to the style and pottery makes this destination particularly interesting to travelers interested in traditional pottery. The “Werk2” workshop is also located in Lenzen. In addition, the Plant and Pot Day is held there every year on May 1. The pottery, the workshop, and the recurring event are different reasons to include Lenzen in your travel plans based on your personal interests in culture and crafts.

For other places to visit in the same group of towns, you can also see Sternberg, Blankenberg, Langen Jarchow, Dabel, Kuhlen-Wendorf, Witzin, Brüel, and Weitendorf.
