On the Zollensteig stands the Elisabethkapelle (Chapel of St. Elisabeth), founded in the 13th century and renewed around 1660/70. The church originally belonged to the hospital of the same name. Saint Elisabeth (1207-1231), Landgravine of Thuringia, enjoyed great veneration, especially in the 13th century, as a helper of the sick and the poor. The western end of the Elisabethkapelle was formed by a pillar gable with a small bell tower, projecting ribbon rods, and terracotta as decorative elements. During the great city fire of 1617, the hospital went up in flames. After another fire in 1678, the chapel served as a state salt magazine until the 19th century. That is why the church is still popularly known as Sazkirche (Salt Church). The salt stored here came from Lüneburg, later by water from Halle and Schönebeck. From 1891 to 1926, the Elisabethkapelle was used by the Catholic community, founded in 1888, and once again served its original purpose as a place of worship during this time.

The oriented brick church was built according to the plans of architect Kurt Matern, cathedral master builder of the Paderborn diocese. The house of worship, with its distinctive tower, was erected in the Neo-Romanesque style and offers 223 seats.

The campsite is located directly on the water and offers pitches for tents, RVs, and long-term campers. The owner is very friendly, straightforward, and helpful. The restrooms and showers are also in very good and well-maintained condition. One of the best campsites I've visited so far :) You should bring your own food, as the restaurant closes at 8 p.m.

Without a doubt, one of the most interesting and unique rest stops I've ever seen on my travels. Not only does it look great, but you can also take shelter from the rain ;)

Interesting art along the street. The houses here are also impressive: a mix of old and modern.

The trail is sandy, but still easily navigable with tires 45mm or wider. There are only a few isolated spots where the sand is really deep and difficult to navigate.

The village church is located in a sleepy village with a stork's nest. If you're lucky, you can watch the birds.
