A very nice view of the cathedral.

We recommend taking the cycle path to the left towards Nahmitz, as the straight path ends after 50 m and you have to use a busy road. The route through Nahmitz is a maximum of 300 m longer, on protected cycle paths or on the road within the town.

Deaconesses live and serve in a committed community of life, faith, and service that understands their service as a commission from Jesus Christ. They are active in a wide variety of diaconal tasks of the church, including in parishes, hospitals, retirement and nursing homes, kindergartens, after-school care centers, and children's homes, as well as many other diaconal areas. They commit to a simple lifestyle, celibacy, and obedience. The respective order of the community determines this principle. Deaconesses in a cooperative form remain connected to their mother house (Deaconess House) for their entire lives. They contribute their income, except for a monthly allowance, to a common fund. In return, mutual care for the sick and elderly is ensured in the mother houses when needed. Many of the deaconesses who worked at Lehnin Monastery found their final resting place in this cemetery.

This is not a rowing boat rental, but a fishing club.

There are cycle paths that simply tell you where to go. And then there's the Emster Canal. It tells stories. Of bricks loaded onto barges when Brandenburg still breathed soot. Of monks in Lehnin who not only prayed but were wise enough to think of waterways. And of a river that at some point no longer dared to be a river – and was canalized, like so many things in the 19th century. The route between Lehnin Monastery and Brandenburg an der Havel is not for adrenaline junkies, but for people with a taste for slowness. There's also asphalt, but often you cycle on embankments, between meadows, water, and pastures. Sometimes a lake to the right, sometimes a reed belt to the left, in between dragonflies flying low and a heron demonstratively blocking the way – because it can. The Emster Canal seems forgotten in some places – but that's precisely its charm. It's this mixture of quiet technological history, green exuberance, and the feeling of cycling somewhere in time between yesterday and tomorrow. The Havel River is never far away, but it gives way to the canal. At least on this tour. And then you arrive. Somewhere between Gollwitz, Schlossblick, and Havelradstätte. Maybe you stop for a break, maybe you continue – but one thing is certain: anyone who has cycled here has experienced more than just kilometers. The Emster Canal is not a postcard motif. It is an encounter. With the landscape. With history. And a little bit with yourself, too.
