The best road cycling routes around Grande

Pretty chapel in half-timbered style

Beautiful church made of fieldstones... in front of it is a table with two benches... it was a nice short break for me on my hike.

A beautiful small and certainly old church.

Here you can observe fallow deer 🦌. Taking photos is a bit difficult due to the double fence 😅. Great animals

Beautiful route behind Trittau through nature.

... The surface is a little rougher, but the section is very easy to ride - very little traffic - wide road.

The first reliable documented mention of Nusse was in 1194 in a contract between the Ratzeburg bishop and the cathedral chapter. This makes Nusse one of the oldest parishes in the Duchy of Lauenburg district. The original church in Nusse was built around 1250. The first documented mention of the Behlendorf parish, however, only appeared in the Ratzeburg bishop's tax of 1319. The current church replaces the original building, which was demolished in 1837 after a vault collapsed. The new building was built in 1838/39 using the old foundation walls. A three-aisled hall made of fieldstone and brick was created with a raised central nave and a recessed polygonal choir. As a result of the flat angle of inclination of the side roofs, moisture damage occurred to the masonry, so that reconstruction was necessary. In 1914/15, a uniformly high roof was built that arched over all three naves and a mighty tower was built on the west side, which was drawn into the nave. The interior furnishings are essentially from the time when the church was built. The late classicist pulpit altar, which, like the organ, was made by Theodor Vogt from Lübeck, is noteworthy. The classicist vase-shaped baptismal font was also created by C. A: Schönemann in 1839 especially for the new church. It replaced a baptismal font from the 13th century, which was still there but was badly damaged. A wooden crucifix (15th century) and two paintings (Annunciation, 1st half of the 16th century; Last Supper, 17th century) were taken from the previous church. Also worth mentioning is the picture of Pastor Andreas Sartori from 1898. https://www.kirche-ll.de/gemeinden/lauenburg/nusse-behlendorf/gemeindeleben/geschichte.html

In 1230, the Slavic settlement was first mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register as Linowe or Lynowe. The place name goes back to Old Polabian *Linov and is a combination of *lin "tench" and the possessive suffix -ov and means settlement near the tench. Linau is of Slavic origin and lies on the "Limes Saxoniae", the former border between Saxons and Slavs, which enters the administrative area here. According to historical research, it can be assumed that the then "Lynowe" existed as a settlement much earlier. Linau Castle was destroyed in 1291, and the second castle in 1349. The remains of the castle complex are now more clearly visible again, as the foundation of the complex was restored as authentically as possible in a very complex operation in cooperation with the State Archaeological Office. The complex thus gives visitors an idea of its former importance. It is the only castle ruin of its kind in southern Holstein. Linau is located on the edge of the Hahnheide nature reserve and local recreation area, directly on the district border with Stormarn. The community had 543 inhabitants in 1939. After the unspeakable war, there were 1031. Many of them have accepted the community as their new home. Linau has an intact, diverse club life, including a motivated volunteer fire department. This is not least and especially due to the initiative of the Linauers. https://gemeinde-linau.de/unser-dorf/ https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linau
