Very beautiful old church, the thick walls are impressive, even in summer you get cold pretty quickly if you're wearing short clothes.

The old railway line starts at the Dettmannsdorf Kölzow petrol station and goes to Bad Sülze. It is great for walking or cycling here, and the route is also suitable for small children.

Here in this wildlife enclosure you can see a lot of deer and stags. There is also a large gate where you can see them better and also feed them. This is always a highlight for children.

Lieper Castle is a rampart in the municipality of Thelkow in the Rostock district, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. It is an early Slavic hill castle from the 8th century. The castle stands on a spur-like ledge twenty meters above the Recknitztal. The inner surface of Lieper Castle is relatively large compared to many other Slavic castle complexes in northern Germany. The diameter of the inner surface is over a hundred meters. The castle rampart was heaped up out of sand on the surface of the earth and limited in the core by stone packs. It is 13 m wide at the foot. Deep trenches also protected the plant. A worthwhile hiking destination. The adjacent nature reserve is also very beautiful.
