Anyone who wants to experience a flashback to their childhood will be well served by a journey through time in Lärz.

St. Mary's Church, construction began in the 13th century, is the visible landmark of Wittstock. From the tower you have a good view of the town and the surrounding area. The altar is decorated with a structure (made in 1550 by the Lübeck woodcarver Claus Berg). Above it is an altar structure (early 16th century), which probably belongs to a side altar. Also worth seeing are a late Gothic sacrament shrine, a baroque wooden baptismal font, a Lütkemüller organ, the pulpit and the Madonna sculpture.

The cycle path runs along a former railway line, so it's actually straight for miles. Perfect for racing bikes. There are a few roots near Lärz, so you have to be careful.
