May 14, 2026, Abandoned Bridge Over the Canal

Old, slightly overgrown bridge on the trail along the Breitenburger Canal. Bridge is stable and does not wobble - on the other side it does not continue.

The church in Stellau is a simple fieldstone building dating from around 1230. Over the centuries, the building underwent several structural alterations; the chancel was demolished in 1634 and again in 1651. From the 17th to the 19th centuries, the building was reinforced with slanted buttresses at the corners. A wooden bell tower was erected in 1851. The church furnishings include a medieval crucifix and a figure of a bishop, a sandstone baptismal font donated by Heinrich Rantzau in 1593, and a wooden pulpit from 1560, which was repainted around 1640/50. The organ dates from 1844/45. Contact: https://www.kk-rm.de/der-kirchenkreis/einrichtungen/institution/institution/ev-luth-kirchengemeinde-stellau/

Idyllic spot on the Stör (dead end), but is closed off because the crossing over the very old barrier is not safe.
