The village church in Buchholz near Röbel was built in the first half of the 14th century and is one of the earliest examples of Gothic brick architecture in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It stands on a foundation of granite ashlars and features a square west tower that extends into a clad, half-timbered upper story with a flat roof. Particularly striking is the tower's ground floor, which opens on three sides with pointed arches, forming an open vestibule – an architectural rarity in the region. The interior features pointed arch windows and portals, as well as profiled brickwork, complemented by colorful murals from the 1930s. Between 1998 and 2000, the church was extensively renovated, including the replacement of the roof. Since 2003, a support association has supported the maintenance and preservation of the building. Today, the church is used not only for worship services, but also as a space for cultural events and art projects.

A bench in the green surroundings invites you to linger, and a look inside the simple yet impressive church is always worthwhile. A quiet place steeped in history – perfect for a moment of peace on your bike ride.

The village church in Priborn was built from brick in the neo-Gothic style between 1869 and 1870. It replaced an older building and was designed according to plans by Schwerin's building inspector Theodor Krüger. The rectangular building, with a polygonal chancel and a striking west tower, is richly decorated with decorative friezes and brick blind panels. Inside, there is a simple wooden altar with an altarpiece from 1869, a limestone baptismal font, a carved pulpit, and an organ from 1899. A stained-glass window bearing the coat of arms of Duke Carl from 1591 was retained from the old church. The church was closely associated with the Priborn estate, which at that time was owned by the von Ferber family. Today, the church belongs to the region's Evangelical Lutheran parish and is a listed building.

The route leads through a landscape of fields and meadows, while the dense trees along the alley provide pleasant shade. This route is particularly suitable for cyclists who want to enjoy a relaxing ride in nature. Thanks to the quiet surroundings and well-maintained paths, the route is ideal for both recreational and ambitious cyclists.

Striking features include the courthouse arcade, the typical brick gable, and the tower with its Baroque cap. The interior features Art Nouveau elements, including paintings depicting the transfer of town charter. The town hall combines Gothic and Neo-Gothic styles and is a significant example of regional architecture.
