Hiking

Remains of old stone bridges and walls line the beautiful forest path along the Bille. Here you can see the remains of the old church staircase, which is more than 700 years old and served the citizens of the neighboring villages as a route to the Bergedorf church.

Hiking

The Wohltorfer Kirchenstieg originated around 1312, when Wentorf, Wohltorf, Börnsen and Escheburg became monastery villages of the Reinbek Monastery, but the original connection of the places to the church in Bergedorf remained. The faithful used the path to get to their church. However, the bridge still visible today probably does not date from that time, but very likely from the redesign of the park at the manor house of Georges Fester by Rudolph Jürgens in 1914. Jürgens laid out new paths on the property, including some that led down to the Bille and inevitably crossed the old Kirchenstieg.

Hiking

Unfortunately, the community of Wentorf, in whose district the Kirchenstieg is largely located, has not yet recognized the historical and recreational value of this old path. The path becomes increasingly neglected.
