Great route – easy to ride on a road bike. On a clear day, you can see Lübeck's skyline (7 towers).

A little higher up, there's a bench and a great view by the small wind turbine. A great place to rest after the steep climb.

I like St. Mary's Church. But I don't pay admission. Everyone should be able to stay in a place of worship. I think it's pretty cheeky to charge admission to visit a church.

The Evangelical Church of Zarpen is a brick Gothic church in Zarpen, begun in 1221, which was built in the 13th century as the parish church of this early medieval main town and for the surrounding villages of the former Reinfeld Monastery in what is now the Nordstormarn district.

I wouldn't call it "easy to ride" in 2024. Here, pedestrians and cyclists share a narrow path in both directions that is riddled with tree roots.

Fantastic route out of Lübeck, little to no traffic (at least on Sunday mornings) and good asphalt.
