The Brandenburg Monastery Trail connects the former Cistercian monasteries of Himmelpfort, Zehdenick and Lindow (Mark) as well as the town of Rheinsberg over a distance of about 125 kilometers and leads pilgrims along the Havel River and clay pits, wide fields, lakes and charming villages. It invites you to follow in the footsteps of the heritage of this Christian order, to rediscover nature and yourself.
Historic monastic sites as well as educational and display gardens are open to all who are interested.
The pilgrimage route also makes spiritual offers: from open churches to opportunities for conversation. At some places the pilgrim blessing is given.
