Discover Vitense: Cycling Routes and Cultural Heritage

Explore Vitense as you plan your holiday through two themes: regional cycling routes and cultural history. In Rehna, monastic and town heritage come together with an audio tour featuring 17 stops; Vitense Parber offers a different focus with its restored barns.

Cycling between Rehna and Vitense Parber

Rehna organises regional cycle tours from May to October, and there is an e-bike charging station at Freiheitsplatz. Tour dates and charging station arrangements may vary seasonally. The R4 runs for 10 km from Demern through Rehna to Vitense Parber. The R3 connects the Radegast corridor with Schönberg; Vitense Parber is designated as a visitor area. The routes offer different points of reference for planning: the R4 has a specified route length, while the R3 highlights the connection between the corridor and Schönberg.

Discover Rehna Monastery

At Rehna Monastery, you can visit the monastery museum and church, and use an audio guide in German or English. These two language options let you choose the audio guide that suits your preferred language. The monastery garden, Kneipp pool and barefoot trail are also free to access. The museum and church provide a cultural focus, while the garden, pool and trail extend your visit to outdoor spaces. Visiting arrangements and access may vary seasonally.

Town History and Craftsmanship in Rehna

The 17 stops on the audio tour of Rehna take you to half-timbered houses, artesian wells and the former monastery complex. The half-timbered houses and wells complement the monastery complex with other traces of the town: residential architecture and water supply. This means the tour is not limited to the history of the monastery. The Deutsches Haus is open to visitors and contains the inventory of one of Rehna’s last shoemaking workshops, as well as historic objects relating to Mecklenburg folk costumes. While the audio tour brings together various stops around town, the Deutsches Haus combines workshop inventory and costume objects in one place. Access and opening arrangements may change. Half-timbering features a visible wooden framework that divides the wall into sections.

Restored Barns in Vitense Parber

The restored barns in Vitense Parber are designated as a special tourist destination and experience area in the Radegast Valley. This architectural feature offers a contrast to Rehna’s monastery complex, half-timbered houses and collection objects. Check the restoration status locally before visiting.

Which accommodation suits your travel plans?

Compare the location of a specific accommodation with the places you actually want to visit. The time of year also makes a difference: Rehna’s organised cycle tours run from May to October, while access and opening arrangements at cultural sites may vary seasonally. If you want to combine both, check the relevant visiting arrangements and tour dates for your travel dates.
