Reinfeld - Nütschau

Harvest residue after persistent rain

Old Town of Bad Oldesloe

The Nütschau Monastery does not have a history spanning hundreds of years, as it was only founded in 1951. It is the northernmost Benedictine monastery in Germany. Depending on occupancy, the associated youth house also has a few places for pilgrims, so early reservation is highly recommended.

Note(s)

The pilgrimage route along the southern shore of the Baltic Sea has various names, in Germany for example also "Baltic-Westphalian Way of St. James". From Poland eastward, the designation "Pomeranian Way of St. James" is common. In this documentation, we stick to the cross-border name "Via Baltica", partly because of the brevity of the name, and also because pilgrims to Rome or even Jerusalem can use it.
