    Hiking

    The "Amazon of the North", the Wakenitz, begins at Rothenhusen at the northern end of the Ratzeburg Lake. As a natural outflow of the lake, it meanders over a length of almost 15 kilometers through a lot of nature to Lübeck.
    As the former border river of the inner-German border, much of the river's originality has been preserved. In the first few kilometers in particular, the Wakenitz meanders picturesquely through alder forests.
    Attractive as canoeing area or for hikes along the Wakenitz on the "Drägerweg" there are many delightful sights and views of the river and the landscape.

    Hiking

    Pure nature, an ideal relaxing route for canoe or kayak drivers.
    The passive motorboat ride also has its charm.
