What are some less crowded hiking options along the Trave River, away from the main tourist spots?
To avoid crowds, especially during peak season or weekends, consider exploring sections of the Trave River further away from the immediate city centers of Lübeck or Travemünde.

Arriving early in the morning can also help you enjoy popular spots with fewer people.
