フーレンハーゲン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Even though the ground is loose, you can still ride well. There are always little rest stops along the canal – a good thing, especially at 38°C.

The path along the canal is easy to navigate, although some of the gravel is also manageable. It gives you a good jolt. Most importantly, you can observe and see many birds.

Especially now in summer, someone always comes along and provides some variety. The path along the canal is easy to cycle or walk. The many bridges mean that tours can be lengthened or shortened individually.

The Elbe-Lübeck Canal is a 61 km long federal waterway that connects the Elbe near Lauenburg with the Trave in Lübeck and thus with the Baltic Sea. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal connects the Baltic Sea to the network of Central European inland waterways and is therefore of particular importance. It was built according to the plans of Lübeck's construction director Peter Rehder and opened on June 16, 1900. Along with the Kiel Canal, this was the only German canal of this era that was designed from the outset for 1000-ton ships - a considerable size at the time. Nowadays, however, the locks are too small for many ships, so the Elbe-Lübeck Canal is currently mainly important for smaller inland vessels. The canal is now mainly used to transport bulk goods. The canal also plays a role in leisure and sports shipping between the Baltic Sea and the Elbe. The aim is for the Elbe-Lübeck Canal to be navigable for all inland vessels again after its planned expansion and for it to be able to make its contribution to climate-friendly inland waterway transport. But the Elbe-Lübeck Canal is also important for tourism in the Duchy of Lauenburg district. The "Alte Salzstraße" long-distance cycle route runs along its banks, connecting the old Hanseatic cities of Lüneburg and Lübeck on the trail of the historic salt trade route. https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/fachinhalte/S/schifffahrt_haefen/elbe_luebeck_kanal.html

We cycled from Lauenburg to Lübeck. Super way, great nature and there are also places to rest. In Siebeneichen you can still marvel at the ferry service. A nice tour.

When the weather is nice, it's great to ride a bike along the canal.

I've completely driven the ELK several times, it's simply worth it: naturally no inclines, wonderful view of the canal, little going on, well suited the surface (racing bikes excluded).

You can drive many kilometers along the canal, always nice.
