Here the Wagenitz flows into Lake Ratzeburg. From here you can also take a boat across Lake Ratzeburg, Henry the Strong or rent a small boat or canoe.

The Wakenitz is the natural outflow of Lake Ratzeburg. It leaves the lake at the northernmost point near Rothenhusen and runs in a north-northwesterly direction to the city of Lübeck. The Wakenitz, a right tributary of the Trave, is about 14.9 km long. Until the construction of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal (1896–1900), the Wakenitz flowed around the city hill of Lübeck and flowed into the Trave south of the city. After the canal was built, the Wakenitz was blocked off by a dam (Falkendamm) and drained via the culvert into the Krähenteich/Mühlenteich, among other places. The Wakenitz forms the border between the federal states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania over long stretches. Due to its wildness, which was also caused and supported by its remote location on the former inner-German border until 1989, the river is also called the "Amazon of the North". Source: Wikipedia

You can take a nice break at the boat rental.

Here you become a cross-border commuter from Schleswig-Holstein to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Or vice versa.

You can follow the former border along the Wakenitz. Before the fall of the Wall, nature lay asleep here for more than 30 years and was able to largely preserve its original appearance.

Here you can see meadow ducks.

Next door in the organic farm shop there is delicious food for the break!

A visit to the bison in Fredeburg is a special natural experience, especially when the herd has had offspring of little calves who are happily conquering their world. Bison are the largest land mammals in Europe that almost went extinct many years ago! The district hunters give them a new home with the district forestry companies. Take the time and draw strength from encountering these unique animals. It's worth it, especially a detour into the beautiful surroundings. The enclosure is located right on the side of the path and there is no entry fee. You can simply walk past it in a relaxed manner and watch the impressive bison. The large, free parking lot at the bison enclosure is also an ideal starting point for tours in the area. www.herzogtum-lauenburg.de/a-wisent-gehege-in-fredeburg
