ゼルムスドルフのおすすめライド

Still suitable for racing bikes in 2025.

I like St. Mary's Church. But I don't pay admission. Everyone should be able to stay in a place of worship. I think it's pretty cheeky to charge admission to visit a church.

Good asphalt, almost flat and wonderful views - perfect for a quick lap.

The square is called "Schöne Aussicht" and lives up to its name, because from here you really do have the very best views across the Domsee to the Ratzeburg Cathedral and the district museum and the Paul Weber Museum are also clearly visible from here. From the Domsee it is a steep climb up to here, but it is worth it and then it goes downhill again. 😉

During the GDR era, we used the Lübeck-Schlutup border crossing to Selmsdorf many times to visit our relatives who lived along the Baltic coast. I remember the oppressive atmosphere and the pounding heart when you drove down this road and were about to be checked by the GDR border guards. The fact that you can ride a bike here today in the sunshine is a great blessing.

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
