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.

Idyllic view of the lake invites you to linger or enjoy

There are two piers here, one for the Ratzeburger and one for the Wakenitz shipping. You can go by boat from Ratzeburg to Lübeck with a change.

Particularly beautiful and varied path. The sometimes steep sections are easily manageable with e-bikes. The east bank is not quite as nice.

Even today, July 11, 2022, very few people were out and the rest stops and restaurants were hardly visited, despite the great weather. However, I only recommend the tour to those who have already gained experience on forest paths and single trails and please do not necessarily do the tour with a city bike or light trekking bike!
