At some point during the – anything but ordinary – blooming period of the "Common Broom" between May & June, this hike around the Lankower Lake (and at a nature-safe distance from the Grammsee) is on our program, the "Green Belt" now turning into a broom-yellow. Only the discovery of a narrow path on the north slope of the lake opened the idea for this truly border-experiencing hike to the village of Lankow, razed during GDR times – and simultaneously into a nature of wild beauty.

The Moor & Koppel route runs along the Borgmoor near Dechow. The preservation of this unique biotope and its provision of a habitat for a variety of rare animals and plants today is thanks in part to the traditional structural elements of this landscape: the embankments and field hedges lining paths and roads, the small bodies of water, and the wet grassland.

This small walk in nearby Dechow offers the greatest biodiversity in the smallest area in a variety of landscape forms that are surprising in their originality, including: the Röggeliner Lake with its bathing jetty, the renatured Borgmoor, numerous small bodies of water, old country paths lined on both sides with hazel hedges, and yes, finally, one of the most charming villages far and wide.

Far away from the world. Spectacularly unspectacular is this small circular route, which has as its destination one of the (seemingly) most remote and at the same time most natural lakes (pack your swimsuit?) in the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve. It is part of the nature conservation project "Green Belt" located along the former inner-German border.

The Connection: Two ancient settlements, whose Slavic "ow" ending modestly means "located by the swamp." The Separation: The location directly on the border was Lankow's doom, which was demolished in 1976. The nearby Dechow on Röggeliner Lake, on the other hand, today presents itself as a jewel in the region with its lovingly restored half-timbered farms. What remains is the inseparable connection: wildest wilderness far and wide!

This hike leads, on the one hand, directly into the most recent German history, to the village of Lankow, once picturesquely located on a hill, which was situated on a peninsula in direct border proximity and was demolished in 1976. But it also runs immediately alongside an ambitious renaturation project, which can now be experienced again in its original splendor: the »Molzahner Rinne« – a lowland bog of wild beauty. Nice side effect: the cleaned water flowing out has noticeably improved the quality of the Lankower Lake, which offers with its enchanting fjord-like bays and a small island an important resting place for countless migratory birds.

The geographical location of Dechow contributes significantly to the beauty of the walks. The village is located in the northwest of Germany near Lake Ratzeburg. This lake region is characterised by its numerous bodies of water and thus offers a dreamlike setting for all nature lovers.
One of the most beautiful hiking tours leads along the shore of Lake Ratzeburg. The path winds through dense forests and past small villages before finally ending on the shore of the lake. Here hikers can enjoy the tranquillity and gaze out over the glistening water.
Another highlight are the hikes along the steep banks of the Schaalsee. The steep cliffs offer a spectacular view over the lake and provide unforgettable moments during the tour.
The hikes around the "Mühlenholz" nature park centre are particularly family-friendly. Here there are well-marked paths where children can playfully explore nature. In addition, the nature park centre has informative boards along the route so that both young and old can learn a lot of new things.
The best seasons for hiking in Dechow are spring and autumn. In these months, nature shines in the most beautiful colours and the mild climate invites you to explore. In summer, on the other hand, it can get quite hot, which is why hikes are rather recommended early in the morning or late in the evening.
