Romantic forest hike to lakes and along the SchwartauAt the beginning, the route goes through the Waldhusen Forest, past interesting boundary stones (old border between Lübeck and Oldenburg), then through the Kreuzkamper lake area, through the Beutz Forest, the Sielbachtal nature reserve and along the E1 long-distance hiking trail to Ratekau, where missing the visit to the fieldstone church should definitely be avoided. The last section in the valley of the Schwartau is very idyllic. Here the path goes uphill and downhill through the forest, sometimes at the top of the steep edge, sometimes below, definitely a very beautiful, romantic path!

The Ratzeburg Lake is one of the typical ice age lakes in Schleswig-Holstein. Framed by a gentle hilly landscape with mixed forests and small-scale agriculture. The hiking tour initially runs above, later then at lake level, along the western shore. The lakeshore is characterized by wide reed belts. At the reed-free shore areas, there are several bathing spots and very often private accesses to the lake.
Up to the outflow of the Wakenitz, the hike runs almost exclusively on natural paths. On the eastern shore, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, some sections have to be covered on the road. However, this is not problematic as traffic is very limited.
On the eastern side, the hike mostly runs a bit further away from the lake. Campow and Utecht are typical small farming villages in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The route is chosen in this direction so that you can follow the course of the sun and therefore mostly stay on the sunny shore side.

The route begins at a parking lot in Römnitz and leads over lightly trafficked roads northwards to the beautiful Zick Zack Trail and from there along the shore of Lake Ratzeburg back to the starting point.
If you're lucky, you might spot the local wild rhea population. The route is also suitable for bicycles.

I started at the parking lot in Rothenhusen and took the bus (line 8710) to Ratzeburg (Lüneburger Damm). From there, I went through the town first to the Domsee. Then you follow the mostly natural path on the east shore through the hilly moraine landscape.
