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.

    Vielseitige Tour durch die Natur am östlichen Rand des Ratzeburger Sees. Nur die ersten vier Kilometer an der Straße trüben ein wenig den Auftakt. Wer mit offenen Augen wandert, kann einige Highlights entdecken. Persönlich war die Gruppe Nandus 🪶auf freiem Feld mein schönstes Erlebnis.
