From the cathedral and island town of Ratzeburg, you start on a 35-kilometer circular route that connects Mölln and Ratzeburg. The symbol for this route stands for what Mölln and Ratzeburg are known for: Till Eulenspiegel and the lion. Till is said to have been born in the year 1300 in Kneitlingen near Braunschweig and died in 1350 in Mölln. His memorial stone at the Mölln Nikolai Church commemorates the most famous German jester. The Ratzeburg Cathedral – the oldest brick cathedral in Northern Germany – was built in the 12th century by the Welf Duke Henry the Lion and is the landmark of the island town of Ratzeburg.

Author’s recommendation

Mölln and Ratzeburg themselves also offer you plenty of opportunities for a varied time with their historic old towns and many sights. The adjacent lakes of the two towns and the many rustic inns make this route special.
