Maps and trails
Geographically, Bäk is located between the cities of Ratzeburg and Lübeck, directly on the B 207 trunk road. The town is surrounded by an idyllic landscape of meadows, fields and forests, which offers a breathtaking panorama at any time of year.

Bäk is best known for its historic church of St. Marien as well as the Bliestorf castle estate with its impressive Renaissance castle from the 16th century. Those interested in culture will also love the local history museum, which provides insights into the history of the region.

For nature lovers, a visit to the nearby Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park or a hike through the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve is worthwhile. In summer you can also swim at the nearby Großensee or take a boat trip.

Culinary Bäk has some highlights to offer - be sure to try the regionally famous Rote-Grütze cake or enjoy fresh venison from the local hunter.

Even if the weather is bad, you don't have to miss out on activities: just visit one of the many cosy cafés or restaurants and let yourself be spoilt with culinary delights.

The best thing about Bäk? It's beautiful in every season! In spring the meadows and fields are in bloom, in summer it's warm enough for swimming and boating, in autumn you can admire the colourful foliage and in winter a romantic sleigh ride through the snow-covered landscape is a great option.

Bäk is definitely worth a trip - let the beauty of this town enchant you!

    Wunderschöne kleine Tour um den landschaftlich einmaligen See, den man allerdings nur auf dem Westufer gut sehen kann, da der Weg im Osten einige 100m vom Ufer entfernt verläuft, immerhin auch idyllisch durch das naturbelassene Grüne Band, das ehemalige deutsch-deutsche Grenzgebiet. Rast in Ratzeburg mit Dombesichtigung lohnt sich

    schöne Runde - aber Achtung: in Wakenitz muss man ca 50 m nach der Brücke Richtung Bootsanleger fahren - also dem Radweg folgen. Die Beschreibung der Route führt in eine gesperrte Kleingartenanlage

    Abwechslungsreich. Teilweise ist die wegqualität fordernd. Der Weg zu 99% abseits des Strassenverkehrs. Es gibt ein Ministück Dorfstrasse und in Ratzeburg auf Fahraddwegen entlang der Strasse. Wir sind mit 6 Jährigen gefahren. Man muss ab und an mal eine Steigung hochschieben mit Kindern aber das macht gar nichts. Am östlichen Seeufer etwas fordernd. Im Westen geht es in der Tat eine Strecke durch den Schild. Ich fand das nicht nachteilhaft. Viel Wald. Ab und an tolle Blicke. Hoch und runter. Schlechte Wege gute Wege.
