    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

    Wir sind über den "Amazonas des Nordens", die Wakenitz, von Lübeck aus mit dem Schiff nach Rothenhusen gekommen und haben in Ratzeburg nach der Einkehr in der "Fischerstube" den Zug zurück genommen. Ein schöner Tagesausflug mit Einkehr- und Bademöglichkeiten auf dem Weg! Leider läuft man nicht die ganze Zeit am Seeufer, oft ist ein Waldstück dazwischen und das Ufer ist oft privat...

    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.

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.
