    Schöne Tour, hat Spaß gemacht. Ab Boizenburg sind wir jedoch von der Route abgewichen und entlang des Grenzschutzweges dicht an der Elbe gefahren.

    Sehr bergig zwischen Neu-Darchau und Hitzacker. Vor Tourbeginn unbedingt informieren, ob die Fähre fährt, sonst muss man die Berge, so wie ich, zweimal fahren

    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.

    Am 29.7.2016 sind wir (6 Personen) mit der Bahn von Lübeck nach Lüneburg gefahren. Dort war die erste Übernachtung. Am 2. Tag haben wir uns dann mit dem Rad auf unsere erste Etappe(ca. 33 KM) nach Lauenburg gemacht. Die Strecke ist zwischen Lüneburg und Lauenburg manchmal ein wenig schlecht beschildert. Die Wege waren aber gut befahrbar. In Lauenburg hatten wir unsere zweite Übernachtung. Am 3. Tag ging es nach dem Frühstück los in Richtung Mölln. Von Lauenburg an, fährt man ausschließlich nur noch am Elbe-Lübeck Kanal der sogenannten alten Salzstraße entlang. Die Etappe von Lauenburg nach Mölln betrug ca. 40 KM. In Mölln angekommen bezogen wir unser letztes Hotel. Am 4. und letzten Tag unserer Radtour ging es nach dem Frühstück in Richtung Lübeck. Wieder entlang des Kanals kamen wir nach ca. 40 KM wieder in Lübeck an. Während der gesamten Radtour hatten wir leider immer wieder Pech mit dem Wetter. Häufige Regenschauer zwangen uns sehr häufig unsere Tour zu unterbrechen und unter Bäumen und auch in Unterständen Schutz zu suchen. Trotz des vielen Regens war die Strecke immer gut zu befahren. Zwischen Lauenburg und Lübeck ist die Strecke sehr gut ausgeschildert. Insgesamt war es aber eine sehr schöne Tour. Dank der kleine Tagesetappen auch vollkommen Stressfrei. So ist sie auch für Familien sicherlich eine Alternative.
