Klinkrade

Geographically, Klinkrade lies on the edge of the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park and is surrounded by green forests. The proximity to the lakes makes it an ideal starting point for water sports activities such as canoeing or sailing. But hikes through the picturesque landscapes are also very popular.

One of the tourist attractions here is Klinkrade Castle from the 16th century, which is now used as a museum and provides an insight into the history of the region. The manor house with its beautiful garden also invites you to linger.

Cultural highlights can also be found in Klinkrade: the annual medieval festival attracts visitors from near and far and lets them immerse themselves in times gone by with craftsmen, musicians and jugglers on the market square. Those who prefer more classical music can attend concerts in the historic village church.

If you are looking for culinary specialities, you should definitely try the traditional plum cake - a speciality of the region! Another recommendation are the fresh fish dishes served directly from the lake.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do: In the nearby Ratzeburger Dom you will find art and history exhibitions as well as concerts to entertain you on rainy days.

The best time to visit Klinkrade is in summer when you can enjoy nature and the water. The best outdoor activities then are canoeing on the lake or hiking through the woods - a must for every nature lover!
