Maps and trails
Lanze offers its visitors a variety of tourist attractions such as Lanze Castle, which is now used as a hotel and is a popular photo motif. The 13th-century St. Peter's Church and the old railway station are also worth a visit.

The annual "Schöne Aussicht" art festival, at which local artists present their works, provides cultural highlights. Also worth a visit is Lanze's local history museum with interesting exhibitions on the history of the region.

If you want to indulge in culinary delights, you should definitely try the regional specialities such as Labskaus or Pannfisch - typical dishes from northern Germany.

Outdoor activities can be enjoyed here at any time of year: In summer, the numerous bathing lakes entice you to swim and sunbathe, while in winter you can glide through snowy forests on cross-country skis. The best places for this are Lake Ratzeburg and Lake Schaalsee.

But even if it rains, there is plenty to discover in Lanze: For example, how about a guided hike through the nature park or a visit to the nearby leisure and adventure park?

All in all, Lanze is definitely worth a visit and offers its visitors unique experiences in a picturesque setting. Come by and let yourself be enchanted by this charming place!

    Sehr schöne Tour abseits ausgetretener Pfade. Der Weg vom Bahnhof Lauenburg bis zur Palmschleuse entlang der vielbefahrenen Straße ist allerdings etwas ermüdend. Leider ist der Elbhang in Boizenburg derzeit wegen Abrutschgefahr großräumig abgesperrt, dadurch sind sowohl der Aussichtsturm wie auch die Treppe nach unten nicht zugänglich. Die Eisdiele in Boizenburg war am Samstagnachmittag bei besten Wetter leider geschlossen, es gibt aber noch den Eisverkauf aus einem Fenster am Hafenplatz.

    Lauenburg ist toll, das viele Kopfsteinpflaster hat etwas genervt, aber nicht zu ändern. Hohes Elbufer ebenfalls klasse. Wenn man hinter Geesthacht von der Elbe weg dem Track folgt, steht man irgendwann vor einem Zaun mit Stacheldraht. Da geht es nur durch einen Graben weiter. Besser umfahren. Der Rest bis zum Elbe-Lübeck-Kanal war etwas langweilig, dazu hat heute aber auch der Gegenwind und die noch fehlende Vegetation beigetragen. Insgesamt eine schöne Runde.

    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
