    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

    Vielseitige Tour durch die Natur am östlichen Rand des Ratzeburger Sees. Nur die ersten vier Kilometer an der Straße trüben ein wenig den Auftakt. Wer mit offenen Augen wandert, kann einige Highlights entdecken. Persönlich war die Gruppe Nandus 🪶auf freiem Feld mein schönstes Erlebnis.

    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.
