    Die Tour hat Spaß gebracht. Leider stimmen für ein paar Abschnitte die GPX Daten nicht mit der Beschilderung zusammen.

    Schöne Runde, teilweise straßenbegleitend mit einigen überschaubaren Steigungen. Schönes Café mit leckerem Eis und Torten direkt am Ratzeburger See.

    Die erste Hälfte bis Ratzeburg ist sehr gut zu fahren.Von Ratzeburg über Schmilau und Brunsmark nach Mölln ist die Strecke doch sehr hügelig mit nicht mehr so guten Wegen, teilweise Kopfsteinpflaster. Deshalb würde ich die Gesamtstrecke als mittelschwer bewerten

    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.

    Eine wunderbare Tour. Wir sind vor zwei/ drei Jahren schon einmal eine ähnliche Tour gelaufen und hatten uns an das Wisentgehege erinnert und sind deswegen einen kleinen Abstecher Richtung Fredeburg zum Wisentgehege gelaufen. Ich finde die Tour schön einfach zulaufen und auch gut geeignet für warme Tage, da große Streckenteile im Wald sind.
