Maps and trails
Sterley is located in the south-east of Schleswig-Holstein on the edge of the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park. The landscape is surrounded by rolling hills and forests and offers breathtaking views of Lake Ratzeburg. The village itself consists of historic half-timbered houses with thatched roofs - a real highlight for architecture enthusiasts.

Most relevant for tourism are Sterley Castle and the nearby spa town of Mölln. The castle was built in 1741 and today houses a private art gallery and a restaurant serving regional cuisine. In Mölln you can stroll through the picturesque alleys or take a boat trip on the town lake.

Cultural highlights are the annual town festival in Mölln in summer and the Kulturforum Alte Post in Ratzeburg with regular concerts, readings and theatre performances.

For gourmets, we recommend local specialities such as smoked trout from the surrounding lakes or fresh bread from the local bakery.

Outdoor fans will get their money's worth on hikes along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal or bike tours through the picturesque landscape. In winter, you can go cross-country skiing in the area or ice skating on Lake Ratzeburg.

And if it rains? Then we recommend a visit to the Museum of City History in Mölln or a relaxing wellness treatment in the nearby spa town of Bad Oldesloe.

Where is it most beautiful? A walk along the shore of Lake Ratzeburg at sunset offers an unforgettable experience and gives an idea of the beauty of this region.

Sterley, Duchy of Lauenburg - definitely worth a trip!

    Eine durchaus interessante Radtour, doch leider auch mehrere Km auf gefährlicher Landstraße ohne Radweg von Sterley nach Brunsmark.

    WinterWanderNatur! Herrliche, leichte Wanderung durch kleine Wald-, Moor- und Uferbereiche. An der Strecke liegen einige kleine Badestellen, herrlich sauberes Wasser und sogar der Biber hat uns ein Stück des Weges begleitet. Für entspannte Menschen sehr zu empfehlen, nehmt Euch Speis & Trank mit, es gibt im Winter nur in Seedorf den Gasthof und in Dargow am Aussichtsturm den Schaalseehof. Aktuell in der Winterpause.

    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
