    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.

    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.

    Am 29.7.2016 sind wir (6 Personen) mit der Bahn von Lübeck nach Lüneburg gefahren. Dort war die erste Übernachtung. Am 2. Tag haben wir uns dann mit dem Rad auf unsere erste Etappe(ca. 33 KM) nach Lauenburg gemacht. Die Strecke ist zwischen Lüneburg und Lauenburg manchmal ein wenig schlecht beschildert. Die Wege waren aber gut befahrbar. In Lauenburg hatten wir unsere zweite Übernachtung. Am 3. Tag ging es nach dem Frühstück los in Richtung Mölln. Von Lauenburg an, fährt man ausschließlich nur noch am Elbe-Lübeck Kanal der sogenannten alten Salzstraße entlang. Die Etappe von Lauenburg nach Mölln betrug ca. 40 KM. In Mölln angekommen bezogen wir unser letztes Hotel. Am 4. und letzten Tag unserer Radtour ging es nach dem Frühstück in Richtung Lübeck. Wieder entlang des Kanals kamen wir nach ca. 40 KM wieder in Lübeck an. Während der gesamten Radtour hatten wir leider immer wieder Pech mit dem Wetter. Häufige Regenschauer zwangen uns sehr häufig unsere Tour zu unterbrechen und unter Bäumen und auch in Unterständen Schutz zu suchen. Trotz des vielen Regens war die Strecke immer gut zu befahren. Zwischen Lauenburg und Lübeck ist die Strecke sehr gut ausgeschildert. Insgesamt war es aber eine sehr schöne Tour. Dank der kleine Tagesetappen auch vollkommen Stressfrei. So ist sie auch für Familien sicherlich eine Alternative.
