The square is called "Schöne Aussicht" and lives up to its name, because from here you really do have the very best views across the Domsee to the Ratzeburg Cathedral and the district museum and the Paul Weber Museum are also clearly visible from here. From the Domsee it is a steep climb up to here, but it is worth it and then it goes downhill again. 😉

During the GDR era, we used the Lübeck-Schlutup border crossing to Selmsdorf many times to visit our relatives who lived along the Baltic coast. I remember the oppressive atmosphere and the pounding heart when you drove down this road and were about to be checked by the GDR border guards. The fact that you can ride a bike here today in the sunshine is a great blessing.
