The "Mühle" is beautifully located in the forest.

This section of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal leads west from Lübeck to Berkenthin. It is part of the Old Salt Road, which was once an important trade route between Lüneburg and Lübeck. The path is consistently flat and easily navigable by bicycle. Along the way, you'll pass several bridges and locks. The König's Canal Inn in Kronsforde, located on the canal, is a perfect spot for a short break.

The spa park in Bad Schwartau is a green oasis in the heart of town. Here you can relax, take a stroll, and enjoy nature. The view of the spa park lake, which was created in the 1930s, is particularly beautiful.

This section of the cycle path is perfect for a relaxing bike ride. You'll cycle through the picturesque Wakenitz lowlands, past lush vegetation and tranquil bodies of water. Views of the Wakenitz River, glistening in the sun and providing an idyllic backdrop, open up again and again.

Lübeck's lively city center coincides with the medieval city center and is known for its courtyards, alleys, and squares lined with ornate gabled houses. Numerous sights include the 15th-century Holsten Gate, which houses a museum of the city's history, Gothic churches such as the towering St. Mary's Church, and the Holy Spirit Hospital, dating from 1286. Historic sailboats can be seen in the museum harbor. There are also small specialty shops and German restaurants in the surrounding area.
