Barlach-Blick Viewpoint
Highlight • Viewpoint
These are the remains of the northwest bastion at the "Barlach View" built by Duke Georg-Wilhelm of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
Old cannons also stand here, testifying to the fact that this was once a strategically important defensive location.
This is a great place to stroll, relax, and enjoy the fantastic views.
The name "Barlach View" refers to the Ratzeburg artist Ernst Barlach
(1870-1938), who was a student at the Lauenburg School of Letters.
In his autobiography, "A Self-Told Life," he raved about this magnificent view over Lake Ratzeburg.

Comments
with @JR56 and his wife Marlies, dwarf schnauzer Max 🐶 in tow, we meet in beautiful Ratzeburg.
So an excursion to Schleswig-Holstein, just about.
Ratzeburg was formerly a border town and once conveyed the feeling: this is the end of the world.
