Source of the Trave

Highlight • River

The source pool of the Trave in the center of the village of Gießelrade is only 20 kilometers as the crow flies northwest of Travemünde. But instead of flowing directly eastwards towards the sea, the path of the Trave initially runs westwards. It flows 113 kilometers in a semicircular arc until it finally flows into the Baltic Sea (Lübeck Bay).

E-Bike Charging Station in Sarau

Highlight • Rest Area

Charging station at the Markttreff in Sarau.
3 different plugs are available on one cable. Unfortunately, only one bike can be charged at a time, i.e. only one of the three plugs can be used.
Also works outside of opening hours.
All charging stations that I have collected and tested for functionality can be found at

The Woltersmühle is a former watermill - one of several along the Schwartau river. Today, only the stately, listed watermill building remains, which is run as a hotel. A beautiful building.
Opposite, directly on the Schwartau, there is a white bench where you can take a break. An idyllic spot.
