Lenschow Memorial Stone

Highlight • Monument

Here once stood the village Lenschow, which was demolished in the 70s. It was too close to the border to the single FRG.
Today, there is almost nothing left to see from the former inner-German border.

Wakenitz River (former border river)

Highlight • River

From here you have a beautiful view of the river, which is also called the "Amazon of the North".
The bridge connects Schleswig-Holstein with Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.

Alder Carr in the Wakenitz Lowlands

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Even if it does not look like this: you can get through dry feet. Right at the beginning of the hike, at the foot of the pedestrian bridge, lies this beautiful Bruchwald in the Wakenitz lowlands.

Lake Ratzeburg

Highlight • Lake

The north bank of the Ratzeburg lake with its entrances, the boat docks and the nature of the banks is a delightful place for leisurely walks and longer hikes.

Rothenhusen Pier (Am Fährhaus)

Highlight • Rest Area

At the end of a hike and after a delicious snack in the old ferry house, this is the starting point for the return trip by boat to Ratzeburg without stopping.

Drägerweg

Highlight • Trail

The Drägerweg is a hiking trail between Lübeck and Rothenhusen that has been continuously maintained since 2007.

The trail runs almost parallel to the Wakenitz, but has little contact with the river in the southern part. The trail is about 18 km long between the Moltkebrücke pier in Lübeck and Rothenhusen on Lake Ratzeburg. The waterway, used by the Wakenitz shipping company, is about 14 km long.

The name refers to the former Lübeck factory owner Heinrich Dräger, whose foundation contributed organizationally and financially. Additional funding was provided from the A 20 motorway project.
