January 21, 2025,Runde über Berkenthin

Today it's cold air and wet from the fog,
is cycling any fun?
Why discuss it for so long -
you should just try it out.

Where am I going today?
I think I'll go to Berkenthin.
I'll circle around the canal with its thin ice,
alone.
On the way back I go through Kulpin,
I'll soon be back in …

Our Ratzeburg break begins with a tour from Ratzeburg to Berkenthin and along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal (also known as the "Old Salt Road") to Mölln. After a delicious ice cream back through the forest 🌳 and along the Küchensee to Ratzeburg to our hotel "Der Seehof".

June 7, 2025,Kanalrunde bei Tröpfelregen💦

After a heavy rain shower,
I head for the canal.
The sky immediately turns bluer again,
and soon I'm in Berkenthin.
When the rain starts again,
I head back.
Still, I have no regrets,
on the contrary - it's cycling bliss 🚴‍♂️
