One of the most beautiful places in Lübeck. Sitting here in the evening on the lawn on the banks of the Obertrave, having a little picnic and just relaxing is just great!

Trave Riverside Trail from Lübeck

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

So this path is really beautiful. Both for cycling and hiking. Always nice along the Trave and the allotment gardens on the other side. Various bridges have to be crossed. All in all very varied, lots of beautiful motifs and corners. However, it is also well attended by cyclists, joggers and hikers :-).

Mouth of the Wakenitz at Lake Ratzeburg

Highlight • River

The Wakenitz is the natural outflow of Lake Ratzeburg. It leaves the lake at the northernmost point near Rothenhusen and runs in a north-northwesterly direction to the city of Lübeck. The Wakenitz, a right tributary of the Trave, is about 14.9 km long.

Until the construction of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal (1896–1900), the Wakenitz flowed around the city hill of Lübeck and flowed into the Trave south of the city. After the canal was built, the Wakenitz was blocked off by a dam (Falkendamm) and drained via the culvert into the Krähenteich/Mühlenteich, among other places.

The Wakenitz forms the border between the federal states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania over long stretches.

Due to its wildness, which was also caused and supported by its remote location on the former inner-German border until 1989, the river is also called the "Amazon of the North".
