Downstream, it then continues as a channel traverse. You can follow the course via the towpath bridge. From the bridge, the elevated position offers beautiful views over the canal and the river. The bridge was renewed in 2013/14.

Elbe-Lübeck Canal Riverside Path

Highlight • Trail

Here you can cycle really well, from Lübeck to the Elbe in Lauenburg a well-kept cycle path leads directly along the canal.
Caution: When it rains, the path quickly tends to get quite muddy.
