Jetty and bathing area on Lake Lütau

Highlight • Lake

Lake Lütauer See is just one of many lakes in this area; certainly one of the most beautiful. A hiking trail leads almost entirely around it; there's a swimming area and a jetty from which you can easily access the very clear water.

Lake Drüsensee

The hiking trail along the west bank of the Drüsensee is one of the most beautiful in this area with great views of the lake.

Hellbach Boardwalk Crossing

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Here a beautiful, winding boardwalk crossing leads over the Hellbach. It gives us a great insight into the valley, the crystal clear water of the stream and the reeds along the stream with many great egrets.

Hellbach Valley Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The nutrient-poor Krebssee is one of the cleanest lakes in northern Germany with a visibility of up to seven meters. A very beautiful piece of nature. When I'm in the area, I always like to stop by here.

Carmen Langmaack Bridge on the Schmalsee

Highlight • Bridge

Carmen Langmaack, who passed away in 2015 at an advanced age, left a remarkable legacy to the town of Mölln. A foundation was established to promote nature conservation, animal welfare, and environmental education – entirely in her spirit. Although she no longer lived in Mölln for many years, she maintained a close connection to her homeland and the surrounding nature. Today, a beautiful footpath with a wooden bridge between the lakes at Schmalsee commemorates her: the Carmen Langmaack Trail.

May 4, 2024,Von Mölln ins Auenland / Hellbachtal

An appointment to hike through the Hellbach Valley. That sounds good. The start is in Mölln. It is easy to get there by train and there is the option of a cake after the hike.
The weather is also playing along. Actually the best conditions for many beautiful pictures from the Shire, from a relaxed day of hiking. The Shire …

Very nice round without concrete. If the weather is good, be sure to pack swimming trunks. Beware of the adders. :-)

August 12, 2025,Mölln (Lauenburg): 7 Seen, Till Eulenspiegel und das Hellbachtal

First, we walked from the Schmalsee lake along the Pinnau River to Mölln's old town. After refreshing ourselves at the French tearoom Papotee (magnifique et delicieux!), I visited Till Eulenspiegel and looked at the church (well worth seeing!). Just a quick glance over the town lake, then we continued through the pretty spa gardens 🦢 and via the Uhlenkolk wildlife …

The Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park offers a rolling landscape shaped by the Ice Age, dotted with numerous lakes, forests, and hiking trails.

Easily accessible by public transport from Hamburg, you can embark on beautiful hikes starting from Mölln or Ratzeburg. Especially in autumn, walking through the colorful falling leaves is a real treat.

July 10, 2022,Wanderung im Hellbachtal

Beautiful hike, great hiking trails, almost always along the water, only a small piece on a bike path. In the end I couldn't take any more pictures because my battery was almost empty. We had coffee at the campsite at Lütauer See (Zur Hütte) and went for a 🍻 on the terrace (Hotel Waldhalle). From there you have a great …

May 6, 2024,Möllner Altstadt und Seenplatte —Runde vom Bhf Mölln

Start: Bus X81, Mölln train station
Destination: RE 83, Mölln train station
Start time: 8:15 a.m.
Weather: Start 10 degrees, destination 16 degrees, sun and cloud mix
After a chaotic journey on public transport (but mainly my fault or you could call it stupidity) I started an hour later than planned.

June 29, 2025,4-Seen Tour in Mölln (Schmalsee/Düsensee/Lütauer See/Krebssee)

We started from the train station, but we'd recommend parking at Uhlenkolk if you're coming by car. The route is more scenic from there, as you don't have to meander through Mölln first. In summer, feel free to bring your swimsuit; you can jump into the water and cool off almost anywhere.
