Boats on Plötschersee

Highlight • Lake

A few boats lie quietly on the shore or float gently on the lake. The surface is smooth. Trees line the lake's edge, and behind them, a path leads through the landscape. It's a quiet place—perfect for a break.

June 11, 2022,Durch das Salemer Moor zum Garrensee

The last ice age formed this unique landscape with the high moor, the mixed beech forests and various lakes.

We start our hike in the small town of Salem.

The Salemer Moor offers a lot of peace and numerous rare plant species. Unfortunately also many hungry mosquitoes.

At the end of the day, we rewarded ourselves with a delicious cake at Spargelhof Kaiser in Salem, and we took fresh asparagus and ham home with …

We saw little of the moor.😔 It was more of a nice forest tour 🌳🍂with two lakes.😆
At Plötscher See you go up on the slope and can catch a glimpse here and there 👀through the dense beech forest🌳.
The hiking trail around the Garrensee goes along the overgrown shore. The lake has two small bays and is beautifully turquoise. …

Unspectacular but nevertheless nice hike through the lake and moor area southeast of Ratzeburg. The only downside: mosquitoes!!!
