This round was very nice. Great views of the lake and routes that are easy to drive on. And because the Ratzeburger See wasn't enough for us, we circled the Domsee and the Küchensee at the same time. At the Römnitzer Mühle you can enjoy an ice cream sundae, coffee and cake or a cool beer. We even saw a …

It was a beautiful tour, covering almost 32 km in total, and included a stop at the Fischstube restaurant in Ratzeburg. The lower third of the lake is very hilly on both shores, and you have to be very careful. I wouldn't cycle here on the weekend.

Was it a good idea to cycle around the lake on May 1st???
Lots going on in Ratzeburg! The maypole is being put up.
There is also a lot going on on the cycle paths and with so many pedestrians you just have to cycle slowly. Luckily we don't fall over so easily 😉
And because there is so much …

I was surprised at the inclines on the circular path around the lake. The rain of the last few days hasn't made it any easier. Very well signposted and quiet circular path. Lots of nature, sometimes right by the lake, sometimes a little further away.
