Wakenitz Bridge with views of the Osterinsel sculptures

Highlight • Bridge

From this narrow Wakenitzbrücke for pedestrians and cyclists next to the railway line, you have really exceptionally beautiful views of the surrounding nature. Next door on the other side of the tunnel under the railway line is a nice rest area with two benches and also fantastic views over the Wakenitz. A recommended highlight to see when in the area.

View of Kleiner See

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this small and narrow Wakenitz Bridge for pedestrians and cyclists, located next to the railway line, you can enjoy truly exceptional views of the surrounding nature. Next door, on the other side of the tunnel under the railway line, is a lovely rest area with two benches and fantastic views over the Wakenitz. A must-see if you're in the area.

Singletrack Palinger Heide and Teschow Peninsula

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice, easy single trail. All the trees that had been lying over the path for years - one of them not mobile, were actually sawed open after all. Free path for free bikers!

Schwedenschanzen in Lauerholz

Highlight • Historical Site

The name "Schwedenschanze" is actually wrong. The name comes from the fact that old fortifications were simply called that in the past.
This rampart consists of up to five ramparts and was intended to protect the Lübsche area from the Mecklenburgers.

Wooden bridge over the Schwartau

Highlight • Bridge

This route from Dänischburg to Lübeck is an insider route. You can start behind the Luv Center, where you start cycling after a little refreshment. The small bridge leads over the Schwartau, which branches off from the Trave here. The place "Alt Lübeck" near the bridge is particularly historically valuable. The city was founded a little later but slightly offset here at this point because the subsoil is too wet here. If you continue on this path, you can turn right at the next turn to Bad Schwartau, or you can continue straight ahead until you arrive in the Hanseatic city. A wonderful nature trail to the city center. This route is also ideal for driving from Lübeck to Travemünde. In Siems you can then drive through the forest in the direction of Brook to Travemünde. An ideal connection if you don't want to drive next to the road but want to experience a little nature

Path Along the Railway in LSG Schwartauwiesen

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Wide and pleasant path to ride from Lübeck / Vorwerk towards Dänischburg to IKEA and the like and then on to Sereetz, Travemünde.
The path is also easy to ride with small children as it is fairly flat and wide enough. You don't need a mountain bike - a normal bike is no problem either. I would say you should be able to get through even with a racing bike (but I don't ride one!!). A bit "run up" by residents near the Teerhofinsel.

Today it was time to switch to the Pathfinder wheelset. For my test ride, I simply took a gravel loop offered on komoot and adapted it slightly.

What can I say, it was a beautiful ride, and I passed places I've probably never been before, or have been to forever 😎
