A lovely path along the canal... You can often spot waterfowl... the only downside: the path offers little shade.

The Elbe-Lübeck Canal is worth a trip in itself. I recommend taking a trip from Neu Lankau or Berkenthin to Lübeck.

The canal route is a dream destination in good weather and is worth exploring in any season. Passing picturesque little towns and villages like Lübeck, Mölln, and Siebeneichen, all the way to Lauenburg, you'll experience a magnificent landscape!
