Was the most crowded place in the area during our bike tour (Pentecost Sunday, good weather), by a huge margin. Absolutely idyllic, but we moved on quickly. Other days of the week, other seasons: surely great!

Beautiful forests line the shores of Lake Küchensee. The lake is quite deep and popular for rowing – the Ratzeburg Rowing Club hosts a regatta there every year.

Circumnavigating the Schaalsee was one of the highlights of this year's hiking season. The fog enveloped the lake in an almost mystical way, giving it a very special charm.

Seedorf Castle is a great photo opportunity. It's privately owned, and therefore neither tours nor entry to the entire complex are permitted. It's a shame, but also understandable.
