Of course, there's no such thing as just one view of the lake! Given its length, there are numerous vantage points overlooking the water that invite you to linger.

Today I went hiking with my second family again.

We went hiking around Lake Ratzeburg in a beautiful (quite hilly) area at a pleasant 17 degrees, and we had to have ice cream at the end 😅🤣 sorry, there was no photo, I inhaled it all so quickly.

Brief summary of a long trail: The loop is varied and in fantastic weather, we enjoyed the many different perspectives of the lake. What we didn't know beforehand, the ambitious over 1000 participants of the Nordmarsch had chosen the same day and came streaming towards us, the study of outfits, running styles, and greeting formulas could begin.

So today it was Lake Ratzeburg's turn! It was chilly in the morning, but it got nicer and sunnier as the day progressed! There are beautiful views on the west side of the lake, and we continue on along great forest paths with very little asphalt! We took a small detour via Ratzeburg Cathedral to stop at the Bischofsherberge Cafe. …

All the Kili buddies were in Hamburg again and the weather finally took pity on us. Instead of constant grey, there was plenty of sun and blue as far as the eye could see, so the three of us just had to go.
