The Drägerweg is a hiking trail between Lübeck and Rothenhusen that has been in operation since 2007.

The path runs approximately parallel to the Wakenitz, but has little contact with the river in the southern part. The path length between the Moltkebrücke boat landing stages in Lübeck and Rothenhusen on Lake Ratzeburg is around 18 km. The waterway, used by Wakenitz shipping, is around 14 km long.

Very nice river and great way along the Wakenitz. There are many animal species to see.

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.

Dear followers and other viewers 🤗
If you want to follow this tour, please find another parking space 🅿️. It's easy to park in front of the allotment garden association at Bertramshof, but the path to Wakenitz is blocked by a locked gate. We were very lucky 🍀 that we got to talk to the 👨🏻‍🌾 club chairman in the …

After my bike tour, I got a call and was convinced to join another hike around the Wakenitz. Sorry for all the "sun pictures", but I just found them soooo beautiful 😁 The deer unfortunately only showed itself from behind🤷‍♀️ On the way back, we ate a 😋ice cream in Bad Schwartau and I quickly took the 2 photos "before". …

A long-awaited wish has come true today: "White Christmas!"
In the Wakenitz nature reserve there was still snow today
However, the rain in the previous days has mostly turned the paths along the Wakenitz into an icy mogul slope🏔. Plus the really icy temperatures🥶…. that was hard core! 🧣🥾
It's good that we were able to "bend" our warming guardian …

Unfortunately, you have to walk a bit along the road in two places.
