Lauenburg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Lauenburg is a great destination on every bike tour. There are accommodations from the youth hostel over private rooms to the hotel - for every taste and budget. Above all, Lauenburg is a really picturesque place. Alone the old town on the banks of the Elbe with their leaning half-timbered houses is unique. An adventure is a ride on the last remaining coal-powered paddle steamer over the Elbe. There is also a lot to discover in the city.

Lauenburg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The lower town of the old shipping town of Lauenburg is worth a trip. The lower town is at risk from every powerful Elbe flood. The water levels are marked at one point. The last floods were a disaster for every owner. People who had recently renovated had to start all over again.
The lower town is home to many artisans and many restaurants. There is a lot to discover.

It's also worth taking a long walk along the Elbe to the former match factory (now a youth hostel), the winter pictures come from there (05.02.2012). The way back takes you through the old town or vice versa. If you dare, go from the lower town up to the castle. You will be rewarded with a wonderful view at the top.

Lauenburg is the home port of the steam-powered paddle steamer Kaiser-Wilhelm.

The best view of Lauenburg is from Hohnstorf.

High Elbe Bank Forest Trail (between Tesperhude and Lauenburg)

Highlight • Trail

A great forest trail with views of the Elbe River. Partly gravel, with a few elevation gains. A delight on a touring or mountain bike.

Lanzer Lake

Highlight • Lake

Good route along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal with beautiful views of Lake Lanzer. Lake Lanzer is not far from Basedow in the south of Schleswig-Holstein. At kilometer 55 it is connected to the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, which runs past it to the west.

The name of the lake goes back to the municipality of Lanze near Basedow. It was created in the course of gravel mining (quarry pond) and is privately owned. There is a campsite on the lake shore. The small island in the lake may not be entered for nature conservation reasons. Unfortunately, the island is not listed in the Komoot map, but in Google Maps.
