Behind Ratzeburg Town Hall, opposite the Fischerstube, is this beautiful viewpoint with plenty of seating.

These are the remains of the northwest bastion at the "Barlach View" built by Duke Georg-Wilhelm of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

We have a long lunch break, which I use to walk around the cathedral island.

Directly behind the cathedral there is no path directly along the water...there are sailing schools and private properties here, but the rest of the way around is possible.

I've been wanting to do this tour through Ratzeburg for a long time. If you look behind the scenes, you'll discover little gems: the cathedral district, the half-timbered houses, and the view of the water all around. A wonderful tour, where an ice cream from the Pelz Ice Cream Pavilion is a must.
