Path Along the Elbe–Lübeck Canal

Highlight • Trail

A really beautiful route

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.

Witzeeze Lock

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful old lock system with a charming steel bridge over the canal. Here you feel as if you have been transported back to the founding years of the “Elbe-Trave-Canal”. Engineering from the age of steam and a cozy resting place to linger.

However, there are plans to deepen and widen the canal. Destroying this gem for much larger ships, destroying the attractive natural surroundings and thus killing the many shipping families of smaller canal ships as well as the tourist providers on the canal, I cannot understand. Thank you also, Mr. Federal Minister of Transport ...

June 23, 2022,Elbe Lübeck Kanal Etappe 3: Von Güster nach Lauenburg

Today my 3rd stage along the Elbe Lübeck Canal to the mouth of the Elbe.
Lauenburg/Elbe has an old town worth seeing. The view from the Elbe Bridge is also worthwhile.
