Former Inner German Border Path

Highlight • Trail

If I read that correctly, the border ran a little further back, where nature is allowed to take its course. The old border path entrance is from the B195, from there the path leads over concrete, similar to grass pavers.

I can not recommend almost only country road without a bike path or bad, silted forest paths. You only saw the lake briefly in two places.

Start and finish: Zarrentin, car park, Wittenburger Chaussee, from here on the new cycle path next to the road (separated from the road by trees and bushes)
to Dutzow.
Continue on side roads with hardly any traffic, past Kittlitz to Groß Zecher.
After leaving the road, continue

Another tick on the list for circumnavigating the lake, and water always promises a little breeze.
Unfortunately, most of the time the official cycle path leads further away from the lake through beautiful nature.
But there wasn't much going on and we were able to cycle up and down the hills in peace. And even the sometimes threatening dark storm …

Today we went around a lake again, the neighboring Schaalsee. Even though a large part of the route did not run along the water, there were still occasional points of contact and/or visual contact.
It was easy to ride on the bike paths or roads with little traffic. Completely in contrast to the first section, when we probably ended up …

The tour, which was actually supposed to take place during vacation in spring, was done as a day trip. The harvest festival in Lassahn was a nice surprise, the whole place was beautifully decorated, there was something to see in every garden, be it old agricultural implements, lots of pumpkins and flower decorations. Unfortunately, the tour often took place on …

Nice tour around the lake, partly on forest paths, bike paths or side roads. In Lassahn there is a nice café / restaurant next to the church with a view of the lake and nice seats. Delicious tarte flambée 😋
