take the leap

and dive in

Water fun

from bathing spots to sailing schools

In the Duchy of Lauenburg, water shapes the landscape. The Elbe in the south, the more than 100-year-old Elbe-Lübeck Canal between Lauenburg and Lübeck as well as over 40 lakes invite visitors to enjoy sports and relaxation in, on and by the water.

Paddle by canoe from Lake Schaalsee across the Lauenburg Lakes and the Wakenitz all the way to Lübeck. Let the wind carry a sailing boat across Lake Ratzeburg. Pedal a pedal boat on the lakes of Mölln. Swim in the clear waters of one of the many lakes. Or cruise by motorboat along the Elbe and the Elbe-Lübeck Canal past towns worth seeing.
