From the cathedral and island town of Ratzeburg, you set off on a 40-kilometre circular tour through the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park. Numerous lake views await you. You will enjoy the first special view in Bäk: Your eye wanders over the Domsee to the picturesque Ratzeburg Cathedral peninsula. The observation tower at Mechower See invites you to watch the water birds. Even the white-tailed eagle can be spotted here with a bit of luck.
