I have asked a number of colleagues for their opinions on this. All the more important to include them. We open our little list with tip no. We start our little list with tip number 1, which takes us to the Malerwinkel. The river Trave flows leisurely by here. Take a rest on one of the benches or on the green embankment and enjoy the unobstructed view of the old town with its narrow backyards and residential alleyways with their tiny houses. The opposite side of the river also has its romantic charm: laundry flutters in the wind and people chat outside the doors.
The further you stroll towards the Cathedral , the quieter it gets around you. To get there you have to leave the Old Town. Here you can promenade with pleasure from April 1 to October Each season the School Garden welcomes you in a different floral dress The area is compact and manageable, but at certain times of the day you will discover hidden corners that belong to you and your darling alone.
Our tip number 3 takes you out on the water. For a more athletic alternative, you can take a tour of the Old Town in a rowing boat. If you feel like spending more romantic time on the boat, we recommend you for your round the Wakenitz. It is the natural outlet of the Ratzeburger Lake. Motor boats are not allowed to travel here. There are many places where you can glide along quietly and get close to nature: you might spot a corncrake or a red kite.
We stay with the Wakenitz for our tip number 4. In my little team research, the river was the most frequently mentioned. Here people like to cycle, jog and promenade. In summer you can also swim in many places in the Wakenitz.
Here the Wakenitz flows in its wide riverbed and has a dense stand of trees on both sides. At any time of the day, a stroll through at least one or two of the residential corridors will open up surprising perspectives.
