The Wakenitz hiking path has been restored.
The Wakenitz floodplain, one of the most impressive river landscapes in Schleswig-Holstein, offers a valuable habitat for numerous animal and plant species. This region, stretching from the Ratzeburger See to Lübeck, is home to rare amphibians, water birds, and otters.
The hiking trail along the Wakenitz, located in this region, is now open once more. After necessary tree maintenance work, visitors can once again explore the primeval-like alder thickets, moors, meadows, and dry grasslands that characterise the floodplain.
For those planning a visit, it's essential to adhere to the rules designed to protect the sensitive ecosystem. Visitors are asked to stay on marked trails, avoid disturbing vegetation and wildlife habitats, not pick plants or remove natural objects, keep noise levels low, not feed or approach wildlife, carry out all litter and waste, and ensure dogs, if allowed, are leashed to prevent disturbance to fauna. Open fires and camping are generally prohibited except in designated areas.
To find the trail, you can use the address: Lübeck. A map of the location can be found on Google Maps. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the hiking trail rules and guidelines for plant and animal protection, it is recommended to consult the official website of the local environmental authority in Schleswig-Holstein or the Lübeck city administration.
Remember, the Wakenitz floodplain is a unique and delicate ecosystem. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure the protection of its flora and fauna, making your visit more enjoyable and contributing to the preservation of this natural wonder.
