The pretty hiking trail mostly leads directly along the lake... benches invite you to linger along the way.

It lies picturesquely before us, the 180 hectare Küchensee near Ratzeburg. A fantastically beautiful circular hiking trail leads around the lake for around 8 kilometers. Along the way, there are magical rest areas with a view of the water, some on footbridges that extend into the lake. The Küchensee hike is a wonderful tour for the whole family. The sights include the Farchauer Mill in the south of the Großer Küchensee and of course the old town of Ratzeburg on the Dominsel, which can be reached via the narrow-gauge railway embankment. There are several bathing spots along the way. The shady forest sections on this hike also offer cooling off on hot days.
