Schellbruch Old Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On one side the Trave, on the other side the "Little Lagoon".
From the towpath the ships were pulled long ago, e.g. of animals, but also of humans. Since the Trave has been straightened, the trail leads only partially along the original route.

December 2, 2024,🇩🇪 3.Tag Roadtrip Schweden, NSG Schellbruch & Fischerdorf Gothmund

09/02/2024
In the Schellbruch nature reserve you can find everything that water has to offer: a river (the Trave), lagoons, streams, freshwater ponds, ditches, pools and occasionally flooded meadows. A true bird paradise and we also spotted wild boars at sunrise.
In the idyllic fishing village of Gothmund, time seems to stand still. Simply wonderful.

Start: Zob Lübeck / Line 12 / Luisenstrasse

Before the NSG, a warm cocoa with cream 😋 - always works in this weather.

Determined by the Trave and the reeds, you enter a varied NSG. This has a lot to offer for nature and animal lovers 🦆.

My highlight: The fishing village of Gothmund

Out and about on foot today...enjoying the beautiful side of autumn in slightly stormy weather and sunshine. At the Schellbruch the flocks of wild geese are an impressive sight at this time of year.

See something different by foot today.

Okay, the last few days I've been able to see the Baltic Sea almost every day and I can't really get away from the water after all. But does it always have to be the Baltic Sea? No, it doesn't have to. Luckily there are some nice alternatives here in the north.

September 15, 2024,NSG Schellbruch - Gothmund - Israelsdorf

A really beautiful nature reserve right next to Lübeck 🐦🪷🍁🍄🌾🦋🦆🌅 With a journey of around 100km from the north of Kiel and almost an hour and a half due to the thousands of construction sites, it's quite a journey! We thought long and hard about whether it was worth it - but it was 😎 The landscape is very beautiful …

January 23, 2025,Zwischen zwei Ökosystemen – Große Lagune Runde von Israelsdorf

A lovely, moderate walk that is entertaining even in wind and rain and probably has a very special charm at this time of year due to the solitude and sometimes bizarre, naturally created images. I could imagine that the lagoon is quite busy in summer.

May 12, 2024,Lübeck: NSG Schellbruch und Fischersiedlung Gothmund

Gothmund! Why didn't I know this gem before? Every Tuscan village is familiar, but Gothmund? Gothmund is great, beautiful, fantastic, cute, well-kept, authentic, amazing. The round trip with the Schellbruch nature reserve completes the tour. ABSOLUTE RECOMMENDATION! Only 1 hour from HH

February 10, 2023,IM REET

The starting point of our small round is the fishing village of Gothemund on the Trave not far from Lübeck. All the houses in the village are thatched and worth seeing. From Lübeck you can reach this circular route through the reed in 15 minutes by car.
