Of course, there's no such thing as just one view of the lake! Given its length, there are numerous vantage points overlooking the water that invite you to linger.

Today I went hiking with my second family again.

We went hiking around Lake Ratzeburg in a beautiful (quite hilly) area at a pleasant 17 degrees, and we had to have ice cream at the end 😅🤣 sorry, there was no photo, I inhaled it all so quickly.

All the Kili buddies were in Hamburg again and the weather finally took pity on us. Instead of constant grey, there was plenty of sun and blue as far as the eye could see, so the three of us just had to go.
