Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park, Nature park in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
The Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park is a large protected area between Hamburg and Lübeck featuring around 40 lakes and extensive forests. The landscape is hilly with many water features shaped by ancient glaciers.
The park was established in 1960 to protect the glacial landscapes of the region. The lakes and hills were created by glaciers during the last ice age.
The Old Salt Road from Lüneburg to Lübeck runs through the park, and you can still walk the paths that merchants traveled centuries ago. These routes show how trade shaped the way people lived and moved through this region.
You can enter the park from several locations, with good access points from Ratzeburg and Mölln. There are many marked trails for walking and cycling that connect the lakes and forests.
The park sits at the watershed dividing the North Sea and Baltic Sea, creating two different ecological zones. This location makes it a special place for observing contrasting plant and animal communities.
