traffic

The former federal highway 207 Alte Salzstrasse still runs through the town and crosses the federal highway 20 (junction Groß Sarau) at the northern municipal boundary . At Rothenhusen the only bridge between Lübeck and Ratzeburg led over the Wakenitz to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It was demolished in 2008 and replaced by a new building in 2009.

At the end of 2006, considerations were voiced for the first time to rebuild the further bridge over the Wakenitz near Nädlershorst to better develop the hiking trails between the Mecklenburg neighboring community of Lüdersdorf with the northern edge of the Schaalsee biosphere reserve and the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park . This had existed from the 1930s until the establishment of the inner-German border and was finally demolished in 1975. However, it was still recognizable with the former ramps and bridge bearings and was still accessible from the original network of paths. The bridge was built with funds from the Hamburg Metropolitan Region . The sculpture Overcoming Borders on the west side of the Wakenitz is a work by the sculptor Claus Görtz, who is based in Schattin on the east side . It was created using the barriers that were there until 2008 and secured the orphaned ramps of the previous bridge. From Lübeck to Rothenhusen, the Drägerweg runs as a hiking trail along the meadow landscape of the Wakenitz lowland.

leisure

The weekend settlement Schanzenberg is the sailing center on Ratzeburg Lake. The Schanzenberg sailing center houses the summer bases of the three Lübeck sailing clubs , the Lübeck Sailing Club , the Sailing Club Hansa and the Sailing Club Wakenitz . The bathing area of ​​the community on the Großer Ratzeburger See is monitored by the DLRG in the summer months .
