Planning the Ratzeburg-Radler-Runde (RRR)
This huge, day-long or multi-stage circuit is a significant test of endurance, linking the great Hanseatic city of Hamburg with the tranquil lake district of Schleswig-Holstein. The route is exceptionally long and requires sustained effort to cover the distance between the Barmbek district and the picturesque island town of Ratzeburg. Ratzeburg, famous for its Romanesque brick cathedral, is nestled in Lake Ratzeburg and provides a breathtaking centrepiece to the tour. The route is mostly on smooth tarmac and firm, non-technical gravel paths, often leading through the extensive Sachsenwald forest.
