Stadt Ratzeburg is a city surrounded by four lakes resulting in an isthmus between the lakes which forms the access lanes to the town. Today, Ratzenburg is a popular tourist destination especially for all kinds of water sports. I must say, a perfect destination for a Sunday drive also.

An old pub.

Always window shopping. No other option.
