Discover Grambek

Grambek lies east of the Elbe-Lübeck Canal in a wooded, hilly landscape and within the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park. Local nature attractions, a cycling route from Mölln and fish farming provide specific points of reference when choosing a destination. If you are looking for a hotel in Grambek, these interests can help you decide whether the town fits your travel plans.

Canal, Forest and Nature Watching

The Elbe-Lübeck Canal next to Grambek is considered a recreational waterway for anglers and watersports enthusiasts. The surrounding landscape is also wooded and hilly. This brings together water-based recreation and a forest-dominated landscape; the amphibian information centre adds a specific topic to the nature experience.

The amphibian information centre is connected to a short circular walking trail. It documents a nationally significant amphibian population associated with the municipality’s diverse landscapes and bodies of water. The centre and trail bring this subject together at a specific location. The animals’ visibility varies depending on the season, so the nature experience is not limited to the possibility of spotting them: information about their habitat and amphibians is part of it too.

Cycling Around Grambek

A regional cycling route reaches Grambek from Mölln via a cycle path running alongside the road. The route is mostly flat but includes gentle climbs, and is only partly suitable for road bikes. The route description therefore offers several specific points of reference: the starting point in Mölln, the roadside route and the elevation profile. If you are cycling on a road bike, take its limited suitability into account when planning. Also check current surface conditions before setting out, as they may change.

Fish Farming and Farm Shop

Grambek’s fish farm manages 44 ponds organically and raises native food fish in them. In the town centre, the Fischer ut Grambek farm shop sells fresh and smoked fish. The ponds and farm shop represent two sides of the local fish industry: raising fish and selling them in the village. If you are planning a specific visit to the farm shop, check the current selection and organic certification status beforehand.

The Wider Destination of the Duchy of Lauenburg

Looking at the wider destination of the Duchy of Lauenburg, the landscape opens up: 26 per cent of the district is forest, and it includes 48 lakes. The district is also home to the Sachsenwald, Schleswig-Holstein’s largest contiguous forest. The Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park lies in the heart of the duchy. Its area, around 35 by 17 kilometres, provides a habitat for kingfishers, white-tailed eagles and cranes, among other species.

The nature park offers walking trails, observation towers, nature trails and places to rest. Activities there include hiking, cycling, canoeing and swimming in forest lakes; there are also four signposted cycling tours. Guided excursions with experts focus on the district’s wildlife, plant life and cultural history. If you are planning to join one, check the dates in advance.
