10 to Lübeck

**Corrected Text:**

My last hotel in Lauenburg was located directly on the banks of the Elbe. It was surprisingly quiet in this old, venerable house, even though the door wasn't properly closed and the insulation didn't meet today's standards either. Despite the few kilometers I had ridden, I was tired enough to sleep deeply.

Since breakfast was included in the hotel price, I had a light meal, and I can't complain. It was varied and appetizingly presented.

I have never left the e-bike's batteries uncharged overnight. Yet there was still enough power to manage the second leg to Lübeck. If necessary, you can also go without motor assistance; it’s just slower and more exhausting. By the end in Lübeck, I could have easily ridden another 30 kilometers.

The path today was very beautiful, just like the weather, which only once covered the sun with high veil clouds. Additionally, it was very warm, and only a light breeze was blowing. Often, the path ran parallel to a canal and later along the shore of the large Ratzeburger Lake. After that, I quickly reached the city limits of Lübeck. However, I still had over 10 kilometers to cover before I reached the hotel.

Along the way, Barbara recommended via WhatsApp visiting the town of Mölln; it is said to be very beautiful and is also known for Till Eulenspiegel. Unfortunately, the shopping street was mostly under construction, which is why I had to walk through. Nevertheless, the slight detour was worth it, and I also found Till. Coincidentally, there was a tour guide with a small group there. So I had the opportunity to learn something. For example, it was said that you should touch Till's raised thumb and foot. While doing this, you can make a wish, but you must not say it aloud. A participant in the group took a photo of me at that moment.

I actually know that even a small elevation can lead to a fall if approached too flatly. The effect is similar to when the bike gets caught in a rail. Luckily, I managed it just in time.

Now there is another rest day ahead of me, and the distance to my ferry is short as well. So I have enough time to explore Lübeck peacefully tomorrow.

**Translation into Spanish:**

Mi último hotel en Lauenburg estaba situado directamente a orillas del Elba. Era sorprendentemente tranquilo en esta antigua y venerable casa, aunque la puerta no estaba bien cerrada y el aislamiento tampoco cumplía con el estándar actual. A pesar de los pocos kilómetros que había recorrido, estaba lo suficientemente cansado como para dormir profundamente.

Como el desayuno estaba incluido en el precio del hotel, tomé algo ligero y no me puedo quejar. Era variado y estaba dispuesto de manera apetitosa.

Nunca había dejado de cargar las baterías de mi eBike durante la noche. Sin embargo, aún tenía suficiente energía para poder afrontar la segunda etapa hasta Lübeck. En caso de emergencia, también se puede ir sin asistencia motriz, solo que es más lento y agotador. Al final, en Lübeck, podría haber recorrido fácilmente otros 30 kilómetros.

El camino fue muy bonito hoy, al igual que el clima, que solo cubrió el sol una vez con altas nubes delgadas. Además, hacía mucho calor y solo soplaba una brisa ligera. A menudo, el camino iba paralelo a un canal y más tarde a lo largo de la orilla del gran lago Ratzeburger. Entonces, el límite de la ciudad de Lübeck llegó rápidamente. Sin embargo, hasta que llegué al hotel, aún tuve que recorrer más de 10 kilómetros.

En el camino, Barbara me recomendó por WhatsApp visitar la ciudad de Mölln; se dice que es muy bonita y es conocida por Till Eulenspiegel. Desafortunadamente, la zona comercial estaba en su mayoría en construcción, por lo que tuve que pasar a pie. A pesar de ello, el pequeño desvío valió la pena y también encontré al Till. Por casualidad, un guía turístico estaba allí con un pequeño grupo. Así tuve la oportunidad de aprender algo. Por ejemplo, se dice que uno debe tocar el pulgar levantado y el pie de Till. Mientras lo hace, puede pedir un deseo, pero no debe decirlo en voz alta. Una participante del grupo me tomó una foto en ese momento.

En realidad, sé que incluso un pequeño aumento puede provocar una caída si se aborda de manera demasiado plana. El efecto es similar a cuando la bicicleta se queda atrapada en un riel. Por suerte, lo logré.

Ahora ya tengo otro día de descanso por delante, y la distancia hasta mi ferry es corta. Así que tendré tiempo suficiente para visitar Lübeck tranquilamente mañana.

My last hotel in Lauenburg was located right by the Elbe River. It was surprisingly quiet in this old, venerable house, even though the door wasn't securely closed and the insulation didn't meet today's standards. Despite the few kilometers I had traveled, I was tired enough to sleep soundly.

Since breakfast was included in the hotel price, I had a light meal, and I cannot complain. It was varied and nicely presented.

I have never gone without charging the eBike batteries overnight. However, there was still enough power left to tackle the second leg to Lübeck. In an emergency, it is also possible to go without motor assistance, though it is simply slower and more tiring. In the end, in Lübeck, I could have easily ridden another 30 kilometers.
