The old town is full of historic half-timbered houses with beautiful carvings, especially the Ratsapotheke on the water tower makes something and offers great views. The Abtsmühle and the Alte Kran an der Ilmenau are also worth a look.

July 28, 2026,Lüneburg: Runde durch die historische Altstadt

Today I did an extensive tour through the medieval town with its many Gothic brick gabled houses.
I liked Lüneburg extremely well. I like these narrow alleys, the cobblestone pavement (my feet don't like it) and the always great views of the historic brick buildings.

Marlies had wanted to take a leisurely stroll through Lüneburg for a long time. The city, which is well worth seeing, is only a 45-minute drive from Schwarzenbek and is very easy for us to reach. The sun is shining, the big rain area only comes in the evening - so let's get going.
The large, free "Sülzwiesen" car park …

A stroll through the old town through Lüneburg is simply worthwhile, at least if you have enough time to stop in front of what feels like every second house to look at it in peace - there are many really old and really richly decorated houses. However, the storm front made for a quick step back to the accommodation.
