The Old Salt Road left Lüneburg via today's Lüner Straße and the Neubrücker Tor and went via the Stintfang, the old fish market at the Ilmenau harbor.
It led over the river and the Werder past the Lüne monastery to Adendorf and Brietlingen, where it left the Lüneburg Landwehr.
It extended via Lüdershausen and a ferry over the Neetze to Artlenburg,
where it crossed the Elbe via a ford and a ferry.
The Elbe crossing of the Old Salt Road from Artlenburg to Schnakenbek was secured in the
11th and 12th centuries by the Ertheneburg, which was set on fire in 1181 by Henry the Lion while fleeing from Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. For a long time there was only a customs station at the crossing, today there is no longer an Elbe crossing here,
but you have the very best views of the Elbe from here.

Very easy to see where the Elbe used to be. Today a nice place to be right on the water.

The ferry stopped operating in 1964, but the moorings on both sides are still in astonishingly good condition. You can take a break here, check the passing boats and ships and go fishing here, of course.
