A towboat is a historical means of transport pulled along a river by people or animals. In Lüneburg, there is an old towpath along the Ilmenau River that commemorates this tradition. This path was once used to pull ships upstream before motorized vessels took over.

Hiking

The two boats and the crane give the Ilmenau a worthy setting.
