    Hiking

    The Stintmarkt is located in the historic water district of Lüneburg. As the name suggests, the fish species "smelt" used to be traded here, a small, herring-like fish that was very popular in the Middle Ages.

    Similar to salmon, smelts swim into the rivers in late February to spawn in the sandy bottom. They were caught and traded at the smelt market.

    Today, Lüneburg's most famous bar and restaurant mile is located on the Stintmarkt. The medieval houses, all of which are very well preserved, offer a fantastic and much-used photo backdrop.

    Hiking

    There are many pubs, some with outdoor seating and a lovely view of the Ilmenau. Opposite, on the other side of the river, you can see the historic Old Crane. The first crane was there in the first half of the 14th century. The current one dates from the late 18th century.

    The "Water Quarter" is the historical heart of the modern salt city.

    Located directly on the Ilmenau River, it was a vibrant center of economic life for centuries. After trade shifted to land routes, the commercial district declined in importance, but not in charm.

    Today, with its unique downtown location and diverse range of restaurants and shops, the "Water Quarter" is an attractive destination for Lüneburg residents and visitors alike.
