The pretty, old salt town of Lüneburg is always worth a visit. There are many highlights and many beautiful old houses to see there, especially in the old town, as well as on the Sande or in the Lüneburg water district from the Ilmenau (Stintmarkt, Alter Kran and much more).

I added some photos to this highlight. There are two natural viewpoints in Lüneburg. The Kalkberg, where the castle used to be. The best view is in winter, when the trees clear the view. Furthermore, the one on the Kreideberg: Here you have a wonderful view over the small lake to the city.

Lüneburg has different quarters with their own character. The Bardowick Wall, the spa gardens and many small parks are also worthwhile.

Lüneburg lies on the lower reaches of the Ilmenau, about 30 km before its confluence with the Elbe. To the south extends the Lüneburg Heath, an area of about 7400 km², which was created by the impact of large amounts of wood, forest fires and grazing. The frequently cited statement that heathland was created by logging for the operation of the Saline Lüneburg, is historically not secured. More likely is the beginning of human influence in the Bronze Age. The Lüneburg old town is also located above a salt dome, which established the wealth of the city and whose cap made of gypsum, the lime mountain, at the same time an excellent site for the refuge, which gave Lüneburg its name.
