March 19, 2022,Lauenburg an der Elbe

A quick stopover on the way north.

Lauenburg, the southernmost town in Schleswig-Holstein, is located in the border triangle of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein.
The colorful half-timbered houses are lined up directly on the banks and slopes of the Elbe. With the many lovingly renovated houses, the old town of Lauenburg is definitely worth a visit.

You can climb the tower at the castle for free until 5 p.m.
The castle, rather inconspicuous, now …
