Lauenburg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The lower town of the old shipping town of Lauenburg is worth a trip. The lower town is at risk from every powerful Elbe flood. The water levels are marked at one point. The last floods were a disaster for every owner. People who had recently renovated had to start all over again.
The lower town is home to many artisans and many restaurants. There is a lot to discover.

It's also worth taking a long walk along the Elbe to the former match factory (now a youth hostel), the winter pictures come from there (05.02.2012). The way back takes you through the old town or vice versa. If you dare, go from the lower town up to the castle. You will be rewarded with a wonderful view at the top.

Lauenburg is the home port of the steam-powered paddle steamer Kaiser-Wilhelm.

The best view of Lauenburg is from Hohnstorf.

View of Lauenburg's Old Town from the Elbe Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Lauenburg Elbe Bridge you have a beautiful view of the Elbe, Artlenburg and the Lauenburg skyline. A wonderful photo opportunity - especially in the evening or at night when the lights of the city are reflected in the Elbe.

View of the Elbe from Boizenburger Balcony

Highlight • Viewpoint

A nice place to rest, after climbing the Elbberg, with a magnificent view. There must also be a lookout tower, if one drives the Stichstrasse "Am Elbberg" to the end. The highlight "Blick auf den Elbe" describes this. The view is probably even better.

Elbe Ferry Bleckede–Neu Bleckede

Highlight • Rest Area

With the Elbe ferry Bleckede you can get quickly and cheaply across the Elbe (person € 1.00, bicycle € 0.50). All other Elbe ferries known to me (these are all ferries between Lauenburg and Wittenberge) are significantly more expensive (the ferry at Hitzacker costs the most: € 1.50 per person and € 1.30 per bike). The employees on the Elbe ferry Bleckede are always very nice when I e.g. Once I took the ferry from Bleckede to Neu Bleckede and had to go back to Bleckede shortly afterwards (to buy repair kit), the ferryman took me along free of charge (on the grounds that I was already unlucky enough today). I like to use this ferry again and again.

It was warm, but beautiful—I really enjoyed both Bleckede and Boizenburg. There was also a bit of a challenge for my fear of heights—the descent was tricky ;) and the rather steep climbs toward the end were nice, too ;)

Evening atmosphere on the Elbe, crossing by ferry. Unfortunately, the lookout point with the beautiful view of the Elbe valley in Vier (Boizenburg) is currently not usable. There is a risk that the slope will slide (see photo).

If we are on the Elbe for a few days, we want to celebrate the day of German unity with dignity. It is really not made easy for the planner. All relevant event calendars in the area do not refer to this holiday, it is too far to Halle / Saale ... but there are only official things and a …

May 18, 2025,Lauenburg-Boizenburg-Bleckede

A relaxed tour along good bike paths, slowed down by the pleasant ferry ride from Neu-Bleckede to Bleckede with an all-female crew (respect, I've never seen that anywhere else). The Bleckede Brewery is very quaint, but with a kitchen break from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., something to be aware of if you're hungry after Boizenburg.
