April 17, 2026, Historic Half-Timbered Houses of Lauenburg Old Town

A walk through the old town is worthwhile. You can see many beautiful half-timbered houses. There are information boards about the buildings hanging on the structures. The path directly on the Elbe riverbank is also beautiful.

The "Hohes Elbufer" (W30) hiking trail also runs along this spot, which I highly recommend. All information about the hiking trail can be found at the following link: https://wanderjugend.de/deutsche-wanderjugend/jugendwanderwege/die-jugendwanderwege/norddeutschland/hohes-elbufer (as of May 19, 2025).

Documents prove that this charming half-timbered house with its carvings was built in 1573. Currently, the house houses an ice cream parlor, which invites you to linger simply because of its ambiance.

Located directly on the banks and slopes of the Elbe River, historic half-timbered houses line Elbstraße. With its many lovingly restored buildings, Lauenburg's Old Town is the largest historic monument ensemble in all of Schleswig-Holstein. A stroll along the old cobblestone streets of this maritime town brings history to life. Numerous narrow alleys and stairways connect the Old Town with the Upper Town. The castle, with its castle tower and Prince's Garden, is a reminder of the era of the Ascanian dukes. Source: https://www.lauenburg.de/tourismus/
