St. John's Church, Siebeneichen

Highlight • Religious Site

An Eberhardt von Seueneken was already mentioned in 1211. The village itself was first mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register from 1230. At that time the first church was built, which was demolished in 1749 as dilapidated. The patron Johann Hartwig Ernst von Bernstorff, owner of Gut Wotersen, had a new church built in 1753, in which he was buried in 1772.

With the construction of the Stecknitz-Delvenau Canal, the “wet salt road” between Lüneburg and Lübeck, which was completed in 1398, Siebeneichen became the point of contact for the Stecknitz drivers. There is still a seating reserved for this boatmen's guild in the Siebeneichen church.

The origin of the place name is not clearly proven, it could have its origin from the oaks in the old village square in front of the church, because there used to be exactly seven oaks, but it is also possible that the name comes from seven farming positions.

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 Old Crane (Alter Kran) in Lüneburg

Highlight • Monument

The old crane dates back to the 14th century, it was used to lift goods and also the Lüneburg salt works. In its prime, the crane even managed to lift a steam locomotive. Today the crane is a landmark of Lüneburg and adorns the water district. You can stop here and enjoy the view of the harbor.

Stintmarkt in the historic water district, Lüneburg

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Historic Old Town Lüneburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The old town is full of historic half-timbered houses with beautiful carvings, especially the Ratsapotheke on the water tower makes something and offers great views. The Abtsmühle and the Alte Kran an der Ilmenau are also worth a look.

View of Lauenburg Old Town

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, enjoy a magnificent view across the Elbe to the idyllic old town of Lauenburg.
Colorful half-timbered houses, historic steamships, and wonderful panoramic views
over the Elbe await you in the shipping town of Lauenburg/Elbe.
Schleswig-Holstein's southernmost town lies in the border triangle of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein.
Located directly on the banks and slopes of the Elbe, historic half-timbered houses line Elbstraße. With its many lovingly restored buildings, the old town of Lauenburg is the largest ensemble of historical monuments in all of Schleswig-Holstein.
A tour of the old cobblestones of the shipping town brings history to life. Numerous small alleys and staircases connect the old town with the upper town.
The castle there, with its castle tower and Prince's Garden, recalls the time
of the Ascanian dukes.
The Elbe River has shaped the town's history. And shipping itself can still be experienced in Lauenburg. Modern passenger ships and historic steamships
invite you to take tours on the Elbe, the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, or the Elbe Lateral Canal.

Near the waterways, the long-distance cycle routes "Elberadweg," "Alte Salzstraße," "Hamburg-Rügen," and the "Iron Curtain Trail" intersect in Lauenburg, offering a wonderful opportunity to explore the surrounding area by bike.
