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.

The Elbe ferry Bleckede takes you to the other side of the river for a mere 1 euro per person and 50 cents per bike. The ferry runs at regular intervals throughout the day. You can find the exact times at: bleckede.de/home/verkehr-umwelt/verkehr/elbfaehre.aspx
