Head south into Lower Saxony for two fairy tale towns brimming with half timbered architecture. Luneburg’s salt trade wealth shaped its ornate facades, while Celle’s ducal palace and old town exude romantic flair.
Expect 1 hour to Luneburg, then 45 minutes to Celle. A private driver from Hamburg ensures you experience both the salt trading city and fairy-tale castle town at your own pace.
The need to pickle and preserve large amounts of herring caught in the Baltic Sea led to a high demand for salt in the region, and thus, prosperity for Luneburg. However, as overfishing led to the decline of the town in the 16th century, virtually all new construction ceased. Coupled emerging from World War II unscathed, the town has managed to maintain its medieval character. Today, Luneburg is a lively university town rumored to boast the highest concentration of pubs in Germany. But clues to the town’s salty past can still be seen when touring the historic Am Sande square or shopping in the town center. The Alter Kran, a crane standing at the former Ilmenau docks, is one of Luneburg's most famous landmarks and speaks to the town’s legacy. Between its breweries, spas, museums, and gardens, this medieval salt town has something for everyone.
