Good for a quick bite to eat and drink. Enjoy nature, go swimming, or just relax. The kiosk is open. Camping spots are also available. Some have electric hookups.✌️✌️

If you want to pass Lüneburg, you should drive on the east side, otherwise the harbor will block your way.

Ratsapotheke At the corner of Lüneburger Straße / Krummer Arm, at the end of the pedestrian zone, stands perhaps the most beautiful house in Bad Bevensen: the Ratsapotheke. It was built by a doctor in 1798 and became the town's first pharmacy in 1817. In 1984, the house was renovated and the half-timbered facade was turned into a gem in the old town. The building still houses a pharmacy today. Also special are several vines over a hundred years old that climb up the facade.

Today the small Christmas market took place in front of the church. A small idyll.
