Right next to the Holstentor, this row of houses from the years 1579-1745, which served as a salt store. The salt came from the Lüneburg area and waited for shipment to Scandinavia.

A beautiful market square that, when there are no market stalls, gives you a full view of the beautiful old town hall, especially from a distance. Very impressive. I really like Lübeck. I will definitely come back. There is still so much to discover here. 😃

The market, located in the middle of Lübeck's old town and "at the feet" of the town hall, is the first place in the Hanseatic city. Excavations in the late 1990s revealed seven layers from different periods, indicating that the market was in continuous use. Roman ceramics were also found hidden in shafts. It is believed that these could be offerings from prehistoric times.

The Ratzeburger See is a very beautiful and large lake. There are paths around the lake that can be used on foot or by bike. However, the path on the east side of the lake is more for experienced cyclists, as there are some fairly steep inclines here and the subsoil is also quite uneven in places. In addition, from the path on the east side you only have a view of the lake in very few places, most of the time it goes through the forest. Nevertheless, the landscape is very beautiful here. The path on the west side of the lake, on the other hand, is very easy to cycle because it is mostly flat. There are a few inclines on this side near Ratzeburg, but they are relatively easy to cycle, at least significantly better than on the other side of the lake. You can also see the lake much more often on the western side than on the eastern side of the lake. There are some jetties and beautiful beach areas.

A lake that is worthwhile in every respect: You can swim in many places, mostly free of charge, and then tours along the shore are very varied and always in the most beautiful surroundings. The joint use of the Uferweg by cyclists and pedestrians works very well in 99 percent thanks to consideration.

It stretches for almost ten kilometers from the island town of Ratzeburg to its northern shore in Rothenhusen. And it is precisely this expanse that makes the Ratzeburger See so special. Especially for passionate sailors. Together with the Domsee, it forms one of the most beautiful inland sailing areas. And so, the white sails are simply part of the scenery. Just like the sleek yellow rowing boats of the Rowing Academy, which circle the island town and already dream of the next Olympic medal. Of course, the Ratzeburger See is also the place to be for all water fans, young and old: Beautiful bathing spots invite you to jump into the cool water. Water bikes, pedal boats, or electric boats await leisure captains. "Heinrich der Löwe" transports its guests in a very relaxed manner: The excursion boat invites you on a short cruise. And those who wish can continue their journey via the Wakenitz to Lübeck. In the online voting on the platform seen.de, the Ratzeburger See ranked üb

Right next to the Holsten Gate is this row of houses from the years 1579-1745, which served as salt storage. Surprisingly well preserved, they lean crookedly against each other. A most photographed motif, defining the cityscape of Lübeck.
