Unfortunately, the facility has aged a bit and the exhibition is no longer didactically modern. Some exhibits are defective, pictures are faded, and the aquarium panes are mossy. A barrier made of construction fence elements has been standing at the tower for more than 2 years. The content is interesting, but more could be made of it.

The "Lanzer See" campsite is located north of Lauenburg near Basedow and, in addition to Lake Lanzer See, also has access to the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. The "basic pitches" have views of the water 💦 and passing boats 🚤, offering direct access for walks or simply enjoying the evening sunset. 🌅 The restrooms are extremely clean and the staff is very friendly. The campsite is a manageable size, but the central part is populated by too many permanent campers who—if you're lucky—are not there. ☺️

Very nice, because you can't see the Elbe for long stretches in Lower Saxony.

What justifies this as a “highlight”?

The trail has some climbs and descents. The slabs have holes in them, making it quite bumpy, but the trail is quite easy to ride.

Documents prove that this charming half-timbered house with its carvings was built in 1573. Currently, the house houses an ice cream parlor, which invites you to linger simply because of its ambiance.
