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.

Yes, the path is beautiful! I also cycle the route on a road bike. So it is basically possible. You have to pay attention to the surface, and also to oncoming traffic - it is the Elbe cycle path after all. There are erosion valleys leading to the water that you have to cross, so even short stretches are steeply uphill. For someone who wants to get ahead quickly, I recommend the cycle path on the B5. Anyone with a bit of stamina who wants to cycle along a beautiful forest path above the Elbe will like the route.

View of Stover Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Also in the summer of 2021 there will be the great event "The Elbe is on fire" in August (13th?), Fire brigade and DLRG light up the river at night. Wonderful to watch from both sides of the Elbe, don't forget a picnic and blankets, the humidity makes the evenings cool. The campsite in Stove is ideal for overnight stays.

Highlight • Bridge

Whether bikers, cyclists, hikers or drivers, everyone will find something to suit their taste here. Watching the hustle and bustle or lazing around in the beer garden, currywurst fries from the stall or talking about petrol. Everything is possible.

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.

September 24, 2023,Elbetour Hoopte - Lauenburg
Start with the ferry to Zollenspieker, then always on the Elbe cycle path towards Lauenburg. Some steep climbs behind Geesthacht through the “Hohes Elbufer” area😬, but a beautiful forest. Relaxed way back on the southern, more beautiful side, towards Hoopte.

Good weather 27-30 degrees, little wind. I started at Lauenburg train station. Over the high bank of the Elbe then past Krümmel to Zollenspieker. Here with the ferry across the Elbe to Hoopte. Quickly bought fish rolls for the break and headed back towards Lauenburg.

Today again a top tour to Lauenburg. It started from Pattensen via Hoopteöp and then with the Elbe ferry to Zollenspieker. From there on the Elbradweg to Geesthacht and there to the reservoir for the pumped power station. At the lake there is a 20m high observation tower. From the tower you have a perfect view of the reservoir and …
