There's also a tower you can climb (16 stairs per flight x 18 flights only 288 steps up but this unfit persons lungs felt it haha I have some work to do when I get home). Amazing scenery of the country side and views of Hamburg Bridge and Port.Read more

Day 6
Lüneburg
July 11, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Lüneburg has a beautiful medieval feel to it, lots of red brick buildings.
Lüneburg was know for the underground salt and the saltworks export for over 1000 years.

Day of shopping, checked out the Gothic style Basilica of St Nicolai, which was built between 1407 and 1440, which is the smallest of three in Lüneburg but impressive none the least.

Also passed the oldest Brewery in Lüneburg built in 1517.

Then a relaxing lunch by the river and of course checked out the supermarket and as an Aussie does.... be amazed by the amount of alcohol you can pick up whilst getting your bread and milk.Read more
Traveler I just wish we could do this.

Day 8
Buxtehude
July 13, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Buxtehude is on the Este River in Northern Germany, belonging to the district of Stade in Lower Saxony.

In 1945 the population grew to 14,000. Hamburg was in ruins from being bombed during the war and people fled to the suburbs and surrounding towns and villages one being Buxtehude. In 1958 Buxtehude became part of the plan for the reconstruction of Hamburg after the war and heavily funded by the government.

Again this town is very much like Lüneburg with the red brick and Gothis style. The pictures are from the 'old town'.Read more
Traveler Great photos!

Day 8
Buxtehude
July 13, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Buxtehude is sometimes called the "Fairytale Capital of the World," The tale of "The Hare and the Hedgehog" by the Brothers Grimm is set in this town. They have adopted the theme which is fun and intriguing finding all the Hare and Hedgehog motifs/statues.

This city also had Witch trials between 1540 and 1644. If you zoom in on the plaque their names are listed.Read more

Day 12
Hamburg. Day 1
July 17, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, resides between the River Alster and the River Elbe. Germany is connected to the North Sea by the Elbe River. It's crossed by hundreds of canals, and also contains large areas of parkland.

Hamburg's rivers and canals are crossed by around 2,500 bridges, making it the city with the highest number of bridges in Europe.

The name Hamburg comes from the first permanent building on the site, a castle which the Emperor Charlemagne ordered constructed in AD 808. The original name Hammaburg, burg meaning castle or fort. The origin of the Hamma term remains uncertain.

We saw the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (views were amazing), the Port of Hamburg, Speicherstadt, Alter Elbtunnel, St Paulie Piers, St Nikolai Church ( just from the outside - we've seen a lot of churches), Cap San Diago, Pont De Köhlbrand....

It was a big day through bouts of wind and rain, kinda reminded me of the first time I was here haha not quite as cold though 😅Read more
