Lüneburg (Lunenburg in English) is a town some 50km south-east of Hamburg. It was also member Hanseatic League and has the “Hansestadt” (Hanseatic Town) in its name.

We start this winter walk around Christmas at the train station east of the centre. It takes us a just a few minutes to get to the town across the Ilmenau. There in Old Lüneburg we see the old crane in the river harbor. We make a round this part with some christmas market stalls and apartment houses before we get further into the medieval old town.

There in Lüneburg several Gothic-style buildings can be seen. The market square with the city hall is busy with a christmas market that is just opening up now around noon.

We stroll around the streets, visit St. John’s Church and the “Am Sande” square. Sometimes I had to backtrack a bit as it was my first visit not being sure of ways through. In the end we make it back to the train station where we started.
