Discover the Duchy of Lauenburg – right outside the gates of the Hanseatic cities Lübeck and Hamburg . More than 40 lakes, the Sachsenwald, natural treasures such as the Schaalsee region, picturesque old cities, tree-lined roads and manor houses invite you to set off exploring on a bicycle.

Trace the path of the white gold from Lüneburg to Lauenburg and Mölln and on to the Baltic Sea and Lübeck along the historic trade route, the Old Salt Route . Here, where in the Middle Ages there was heavy trade traffic, leisure-time and inland captains today glide quietly to the sea. Enjoy the landscape of adventure in the Duchy of Lauenburg while partaking of the regional culinary specialities. Hearty, home-made cakes and rural sociability are always in season in the inns and farmyard cafés! A genuine highlight for all cycling fans: the Elbe Cycle Path follows this mighty river for about 1000 km – accompanied by Elbe skippers. The commanding Elbhang between Lauenburg and Geesthacht is especially impressive. The cities Geesthacht, Lauenburg, Mölln or Ratzeburg have plenty to offer, even when you are not on the seat of your bicycle.
