Ahoi!

An der Obertrave / corner of Marlesgrube, Lubeck, 23552

Lübeck at its best. It doesn’t get more romantic than this! You are in gorgeous Lübeck and want to get a different view of the city? Why not try a small but beautiful tour on the water?

You will receive a short intro on how to steer and off you go onto the Obertrave – you have up to two hours to circle Lübeck’s old town and enjoy the calm of the water.

A Night in Lübeck

Altstadt, Lübeck,

Do you remember them, from when you were a child? Night hikes? They were scary, but also exciting. Something amazing and special. Oh, where have the times gone? In Lübeck, there is a special service that reminds us of those fond childhood memories. The so-called „Night Watch Walk“ caters more to the needs of grown-ups though. There is no campfire, no marshmallow roasting, and no stories told by flashlight — too bad, really. But there is the whole city of Lübeck at night.

All natural

An der Untertrave 1, Lübeck, 23552

There is a lot of history in Lübeck. Craftsmanship is honored and love of nature celebrated. The beautiful Hanseatic city is persuasive in its love of detail, history and honesty. And all of that is reflected in the gorgeous little „Café Fräulein Brömse“. Named after Adelheid Brömse, a famous and important daughter of the city.

Experience the Hanseatic legacy up close
