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.
