Having enjoyed a really interesting guided tour of Middle Age Lüneburg we eventually reached the old crane where students were shown how it worked.

This beautiful church and its character was enhanced by the friendly morning service, followed by a hot cup of tea.

We are in luck to live in Lüneburg so we go every year in August for a walk through. We try to always visit a different area and see other places in the “Heide”. It is worth it every time! If you love walks ( short or long), wild nature and diversity you are in the right place. Please be aware that this is a natural reservation and you are not allowed to leave the roads nor lay in among the flowers for your Insta-Foto ;)

It does not get better. During the time, we have seen quite some monastery now but none with such an informative guide and passion for there history. We would definitely come back here should we ever go through Lüneburg again.
