we went here to learn more about the production of salt In Luneburg. We had the opportunity to go with a German guide or do a audio guided tour with English speaking guide. We choose the last, as our German is not to good. It was very interesting to heat and see all the things in the museum. It was made very interesting. we spent a couple of hours there, and felt well intertained and a little wiser when we left. Will deffinetly recommend to visit this place.

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 ;)
