Sommerabende am Stint

Summer evenings on the smelt

After a hot summer day, the sun is quietly fading on the horizon, the warm colors of the sunset are reflected in the water, and in our hands a cool beer or a fine drop of wine - no, we are not on a summer vacation on the Mediterranean coast, but in the middle of Lüneburg, at the Stint near the Old Port. Here, the perfect summer day can be brought to a perfect end with delicious food and refreshing drinks at the many restaurants and bars.

Idylle in Schröders Garten genießen

Enjoy idyll in Schröder's garden

You just want to relax and get away from it all for a few hours? Then we have a particularly cozy place for you: Schröder's garden, located directly on the idyllic Ilmenau River, not only offers good cuisine, open-air concerts and an adventure playground, but also a boat rental service with pedal boats and rowboats. Sail a few laps on the beautiful Ilmenau and enjoy nature. And now all together: "A lake... um.... Boat trip, that's fun, a boat trip, that's beautiful...".

Ice, Ice Baby!

Fancy a bit of variety? In the Calluna ice cream parlor directly at the Stint, there are exciting flavor variations such as mint-lemon sorbet, red fruit jelly meringue and chocolate salmiac in addition to the classic varieties. Especially nice: Thanks to the direct location at the Lüneburger Stint, not only the ice cream but also a fantastic view of the idyllic Ilmenau can be enjoyed here.

Auszeit

Here you can find almost all the classics that every adequate ice cream dealer should have, but also real exotics like cucumber, grandma's apple pie or peanut sea salt. Insiders have revealed: Currently, even a Luna Gin ice cream is being tasted. Mmmhhh...

Going around the houses with the Red Jester is a unique city tour in Lüneburg that takes you on an exciting and creative journey through the historic alleys of the city.

Idyllisches Naturparadies

Idyllic natural paradise

The Heron Lake in Brietlingen is a beautiful place that invites you to linger and relax. Surrounded by dense forests and lush meadows, the lake offers an idyllic setting for nature lovers and hikers. The calm atmosphere and clear water make the lake a popular destination for anglers and swimmers. Those who like to be active can enjoy boating or canoeing on the lake or stroll along the shore promenade. Particularly impressive are the numerous herons that lend their name to the lake and regularly settle here. A highlight is also the annual Heron Lake Run, where sports enthusiasts can explore the lake's surroundings. Families can enjoy a picnic on the lakeshore, while children can splash around in the shallow water. Heron Lake is a place of rest and relaxation, suitable for both a day trip and a longer stay.

Fruchtige Auszeit auf dem Erdbeerfeld

Fruity time out in the strawberry field

Summertime is strawberry time and on the Strampe farm there are many opportunities to enjoy the sweet fruits. The region is known for its strawberry fields, where you can pick the fruit yourself. But not only the self-picking is an experience, also the many offers of the local farms are worth a visit. Here you can not only buy fresh strawberries, but also discover other regional products. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can enjoy strawberry delicacies in one of the city's many cafes and restaurants. Whether strawberry cake, strawberry punch or ice cream with fresh strawberries - the options are many. There is also a lot for children to discover in Neetze. In the strawberry fields, they can not only pick the fruit, but also observe animals and play. So a trip to the region is not only a highlight for strawberry lovers, but for the whole family.

Kühle Schatzkammer: Entdecke das altehrwürdige Rathaus in Lüneburg!

Cool treasure trove: discover the venerable town hall in Lüneburg!

Cooling off in the town hall is the perfect solution for hot summer days in Lüneburg. When the temperatures climb beyond the 30°C mark and neither ice cream nor a dip in the cool water provide relief, the time-honored town hall offers a pleasantly cool change. The thick walls of the imposing building conceal not only magnificent Gothic and Renaissance rooms, but also many interesting stories and anecdotes about the Hanseatic city. The guided tour takes you through the court arbor, the upper Gewandhaus, the Ratsstube and the old archive and is a real bargain at only 5 euros per person. Here you can admire not only the city treasury, but also the impressive ceiling paintings and stained glass windows, as well as the shoulder bone of the salt sow, which is associated with the founding of Lüneburg. Although you're unfortunately not allowed to take pictures inside the town hall, you can look forward to some beautiful images thanks to the kind support of Lüneburg Marketing GmbH. So, if you're looking to cool off and learn more about Lüneburg's history at the same time, cooling off in the town hall is just the thing for you!

Auf die Bretter, fertig, los!

On the boards, ready, go!

A gentle breeze of Honululu is blowing around our noses... No, we are not dreaming of Hawaii or the cocktail bar we trust, but are standing with both (more or less wobbly) legs on a SUP board on the Ilmenau at home. But don't worry: Should you ever go overboard while practicing, the cool water provides a welcome change. So get on your boards and start paddling!

Entspannung am idyllischen Seeufer

Relaxation on the idyllic lakeside

Summer, sun, Inselsee - If you don't want to miss out on the feeling of fine sand between your toes, then Scharnebeck Inselsee is just the place for you. Because here there are no limits for small and large sandcastle builders to build their dream castle. After jumping into the cool water, the surrounding meadows invite you to play a game of soccer, badminton or simply to laze around.

Atmosphärische Abendstunden mit Jazz und Erdbeerkuchen

Atmospheric evening with jazz and strawberry pie

Strawberry cake like grandma used to make or a light summer wine paired with atmospheric jazz, pop and singer-songwriter concerts - that's it for Hofkultur in the Glockenhof. Every weekend, the cozy late-night café in the Glockenhof provides unforgettable evening hours under the open sky. Drop by and listen to the warm sounds of the courtyard music.
