The 116km long route conects the old hanseatic cities Lünbeburg and Lübeck
Where valuable salt was transported to Lübeck on sandy paths in the Middle Ages, cyclists today discover the beauty of the Duchy of Lauenburg in all its diversity on the historic trade route.
As a spice and preservative, salt was one of the most important trade goods for centuries, to which cities such as Lüneburg and Lübeck owe their power and wealth.
