• Am Marienpl. 3 - Begin your journey at Am Marienpl. 3, 21335 Lüneburg, Germany. Open the Explorial app and input the 6-digit game code provided via text and Viator chat message. The puzzles will guide you through a city where the medieval prosperity is evident at every corner.

Your first stop is the Brausebrücke, a historic bridge over the Ilmenau River. Here, Lüneburg’s water-powered mills once fueled the salt trade, making the city one of the wealthiest in northern Europe for three centuries.

Next, the app leads you to the Rathaus, one of the most exquisite medieval town halls in Lower Saxony. Its Gothic and Renaissance facade commands the main market square, reflecting the authority of a city that was once more influential than Hamburg.

The journey concludes along the alley ‘Auf dem Meere’, an evocatively named passageway—its name translates to ‘on the sea’—that meanders between closely packed merchant houses and salt warehouses, maintaining the essence of a medieval trading district in exceptional condition.

The walk takes approximately 2 hours. Lüneburg’s old town is compact and offers a delightful experience when explored at a leisurely pace.
