You will first be introduced to the history of the salt trade: 1396 in Lüneburg: Construction of the Stecknitz Canal began a few years ago to bring the precious salt from Lüneburg to Lübeck in large quantities. By land, the horse-drawn vehicles take several weeks and can only transport 2 tons of salt at a time. But sewer construction is in danger of failing! Henry of Lüneburg had stones thrown into the Elbe at the mouth of the canal in order to block the entrance! It is now up to you to ensure peace and find a solution so that trade can continue to flourish and Lüneburg flourishes!

Work in a team (1-6 people per group) to solve the case Are you more than 6 people? Then we recommend that you divide yourself into several small groups, otherwise experience has shown that not all of them are well integrated into the game. You can also test which group is the fastest!

Puzzle yourself along the story from station to station with the help of our city map. Solve the puzzles at Lüneburg's most beautiful sights and at important points and learn more about the salt trade and the path of salt. It is part of the game to guess the individual stations of the city rally. As a result, they are not listed here. At the stations, clues must be sought to solve the puzzles. This game focuses on the story and puzzles, not on details of the historical history of the sights and the city.

Move at your own pace and take a break whenever you want. The duration is approximately 2 to 3 hours. The end is in the old town of Lüneburg near the German Salt Museum.
