The story begins in 1396 in Lüneburg: The construction of the Stecknitz Canal was intended to bring the precious salt from Lüneburg to Lübeck more quickly. But sewer construction is in danger of failing! Henry of Lüneburg had the entrance blocked. It is now up to you to make peace and find a solution!

Work in a team (1-6 people per group). If you have more than 6 people, we recommend splitting up into several small groups. You can also test which group is the fastest!

Puzzle yourself from station to station with the help of our city map. Solve puzzles about Lüneburg's most beautiful sights and learn more about the salt trade. The exact stations remain part of the game and are not listed here. At the stations, you will find tips on how to solve the puzzles.

Move at your own pace and take breaks as you please. The duration is approximately 2 to 3 hours. The destination is in the old town of Lüneburg, near the German Salt Museum.

It was a lot of fun, but a bit too much text for Kulturbanausen like us.

It was a lot of fun for us. We only came up with the idea when we were out and about that it would be good if the lyrics could be played back as audio. My partner had to pay close attention to me while I read out the lyrics 😅
