Hanseatic City of Lüneburg, is a charming town of the Lower Saxony. Lüneburg, the former capital of the Old Salt Road, currently has been the political capital of North Germany.

The Lüneburg Saltworks (Lüneburger Saline) which was closed in 1980 has been serving as German Salt Museum and it is one of the main attractions of the city especially for kids and youth.

Another historical place is St. Michael (Michaeliskirche) where Johann Sebastian Bach was a choirboy.
After having a city tour, we had lunch at Mälzer, one of the oldest pubs and brewers of the city. This old and charming city reminded me an old fairy tale from my childhood:
Once upon a time, there was a king. He had three daughters. He asked them "How much you like me?" The eldest said "I love you more than gold." The second daughter said "I love you more than honey." And the youngest said "I love you more than salt, father." The king was appalled to what his youngest daughter said. Just more than salt? One day, the kingdom ran out of salt. People of kingdom became sick. The food did not taste. Then, the king understood, what his youngest daughter meant.
