Ammersbek

Ammersbek is located about 20 kilometres northeast of Hamburg in the midst of a picturesque landscape of forests, lakes and rivers. The area is known for its idyllic cycling and hiking paths along the Alster river or through the Sachsenwald forest. In summer, it is a great place to swim or go canoeing.

One of the most important sights is Ahrensburg Castle with its impressive baroque garden and Hohehorst Manor House with its historic buildings from the 18th century. A walk through the old town of Lübeck is also well worthwhile - it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Culture enthusiasts will also get their money's worth in Ammersbek: the Marstall cultural centre regularly offers concerts, theatre performances and exhibitions. Another highlight is the annual town festival in August with music acts of all genres as well as regional specialities such as grilled bratwurst or fresh fish from the Baltic Sea.

For gourmets, Ammersbek also has a lot to offer: Be sure to try Hamburg's famous eel soup or enjoy regional wines at a wine tasting directly from the vintner. The fish market in Hamburg is also worth a visit - here you can get fresh fish and seafood straight from the harbour.

And what to do if it rains? Then we recommend a visit to the Museum of Art and Cultural History in Lübeck or a trip to Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, one of the largest model railway layouts in the world.

Overall, Ammersbek is a destination with many facets: Pure nature, cultural highlights and culinary delights make the region a place that is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the opportunity to discover this idyllic area!
