About this tour
This session follows the Trave river around part of Lübeck's old town island, showing how the water almost entirely surrounds the medieval core. You see the riverbank path and a bridge crossing where the water level is managed. Torben explains the river's role in shaping the city's layout.
The walk covers two points along the water at an easy pace, timed for calm conditions where possible. Torben answers questions about the river and its management.
This suits anyone wanting a scenic, easy session outdoors. It works well alongside his Travemünde session on the coast.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
