Between Lueneburg and Luebeck one cycles on the trail of the „white gold“ from now on even more easily – with the hot off the press cycle touring map „Alte Salzstraße“(Old Salt Road). The publishers are the Herzogtum Lauenburg Marketing and Service Ltd and the Bielefelder Verlag, a specialist for bike products. The map belongs to the popular spiral-bound series and is a neat mixture of cycle touring map and guide. For about 100 kilometres one follows the salt from the salt works in Lueneburg to the harbour of the Hanseatic city of Luebeck. The stages along the romantic Elbe-Luebeck Canal are well edited with map sheets and town plans. Lueneburg, the 1,000 year old salt town, Lauenburg on the Elbe, the Eulenspiegel town Moelln, Ratzeburg with its mighty redbrick cathedral and finally Luebeck, the „Queen of the Hanseatic League“ – every station on the route is clearly described and invites one to extensive tours of discovery. Historic details carry cycle tourers off into medieval times, when the trade route was still used by horse and cart. The cycle touring map „Alte Salzstraße“ is produced in the scale 1:50,000 and complies with the demands of the cycle tourer. The square format, the spiral-binding and the north-orientation of all the maps are its practical features. |
