GPS City Rally in Lübeck – Why Here?
Lübeck, the "Queen of the Hanseatic League", enchants with its completely preserved medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. The iconic Holstentor gate, the imposing St. Mary's Church, and the winding alleys with over 1,000 listed buildings tell of the glorious Hanseatic era. Culinary delights like the world-famous Niederegger marzipan and the literary tradition of the Buddenbrooks add to its charm.
The compact UNESCO Old Town on an island is perfect for exploring on foot. Around 50 challenges are distributed throughout the historic city area – trivia questions about Hanseatic history, photo challenges in front of the Holstentor, literature puzzles about the Buddenbrooks, and of course a sweet marzipan station.
