With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience all that Lueneburg, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Luene Abbey, Golf Resort and Brewery Museum. Located 20 miles away, Ratzeburg is another place to aim for. If you swing by, make sure you check out Ratzeburger See, Ratzburg Kurpark and Ernst Barlach Museum.
