Hamburg - Day 4 - Day Trip to Lubeck

Today, Jennifer and I took a short trip to Lubeck. It is a beautiful town, surrounded by a Moat. Most of the buildings and churches date back further then 1226, when it was made a free imperial city.Here are some pictures from our day. The weather was beautiful.

This is the entrance to the city

This picture has not been touched up - it really did have that reflection on the water. It was absolutely beautiful.

Lubeck is also a major supplier of marzipan. Niederegger, one of the largest suppliers, makes the marzipan just outside the city, and sends it all over the world. We ate lunch at Das Cafe Niederegger, the cafe inside the candy store. They also have a Marzipan Salon, which was like a little marzipan museum. It showed how they make the marzipan, and had some of the older molds on display. Here are some pictures from the Marzipan Salon. All of the figures in the pictures below are made out of marzipan.

Here are some funny signs I saw in Lubeck.
