21 rocks line the path from the train station to the city center - every 50 to 100 meters there is a granite block weighing two to eight tons and up to three meters high. The German-Swedish artist Dagmar Glemme has created a picturesque cosmos on these stones. Mythical creatures, archaic signs and symbols are reminiscent of shamanism, sagas and myths of ancient peoples or the fantastic dream images of Marc Chagall.

The Ilmenau is an 86-kilometer-long (125-kilometer-long with its source, the Stederau) left and southern tributary of the Elbe in northeastern Lower Saxony. With an average water flow of around 18 cubic meters per second, it is by far the largest river in the Lüneburg Heath. From the northwest edge of the Brausebrücke bridge at the Abtsmühle in Lüneburg to its confluence with the Elbe at km 599, it is a federal waterway,[6] for which the Elbe Waterways and Shipping Authority is responsible.

The Ratsteich was originally created by damming an arm of the Ilmenau as part of fortification measures. Today, the Ratsteich is a popular tourist destination: there are restaurants here, you can stroll through the park and relax on the benches. The Ratsteich meadow is also a popular place to play. I particularly liked the water fountain.
