Lübeck, the "Queen of the Hanseatic League "graced with many notable medieval buildings, has been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The novels of Lübeck's famous sons Heinrich and Thomas Mann rank among the world's great literary works. Lübeck-Travemünde is one of Europe's most important ferry ports. Lübeck is famous for the exceptional quality of its marzipan, which, by law, contains a high almond-to-sugar ratio, giving the paste an exceptionally rich flavour. The blend is even recognized by a European Union law that protects the "Lübecker Marzipan" name.
Lübeck is situated approx. 60kms north of Hamburg.
