Activities: We spontaneously stopped in Lauenburg, exploring the Altstadt. We parked in the harbor, enjoying the small brick houses and half-timbered buildings. We strolled along the streets, and Silas was hungry so we went to a cafe
Highlights: The unusual shop windows were fun for the kids, including an art gallery, a candy factory, and a pottery with a show workshop. Each house itself is worth seeing ✨
