By car

Go to Lüneburg as shown on the regional map to the right. Then look at the local map: There is a circular bypass  4/209  going around Lüneburg in the east. Get on that and then take off to the east at Federal Route  216  (“Abfahrt Lüneburg-Hagen”) in the direction of Dannenberg.

Follow  216  east for about 4 kilometers. Once out of town, you will see just fields and forest for a while and cross a canal. Keep going until you hit a rotary/roundabout. Keep going straight (i.e. leave the rotary at the second exit on the right hit. Go past the green gas station and the supermarket on your left. Take a right immediately behind the pharmacy (“Apotheke”), just before the pedestrian light (little blue sign “Dorfstraße”). Keep going on this street; it’s our street. Go past the next intersection on the right, slow down, and start looking for our house on the right-hand side. Watch for a bus stop and a white house behind trees with a black fence with a white “6” on it.

By plane

The nearest airport is Hamburg. Take a bus or taxicab downtown and go to Lüneburg by train. Or rent a car and drive (get on freeway  7 , go down through the tunnel under the Elbe River, and follow our car directions). Lübeck Airport is sometimes a low-cost option.

By train

Lüneburg, the nearest train station, has frequent service from Hamburg/Harburg, Hannover, and Lübeck. We are part of Hamburg Metro Transport (HVV). Lüneburg Station is on our side of town, but bus service to Barendorf is infrequent. Take a taxicab (about 4 miles) or call us.

By bike

Our area is well-suited for biking, but the way to Lüneburg is long and not always interesting. We suggest taking the train and bringing your bike. Once off the train, go to the main road heading east toward Dannenberg called “Dahlenburger Landstraße.” After a mile and a half you will cross Lüneburg’s eastern bypass. Continue as described in our car directions.

By boat

You can probably anchor your boat at Lüneburg Harbor, on the Elbe-Seitenkanal channel. We have no idea how this works; call Hafen Lüneburg GmbH at +49 4131 57585 for details. Call to be picked up or take your bike using our car directions.

By foot

Forget it.
