Lübeck in a Day by Train from Kiel Germany | Carnival Cruise Ship

Our next cruise port was Kiel Germany and we had one day so we decided to take the train from Kiel to Lubeck Germany. Lübeck’s historic medieval old town is located on a densely built-up island onei Germany’s most extensive UNESCO World Heritage Sites

We had a great journey to discovering the beauty and charm of Lubeck, Germany the one time capital city. From the charming brick buildings and churches of Old Town, to the great views atop St Paul’s Chruch and the relaxing boat tour around the historic town, we had a great excursion from the port of Kiel.

By self planning this cruise excursion using the train from the Port in Kiel to Lubeck and doing a self-walking tour and a self-guided boat tour, we saved over $190. As the Carinval Cruise excursion was $154.99 each for a Lubeck on our Own excursion.

In July 2023 we took a cruise in Europe for 33 days out of Dover England. Our first cruise was a 12 Day Baltic Cruise. Join us as we explore 10 countries, 18 ports in 33 days.

like a church the what do we got here Rob the name Lebec comes from the Slavic root love love one of the many Town squares right before we get into Oldtown since the 10th century laas was the second most important settlement Lebec was granted s city right in 1160 and in 1260 it became an immediate City within the Holy Roman Empire in the middle of the 12th century Lebec developed into the Cradle of the henic league uhhuh of which it was considered the de facto Capital most important city from then on so at one time this was the capital leck’s historic Old Town located on a densely builtup island is Germany’s most extensive UNESCO world heritage site nicknamed the city of seven Towers let’s go see if we can find the seven Towers promin uh dominated by the seven towers of its five [Music] churches okay Robin where are we at we are at St Peter’s cathedral in Luc Germany what do we know about this church this church was built in 1170 or opened in 1170 and it’s a brick medieval architecture sits on top of the hill if you get here or after 12 we’re here way before 12 you could take the elevator up to the top of the tower and you’d have views of old the old town and some of the new town pretty cool yeah look at those tall Windows huh yeah real cool if we take the boat tour later the boot will not be well at least the one that we found the one that we found yeah so maybe down further well there’s another one over here we might go to [Music] well at first I thought it was another church it’s actually a hospital and across the street a community garden so this hospital was restored and after was it was first built in 1286 and it has been restored after this is considered among the first hospitals you want to see if you can go in Rob let’s go check it out one of the oldest hospitals in Europe construction started in 1260s it was still used in the 6 1960s [Music] look at the spiral staircase over there so is this the church part of the hospital is this the church part of the hospital here’s a [Music] model cemetery on the edge of the hospital [Music] Farm got a well here so the front must be the church and then maybe coming down think so it’s the hospital so that it shows there’s hospital beds here coming down okay yeah it kind of looks like they have like little rooms or something down an old hospital part of the building very small hospital room where are we at Robin you see the uh Sun clock sun dial what time is it Rob looks like 8:15 it looks like 8:15 but it’s almost [Music] what do we got Robin St Catherine’s Church St Catherine the only

courtyard yes little Alleyway into a courtyard look at it t 1659 which one was 1659 1659 I think that yellow building and uh these brick buildings are just so cool and stuff but is this yellow building rich is this yellow building a little cockey it’s I think the bottom is kicked out or it’s is it optical illusion no and then what’s look at they that brick one over there but look at they exposed the brick on this one uhhuh to see the original like Arch or something yeah this one’s kind of leaning back Rich yeah do you think they’re made like that I don’t think so I think because it’s from 800 years ago that just struggling a little bit with it yeah is that a optical Lo no I don’t think [Music] so where are we going Rob once again we got an early start now it is almost 11 and look at these crbs we are going to go to town hall right we’ve got m on one side modern on the other [Music] An Elegant gothic church that was rebuilt after World War II I thought it was St Mark Marine oh that’s how you say St Mar’s St Mary and St Mary’s Church the model for many large churches in the Baltic region built between 1260 and 1350 to destroyed in 1942 restoration Works were completed in 1959 and then you got the turret in 78 through 80 see all the different bricks the patchwork this is aall all church I’m getting dizzy look at uh the Corner Stones it has Stones instead of the brick those are crazy look at all those windows yeah we went back to St Peters Church to go up to the top of the tower to take in the views of the [Music] city Robin where are we the cran is moving we are on the top of a tower at St Paul’s Church in Lu overlooking the canal in the old town oh look we can walk over there cool the birds are flying it’s incredible these facades how they’re kind of teered little curved ones or squared off ones but it’s amazing how the ones we’ve seen that are kind of tilted back in Le they’re tilted back and not forward look at these rooftop patios over here yeah those are pretty cool look at the second roof in and look how they have to work on these houses that crane is way over there and yeah cuz you can’t drive trucks in there into the courtyard did you see the pictures downstairs of with snow on these rooftops nuh so look how steep they are to keep the snow off but they have an ornate front but a steep sharp roof for the weather so cool look at that second roof seems kind of like it does seem kind of kind of uh wavy I think these are the two churches we haven’t been to this one there and then over here look how big Mary’s looks oh man how close it looks like I felt like we walked quite ways like to get over here it’s pretty cool it’s a nice view cuz it’s hard to really take it all in while you’re walking through the street and then you get to see more of the church yeah from this view you can see more of the rooftops house they’re all little red and brown and then we see more of the [Music] [Music] let’s go see if we can find a Canal tour Rich
