Description by the author

Motorroute following approximately the Old Salt Route.


The Old Salt Route or Ate Salzstraße was a medieval trade route for the transport of salt. The salt, at that time also called "white gold", was mined near Lüneburg. The trade route led from there northward to Lübeck, from where it was shipped to several destinations around the Baltic Sea like Falsterbo with its Scania Market, where it was needed for the preservation of fish, which was exported through Lübeck to continental Europe. The salt trade was a major reason for the power of Lübeck and the Hanseatic League.
