Beyond the cars and vehicular history, the park and landscaping is beautiful and during Christmas time there were lots of activities. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We came here as part of a group. We did the english tour where as our relatives did the german tour. I did notice that at the beginning whre the your starts the german tour included lowering the items which hang from the ceiling but on or english tour this was not demonstrated to us. Our tour started where the model of the pump was. The children were well incuded in the tour and one of our grandchildren who is scared of the dark was offered a torch. The interesting part of the tour was the end part where we climbed the many many stairs up a ladder to get back to surface. We did not spend much time in the land museums afterwards.

we went here to learn more about the production of salt In Luneburg. We had the opportunity to go with a German guide or do a audio guided tour with English speaking guide. We choose the last, as our German is not to good. It was very interesting to heat and see all the things in the museum. It was made very interesting. we spent a couple of hours there, and felt well intertained and a little wiser when we left. Will deffinetly recommend to visit this place.
