On the trail of Nobel Prize winner Günter Grass by app and bike
The mobile adventure tour leads from the Hanseatic city of Lübeck to the Eulenspiegel town of Mölln. Through a multifaceted region that became a surrogate home for Günter Grass.

The tour with the free smartphone app begins in Lübeck, where the Günter Grass House has been dedicated to the life and work of the Nobel Prize winner in a new permanent exhibition since March 2022.

The mobile adventure tour "Tour de Grass" leads from the Hanseatic city of Lübeck through the Stecknitz Valley to the Eulenspiegel town of Mölln along the Elbe-Lübeck Canal, the blue artery of the Duchy of Lauenburg. In between lies Behlendorf - a tranquil place where Günter Grass was able to concentrate on his literary and artistic work in peace and quiet. The tour stops at 24 stations in the region that played a role in Günter Grass' life and work.

The app offers stories, images and texts by the writer and visual artist as well as various augmented reality applications. It can be used to solve a wide variety of tasks, such as comparing the artist's watercolours with the current landscape or virtually recreating a flat-bottomed ship that brought salt to Lübeck 500 years ago.
