Celle is an ancient German city first mentioned in 985 as Kiellu (fishing bay). Today it is a city of 71 000 people. It is a part of the German Timber-Frame Road, a German tourist route leading from the River Elbe to the Black Forest and Lake Constance in the south. There are 400 examples of timber-framed houses in Celle.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
