Listening to traffic info on the radio, pay attention to the A255 report. If there is a traffic jam, we suggest choosing the longer way on the A7 and the Kohlbrandbrücke. You will find the alternative way under Directions via A7 Direction Hannover.

We took pictures of crucial points, which will help you to easily navigate the correct way. You will find them with the corresponding descriptions on this page.

Coming from Lüneburg on the A250, you will reach the Maschener Kreuz.

Leave the A250 and drive onto the A1 direction Lübeck. Follow the freeway A1.

Drive straight for a good distance, until shortly after you pass the Rasthof Stillhorn, you will see the turnoff for the Autobahnkreuz Hamburg-Süd.

At the junction Hamburg-Süd, drive in the left lane and onto the A255, direction Hamburg-Centrum.

On the A255, go straight until you get to the Neue Elbbrücke (Warning: there is a speed camera installed).

At the traffic light at the end of the first bridge you turn right into the Zweibrückenstraße direction Freihafen.

Following the street, you will pass under the A255 and reach a junction, at which you turn left into the Freihafen.

Leaving the Freihafen, there is a small Customs (Zoll) house on the left, and you must go underneath a railway bridge. The Zweibrückenstraße is now called the Baakenwerder Straße on which you go straight until the end.

At the end of Baakenwerder Straße you turn left into the Versmannstraße.

Follow the Versmannstraße (it is called Brooktor in the meantime), until it is possible to turn left into the street Am Sandtorkai.

Please turn right into the street Auf dem Sande at the third intersection.

If you turn left at the next block of buildings (shortly before the bridge), you will arrive directly in front of the Miniatur Wunderland. Welcome!
