From Halifax south on NS Highway 3.
Lunenburg, is a little fishing port on a peninsula on the Nova Scotia coast between the town of Mahone Bay and the mouth of the La Have River. Because of its geographical position the town has two harbors, Back Harbour in the North and Lunenburg Harbour on the bay of the same name.
Lunenburg got its name from the many settlers from Lüneburg in northern Germany who came here when the British colonial government founded it in 1753 as a settlement for Protestants in Nova Scotia, and the social and cultural life of Lunenburg, as well as its traditions and townscape, still bear the imprint of those early northern European settlers.
