Languages spoken

by DanielF

Some parts of Lower Saxony are often considered are the areas where the best Hochdeutsch is spoken, namely the standard version of the German language.Nevertheless, several dialects usually referred to as Plattdeutsch are still spoken in some areas. Particularly lively is the dialect spoken in Eastern Frisia, a dialect of Lower Saxon strongly related to the Frisian spoken to the other side of the border, in the Netherlands, and hardly understandable for the débutant in the language of Rilke.

Flensburger

by Gili_S

Like is any place in Germany, there is the region brewery, and here I found this Flensburger beer very good. Also with their stylish bottle it can even be a souvenir.My favourite with the food was Flensburger Dunkel and on a hot summer day was the Flensburger Pils.
