 wadde sea - das Wattenmeer by Gerrem
If you once walked through the wadden sea barefoot you will return. It’s a great experience. As a child I often walked there and I loved it. But: you have to be careful. Don’t walk to far away from the coast. If the tide is coming the water is faster than you can run. Every year people have to be rescued by helicopters and sometimes people are drowning.
In order to protect this natural landscape on Niedersachsen's North Sea coast, the area was made a conservation area in 1986. The 288,000 hectare Niedersachsen Wadden Sea national park covers the tidal flats between the rivers Ems and Elbe, including the East Friesian islands lying just off the coast. The visitor can experience impressive natural displays and landscapes, such as the characteristic salt marshes, the steep bank at Dangast or the "floating moorland" at Sehestedt - the only surviving piece of the ancient moorland regularly invaded by the sea in Germany. Numerous animal and plant species live in the Wadden Sea national park. These include seals, which are easily observed on their sand banks, but also smaller creatures, such as the famous lugworm, which you might come across on a tidal flats walk at low tide.

 Brocken mountain by Gerrem
Dense mountain forests, bizarre rocky gullies, mysterious caves, roaring waterfalls... the landscape of the Harz mountains has many guises. Rare plants and animals that you won't come across anywhere else are found here. The shy wild cat, for example, the capercaillie, owls, kingfishers and black storks are still native. Experience unspoilt nature - in the Harz!
The Harz mountains, Germany's most northerly mountain range, is situated in the south of Niedersachsen, stretching into parts of the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
Deep valleys, mountains with acres and acres of deciduous and coniferous forests and rugged rocks alternating with gentle hills, colourful mountain meadows and clear lakes characterise the Harz landscape. Famous people such as Martin Luther, Heine and Goethe appreciated the Harz mountains and their variety. You can walk in the footsteps of kings and emperors, discover world-class cultural highlights or enjoy the beauty of nature in our two national parks in the Harz. I love the Harz! Leave a Comment

 Hanover main station & the
statue of Ernst August by Gerrem
Main city in the green, fair city, sports city and city of the Expo 2000 – Hannover was and is engaged with a lot of attributes. But none of them can reflect the different faces of the city all in one. Hannover has many sights, international flair, numerous events and exhibitions for any age or taste to offer. In the metropolis life pulsates all year: from the uproarious spring festival up to the romantic Christmas Market. And summer of course is the main season. For me, my family and friends it is also our “shopping city”. There are many many chances to spent your money…
If you come to Germany you have to come here and see and feel it by yourself. Leave a Comment Directions: You can't miss Hannover

 Allosaurus. Muriel and I by Gerrem
In the year 1980 dinosaur tracks were found in the "Wesling" firm´s quarry east of Münchehagen near Rehburg. The tracks were discovered during a fire-brigade practice which laid open the bottom of the quarry. On this occasion deep prints were cleaned from mud, which were known but ignored until that day. After the cleaning it was stated that surprisingly nearly 250 prints existed. Also it became clear that the prints formed several tracks which seemed to be from dinosaurs, living here in former times. Leave a Comment

 The heath in full bloom by Gerrem
Traditionally, the heath can be seen at its best in late summer from mid-August to late-September when it is usually in full bloom. Some 'heath specialists', however, prefer springtime or autumn when the yellow gleam of rape fields or the bright colours of leaves create an atmosphere of serenity.
Diversity is the trump card of the 'Lüneburg Heath'. There is so much more to enjoy than just watching the German moorland sheep and the Heath is looked upon as a perfect example of an idyllic vacation area. The region offers biking, hiking, horse-riding, watersports and golfing opportunities and its long history can be seen and learned about in the various castles, villages, museums and even traditional dishes.
You might fall in love with the 'Lüneburg Heath' -as I did- and you will be happy that you did not miss the chance to get to know such an idyllic, diverse and interesting part of the world. Leave a Comment Address: North-East of HannoverPhone: the sheeps don't phone...

 Einhornhöhle near
Scharzfeld by nepalgoods
In the caves of the Harz we found proof, that already the Neanderthal Men lived here.
On the meadows between the forest you'll find many rare plants like orchids. Leave a Comment

 Typical Farmhouse in Wendland by nepalgoods
After WWII, the Wendland became an almost forgotten area at the border to the GDR. Wendland was only mentioned in the news, when there was another riot or strike at Gorleben, where the ultimate dispostion of nuclear waste is planned.
The border divided the Wendland into two parts. There has been almost nothing more sad to see as this border, which fortunately has almost vanished now.
Wendland is today one of most lovely places in Germany with cosy little villages, small towns and wide farmland. Leave a Comment
