The Bird's Park near Walsrode is an absolute must!! The Park is surrounded by wonderful forests. It shows thousands of birds from all over the world.
I loved the Keas from New Zealand most. And I even saw the grey macpies there, which I know from Beijing. Leave a Comment

Wendland, the Country of the Wend, named after a Slavic tribe, which lived there from about 1500 years ago until modern times. Today, there does no distinct Slavic population exist. But the special way of building circular villages still reminds us of their way of living.
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

Between Hannover and Hamburg there is a wide strech of land, which is called the Lüneburger Heide. During the last centuries agriculture was not possible in the sandy ground. So people held sheep to earn their money. This sheep eating the gras and all short greens cultivated this landscape. Firtrees and wide areas of gras and heather are typical. Many tourists come here in the end of August to see the heather bloom.

The city of Celle with about 75.000 inhabitants is located about 35 km (22 mi) north-east from Hannover, Lower Saxony. Celle was founded in 1292.
Walking through the old town make you feel like in the 18th century. Everywhere around are hal-timbered houses as well as buildings in Weserrenaissance, Renaisance and Baroque style. Leave a Comment

In the west of Lower Saxony are the Weser Mountains, a low range of mountains along the River Weser. Weserbergland has a nice foresty landscape.
Very famous is Hameln on Weser river with its fairy tale of the Pied Piper. The most wonderful timbered houses you'll find in Hannoversch Münden, a lovely little town at the confluence of Fulda and Werra Rivers, which from here on are called Weser.
Weserbergland is an area for recreation and wellness holidays. One of the nice Spas is Bad Pyrmont. Leave a Comment

Rinteln is situated in the Weserbergland region, half way between Hannover and Bielefeld. The town attracts visitors with beautifully restored half-timbered and Weserrenaissance buildings. Rinteln was founded around 1150 and received the city right in 1239. In the same year the city fortification was built. In 1806 Napoleon razed the walls and two years later the Westphalian King Jerôme transfered the university to Marburg. Leave a Comment
