Dinosaur Park Münchehagen

by Gerrem

Discover the history of the earth along a 2.5 km trail. The outdoor exhibition is highlighted by about 150 life-size models of dinosaurs, including the terrible Allosaurus and the 45 m long Seismosaurus, the largest dinosaur Model on earth. The models illustrate the evolutoin of this fascinating group of extinct animals. The trackside is located halfwayalong the trail.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.

Harz mountains

by tini58de

This is the area that we used to skiing to, but I also remember long hikes during summer time and fascinating caves to discover. Plus there are wonderful towns and castles there - just wonderful!Just to visit the Harz mountains would make a wonderful vacation!

Lüneburg

by tini58de

Lüneburg is an old Hanseatic Town, which got rich because of its salt deposits. It has beautiful old houses and a lovely atmosphere. When I visited, I was so surprised at the beauty of this medieval city - don't miss it! From what I heard, the Christmas market there must be VERY nice!Lüneburg is also the ideal starting point for excursions into the Lüneburg Heath, which is especially beautiful in late summer, when the heather is in bloom.

Ostfriesland

by tini58de

Moin, Moin ..is the way people greet each other in East Frisia. East Frisia is a very flat country and is a little bit similar to the neighboring Netherlands. So you can find windmills here, dikes, the North Sea and some wild East Friesian islands - this part of the country really is a wonderful spot for outdoor people!
