Wadden Sea National Park

by Gerrem

If you climbed up onto an embankment somewhere on the North Sea coast to take a look at the sea, you could be in for a disappointment - there's not a drop of water to be seen! Instead a broad, barren flatness stretches away before you. But don't panic, the North Sea will be back - in the Wadden Sea, the water ebbs and flows twice a day, in a six hour cycle. Giving rise, between Den Helder in the Netherlands and Esbjerg in Denmark, to a 10,000 square kilometre large wetland, the like of which is found nowhere else in the world.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...

Steinhuder Sea - the big flat lake

by Gerrem

The Steinhuder Meer is about 50 km north of Hannover and 10 min away from Neustadt, the town were I'm working. If I have the time I go there in my lunch break....The Steinhuder Meer is well known as a sailing paradise by water-sports enthusiasts. National and internatinal regattas are staged here every year.But also surfer and other watersports will find ideal conditions on this big flat lake.

Harz mountains

by Gerrem

The Harz mountains are only 1 1/2 hour by car away from my hometown Elze. In summer you can have long walks there and in winter you can skiing there. The highest mountai is named Brocken and is about 1000 m high.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...

Muenden

by DanielF

Muenden is located where the rivers Werra and Fulda converge to form the Weser. The old town is perfectly preserved, including more than 700 original half-timbered houses and a Weserrenaissance town hall.

Hamelin

by DanielF

On the banks of the river Weser, the colourful old town of Hamelin keeps a large number of valuable buildings, many of them typical of the Weserrenaissance, an architechtural style unique to this area of Northern Germany.And talking about Wesserrenaissance, only about 10 km South of Hamelin, you can visit one of the most famous castles erected in this style: the Hämelschenburg.

Lueneburg

by DanielF

Lüneburg is one of the richest towns in history in Lower Saxony. It was built near a salt mine that brought wealth to the town until not so many years ago. In fact, the Baltic Sea is very poor in salt and Lüneburg was an important supplier of this mineral for Northern Germany and parts of Scandinavia.The charm of old times can still be seen in the historic quarters of Lüneburg, which is also the gate to the Natural Park of the homonymous Heath.

Goettingen

Since the King of England and Prince Elector of Hannover founded its University in the XVIII century, Goettingen has become one of the most reputated University cities in Germany.This picture shows the Market Square, with the famous fountain of the Geesekeeper (Gänselieselbrunnen), the symbol of the city.

Celle

by DanielF

Celle belongs to the the exclusive club of German towns and cities that have been spared from the destruction of wars. For this reason, Celle shows itself today as a post-card perfect town with hundreds of ancient half-timbered houses in perfect condition.This picture shows an aspect of the Aller banks, in the outskirts of the old town.

Bad Gandersheim's origins can be traced back to the 9th Century, when it was an important administrative center. The Abbey is a wonderful example of Romanesque style architecture. Today there are open air festivals and concerts in the grounds of the cathedral - what a spectacular surrounding!
