| Lower Saxony Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see pied piper pied piper voltaire medina Lower Saxony ("Niedersachsen" in German) is the second largest federal state (Bundesland) of Germany. Situated in the north-west of the country, it measures 350 km from Schnackenburg on the River Elbe to the Dutch border in the west, and 300km from Cuxhaven on the North Sea coast to Hannoversch Münden at the southern extremity of the state. Its population is almost equal to that of Sweden - nearly 8 million. "Niedersachsen" is a mixture of flatlands and mountains. The entire area along the Weser River is spectacular with lakes waterfalls mountains rivers and windmills. Borkum, an island off the North Sea coast is as attractive as the peaks of the Harz Mountains in the south of Lower Saxony. In between these two you will find a great concentration of people around Hannover but also deserted heaths, Europe's largest automotive plant but also the Hildesheimer Börde, with the most fertile soils in Germany. Lower Saxony has the most extensive mixed woodlands in the country, eight large cities and countless moors. The East Frisian islands are undoubtedly the favourite holiday destination for German families. The Harz Mountains contain Germany's most northerly ski resorts. Luneburg Heath is the oldest nature park in Germany and the Wattenmeer the largest national park. Lower Saxony's capital Hannover is a great fair city. Here Europe met at the EXPO 2000 and the CEBIT, the biggest computer fair worldwide, attracts every year thousands of visitors. Plan at least half a day in Hannover to see the Herrenhausen Gardens (intricate flowerbed patterns and one of the largest garden fountains in Europe) and walk amidst clean "new German" architecture (almost all of the old city was destroyed by firebombing raids in World War II). Today nearly 60% of the city is preserved as parkland or forest. Goslar about 45 mi/72 km southeast of Hannover (near the former East German border) is home to the Kaiserpfalz which was an emperor's residence; a tour of the structure takes about an hour. Goslar also has many medieval timbered homes that are still standing. Near Goslar is the town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld which has the largest wooden church in Europe. Consider taking a cruise down the Weser River from Hannoversch_Munden to Hameln south of Hannover (arrive at least an hour before the boat leaves Munden to admire the splendid framework art of its buildings). The 90-mi/145-km trip takes about a day passing through the area that inspired legends such as "The Pied Piper of Hameln" and several of Grimm's fairy tales. In Corvey stop to see the 9th-century Benedictine abbey and its glorious frescoes.

It is an old town with a castle that dominates the view. The town itself - apart from the castle is not really interesting. It does have a nice open-air theatre in summer, however. It also has a spa area (Kurpark) and has some of the most beautiful and most extended forested area in Germany. The water of the hot springs in the Kurpark contain sulfur, and are said to have a healing effect on - among other things - skin diseases. Bad Bentheim is very popular with Dutch tourists, who make tours from there into the Teutoberg Forest (Teutoberger Wald) and cities like Münster and Osnabrück. ________Sights Edit This The next time you take a trip, visit Brunswick! Whether it is a day trip or a weekend break - an extended stay or a conference - you are always welcome here. Brunswick, the city of Henry the Lion, is a city that has been developing for over 1,000 years. You can reach out and touch its history. The city`s modern buildings blend attractively with its past, presenting 21st century architecture alongside mediaeval sights. You are invited to stroll through the covered shopping centres that are flooded with light in the extensive pedestrian zone with its elegant boutiques and appealing shops. The lovely green parks in the city centre, the Botanical Gardens and the extensive recreational areas outside the city are perfect to relax in and take a break - Why not let yourself unwind? [add Sight] ::::::::East Frisian Islands Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Lighthouse in winter Lighthouse in winter Martha Appelman The East Frisian Islands are along the German north sea coast like a string of pearls, attracting thousands of visitors and overnight guests every year. From west to east they consist of Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog and Wangerooge. Some of the islands do not allow visitors to bring their motorized vehicles; so do Juist, Baltrum and Spiekeroog; this makes them great for walking and bird-watching. The islands are well-connected by ferries, making them ideal for cyclists' vacations in the sea air.

It is popular for its university with around 22.000 students. _______Getting Around Edit This Market Place Market Place It is not very hard to get around in this rather small town, because most sights, bars, nightclubs, etc. are in walking distance and can be found around the city center (market place). Another option is to ride a bike, what most students in Goettingen do. The bus system is wide spread, so this is another option for travelers to reach the outskirts of the town. And finally there are taxis. Look out for a "PUK-Minicar" (you will have to stop one on the side of the street, because they are not allowed to have a taxi-stand or anything similar), since they have cheaper fares than the regular "white" cabs. _________Nightlife and Entertainment Edit This Because this city is considered a "student-town", there are several bars and nightclubs that draw young crowds. There are several free magazines like "Pony", "Diggla" or "Trends & Fun" that you can find in bars and clubs throughout the city and that give you information about what's going on in the city that month. Contributors June 13, 2005 new by seboslaw (1 point) [Add Entertainment place] Rodeo Bar Edit This The Rodeo Bar is a very nice and stylish bar/club in the center of Goettingen that aims at a crowd older than 21 (no "old" crowd though, either). They are open almost every day a week. Check out the Karaoke-Party on every last Thu in the month. *Best cocktails in town* type: Clubs and dancing World66 rating: [rate it] address: Juedenstrasse email: www.rodeo-bar.de :::::::::Goslar Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see The walkway leading up to the Imperial Palace The walkway leading up to the Imperial Palace Ali Jafri The history of the imperial town of Goslar goes back more than a thousand years - is was founded in 922 by Heinrich (Henry) I. Goslar gained its wealth mainly by mining silver ore: the discovery of the forst silver veins probably moved the Saxon and Salian emperors to build their biggest and safest palace complex on this site. It became the preferred seat of government in the northern part of Germany and remained so for centuries. At the same time a centre of the Christian faith arose here. The oval-shaped heart of the old part of the town was built in a very confined area covering one square kilometre. Drive once to the Kaiserpfalz (imperial palace), where you can enjoy the fascinating view of the mighty palace built in the Romanesque style. With its numerous spires and towers, 47 churches and chapels characterize the town's unique silhouette. Even today, the view of the town with the spires of five big parish churches is impressive. A wonderful natural background is provided by the Rammelsberg, more than 600 metres high, towering up directly behind the palace. The former ore mine there was only closed in 1988. This and the medieval old part of the town have been on the "UNESCO List of the Cultural and Natural Heritage of Mankind" since 1992. All ways are short in the old part of the town. Going down "Hoher Weg" the visitor first passes the Grosses Heiliges Kreuz, a hospice dating from the Middle Ages. Shortly after that he is already in the centre and sees an impressive market square with the Gothic town hall and the splended guild house "Kaiserworth". Something of an adventure are the many narrow and still cobbled lanes and alleys in the old part of the town, where every house tells its own story. Secluded corners are waiting to be discovered. :::::::Hameln Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see pied piper pied piper voltaire medina Hameln - the famous town of the Pied Piper legend is situated about 50 km south west of Hannover, the state capital of Lower Saxony in the North of the Federal Republic of Germany. As well as the German name "Hameln" the town is also known as "Hamelin" and "Hamlin" to the English speaking world. Located in the centre of the Weserbergland, Hamlen economically important and a nice tourist attraction. This hilly region extends on both sides of the river Weser from its source (where the rivers Fulda and Werra meet) from the town of Hannoversch Münden down to the region of Minden. The Pied Piper's town has about 59.000 inhabitants, about 30% of whom live in the 12 associated boroughs. The town hosts some 2 million day visitors per year and over 200.000 visitors per year who stay overnight. In the carefully reconstructed old town centre you can admire the numerous Weser Renaissance-style buildings - for example the Rattenfängerhaus, or Pied Piper’s house originally built in 1602/3, the Dempterhaus dating from 1607/8, the Leisthaus from 1585-89 and the Hochzeitshaus from 1610-17. ::::::::::::Hannover Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see The "U" of Hannover The "U" of Hannover laudia1975-Laurentiu Hannover (engl. Hanover), formerly sharing the king with the British Empire and today the City of Trade Fairs - including CeBIT, the biggest IT-Fair of all - was host to the first World Exposition that took place in Germany and the first of the new Millenium. During the time of the EXPO 2000 the capital of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) welcomed 20 million visitors from all over the world. But apart from the EXPO, which was certainly a point of main interest, Hannover has a lot to offer to the visitor. A modern city, it's also rich in tradition, its beautiful gardens, municipal and royal parks worth visiting, and a university capital with important cultural centres, excellent shopping facilities, remarkable events of both national and international importance. The Schuetzenfest every summer rivals Munich's Oktoberfest. Since 1947 Hannover has been the city of trade fairs. At first glance, Hannover seems easy to grasp. However, there are quite a few quarters worth a closer look, i.e. the surviving buildings from the time of the monarchy, the idyllic green areas where you can relax and enjoy nature, and the culturally diverse quarters which are delightful to explore. The nightlife of Hannover is also rich and diverse. Travel: Langenhagen Airport, railway hub, autobahn hub. :::::::::: Harz Mountains Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see The Harz Mountains in the South of Lower Saxony, are popular for skiing, snowboarding and hiking. The lowlands to the north of the Harz are gently undulating having lush green pastures that support cattle. Dense forests are scattered around the farmlands in which neat and charming villages nestle. Compared to the Alps the mountains in the Harz are neither high, nor rugged, but the forested slopes are peaceful and provide an overwhelming sense of separation from the busy cities of the north. Goslar is an ancient city that retains a provincial feeling yet is home to elegant hotels and ancient buildings that echo its royal past. :::::::::Hornburg Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Luthern Church,Hornburg3 Luthern Church,Hornburg3 Cjay Spanbauer Hornburg is an old city, first mentioned in 994. It can be easily reached by car, when you travel from Braunschweig to Bad Ischl on the Autobahn 395. You can buy a really old house in this city. The castle, partly destroyed by the Swedes in 1648, was once the dominant structure in the town. Now only the walls and the guard towers are visible from a distance. The castle is privately owned and sadly the public is not allowed to enter. Apart from the Museum there seems to be few places for tourists to visit, but the real attraction is in the beauty of the half timbered houses, the shops and public buildings and these make it well worth a visit. Goslar about 40 km distant has excellent Hotels and is a good base from which to explore the northern Harz region. ::::::: Luneburg Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Lüneburg, located southeast of Hamburg, is the main economic and administrative centre for the region of northeastern Lower-Saxony. Since the city is directly connected with the A250 highway, the drive to Hamburg is only half an hour by car or train. The region of Lüneburg grows by some 2000 people every year. Soon, the city of Lüneburg will reach 70.000 inhabitants. For German people the name Lüneburg is closely associated with the term Heide (heather). This association is correct, it really exists here, the "Lüneburger Heide". In spite of its name, the exceptional heather landscape is only approximately half an hour drive away from the city. However, beautiful and interesting things can also be found in the city Lüneburg itself. The city's fame and former wealth is due to the "white gold" of the Middle Ages - salt. Many parts of the picturesque historic Old Town (Altstadt) show signs of that former time, and are well worth seeing. ::::::::::Wolfenbüttel Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see x The wooden Castle of Wolfenbüttel Werner Müller A city next to Braunschweig, the city of Lessing. It has the World's largest medieval library. |
