Lower Saxony Region What to Expect

Buchholz is located close to Hamburg which makes it an ideal spot for a week-end trip from Hamburg. Several restaurants and cafes offer delicious regional food for reasonable prices.
If you want to enjoy the unique landscape of the surrounding heathland you won't be disappointed by the offer of walkings tracks.
If you are interested in butterflies, just take a visit to the Alaris butterfly park. It's worth a visit!

If you are in the Hamburg area, make the effort ot visit Stade. There is a fantastically preserved old town, easily covered by foot with some great little gift shops. Combine the visit with a drive into the 'Altes Land', an area of great expanses of fruit tress and huge half timebered farmhouses. A real unknown area.

Celle is a small town in northern Germany. It is a fantastic century-old german town that is dominated by those old, classic 'ginger bread' style houses and cobble stone streets. There are plaenty of places to stay and the food, beer and atmosphere is brilliant.

I'm a Hanoverian lady and quite a sight to see, no? ;-) and it's only one hour to Hamburg resp. one hour and a half to Berlin. Plus, we've got ancient history that links us to the brits - from Hanover to London by plane in about one hour... and back to the 17th history. Some George the ... was king of Hanover and the nowadays U.K. - that's why we got the Royal Gardens here, worth seeing. And the "Welfenschloss" (George was one of them) - which is now the main University. Disclaimer: Don't pin me against the wall if the historical facts aren't perfectly accurate. Thanks for your understanding and come and visit!
P.S.: If anyone from abroad wants to learn german or study in Germany - Hanover is the place to be: Wir sprechen Hochdeutsch :-)

Hannover is not a normal German city. Largely destroyed in the war most of Hannover is fairly bland. There are great parks and lakes where you can skate or cycle or whatever for km's. Good shopping in city centre for the babes, and of course it has the Messe which has gotta be one of the largest fair grounds in the world.

Like any other city in Germany, Hannover is a good place and stop to take. Loads of greenery to absorb the people are friendly [ dont be fooled by te hard exteria] A must stop is the animal sactuary up on the mountains and plaease leave a donation the animals there really need all the support. Public transportation [ like it is everywhere in Germany] is very good so you will never be lost or destitute
