Travel to Germany: Lower Saxony

Germany is rightly considered to be a country of fabulous old castles. In the north of the country lies the federal state of Lower Saxony. The place on which it is located is a plain stretching between the North Sea and the massif of mountains.

Arriving in Lower Saxony, every tourist is obliged to visit the very center of the county lands, in Hanover. It combines historical sights and modern architecture. Districts of the city are called - "old" and "new" city. The capital of Saxony for centuries struggled for economic and cultural recognition. Today Hanover is considered the largest exhibition city in Germany and the musical capital of northern Europe. Travelers around the city are very convenient to travel: from the central station Hauptbahnhof begins a "red thread" - a route that encompasses 36 major city attractions. Among them you can see the famous "Wind Rose", which indicates the distance from Hanover to the largest cities in the world, Colon of Waterloo of the Tuscan order, dedicated to the battle with Napoleon in 1815, the Gothic church of Marktkirche and other equally impressive places.

Lower Saxony is not only Germany's second-largest federal land, but also a huge storehouse of historical and cultural attractions, surrounded by many natural parks, large areas of wasteland and marshes.

The incredibly beautiful picturesque nature of Germany with its extraordinary mountain scenery, hovering above the clouds, was the reason for the creation and distribution of interesting stories. One of the legends is dedicated to the Harz Mountains: it has long been believed that this is the meeting place of witches and witches flocking in the spring to spoil crops. To prevent their visit, the locals conduct a traditional carnival, which is called Walpurgis Night. May 1 Lower Saxony turns into a residence of costumed witches. That is why for lovers of mystical events, carnivals, ancient windmills, medieval monasteries, castles and town halls, the best place for a spring voyage is Lower Saxony.

Germany and in the autumn will please tourists with its bright violet landscapes. At this time of year, it is best to visit the Lüneburg Heath. The territory of the country's oldest reserve is decorated with evergreen juniper bushes and a huge heath carpet with bees fluttering over it. In addition to the flowering fields in the nature park, you can hear a bird choir performed by pheasants, larks, quail and snipe. In the forest space, you can meet hares, wild boars, deer and other animals.

But not only the Lüneburg Wasteland attracts tourists to northern Germany. This is a country whose inhabitants are fighting for the safety of the beauty of their nature and cultural monuments. Here it is customary to restore not only medieval castles, but also ancient dams. So, on the land of Lower Saxony, on the dam of the river Oker decided to build a glass and steel two-story hotel. The idea of the designers is to make this hotel the most ecological in the country.
