Hannover [ Back
to Homepage ][ Bulletin
Board ] Featured Sponsor Plan at least half a day in its capital, 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.
