Romantics love the state of Lower Saxony: seemingly endless North Sea beaches await here, along with cities full of history and culture, fascinating moorland landscapes and, of course, the legendary mountains of the Harz. Whether you prefer to take time out in the countryside for two or experience the atmosphere of historic old towns - our Romantik® Hotels fulfil a wide variety of holiday dreams.

Lower Saxony doesn’t feel like a single destination – it’s a collection of completely different landscapes. Sometimes rugged and maritime, sometimes soft and green, sometimes mystical and mountainous. Between the North Sea and the Harz Mountains lie worlds you don’t just visit – you experience.

North Sea Coast & East Frisian Islands – salt in the air

Here, the sea sets the pace. Tides, wind, endless horizons. The Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is both stage and refuge. On the East Frisian Islands, life slows down: car-free, barefoot, horizon-expanding. Dunes instead of deadlines.

East Frisia & Elbe-Weser Triangle – flat, quiet, relaxed

Canals, dikes, tiny harbors, and a lot of sky. East Frisia isn’t about rushing – it’s about tea, conversation, and long bike rides. In the Elbe-Weser region, marshlands and moors meet a uniquely northern calm that you don’t plan – it simply happens.

Lüneburg Heath – a quiet icon

The Heath is well-known – yet always surprising. In late summer, when the fields glow violet, the landscape feels almost surreal. In between: sheep, sandy paths, open space. At any time of year, it’s a place to breathe and let go.

Weser Uplands – stories between hills

Gentle hills, forests, half-timbered houses, and castles. The Weser Uplands whisper their stories along hiking trails, bike paths, or drifting along the river. Magical, without being kitschy.

Harz Mountains – wild, mystical, real

The Harz shows Lower Saxony with edges and character. Dense forests, fog, clear streams, and the Brocken standing silently. In summer, an outdoor playground; in winter, a retreat. A place that demands respect – and gives peace.

Hanover & Braunschweig – urban, green, surprising

City life meets nature. Hanover offers lakes, parks, and short paths to greenery. Braunschweig combines history, science, and culture. Both cities prove that impact doesn’t need volume.

Emsland & Bentheim – wide open spaces with character

Here, the horizon stretches. Moors, rivers, old farms, and plenty of room for thought. Bentheim adds castles, forests, and a touch of the Netherlands. Calm. Refreshing.

Heath, Moors & Inland – Lower Saxony off the radar

Away from the usual routes lies perhaps the truest Lower Saxony: moors, forests, fields, almost no traffic, and plenty of time. No spectacle – yet all the more special. Those who arrive here often stay longer than planned.

Lower Saxony isn’t a place for checklists.

It’s a place for space, calm, nature, and small discoveries – for those who don’t want everything at once, but exactly the right experience.
