Elbe

Touristically relevant sights are Wolfenbüttel Castle, which was an important site of the Enlightenment and now serves as a museum. The Lessinghaus, where Gotthold Ephraim Lessing lived, is also worth a visit. For art lovers, there is also the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum with an impressive collection of European works of art.

Cultural highlights are the annual festivals such as the Culture Festival or the Christmas Market in the old town. Here you can enjoy regional specialities such as Braunschweiger Mumme or enjoy the famous asparagus from the region.

Outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In summer, a hike through the Elm is a good idea, or even a bike ride along the river Oker. In winter, on the other hand, the ice rink on the market square is a great place to go skating.

Elbe also has a lot to offer when it rains: The municipal museum shows interesting exhibitions on the history of the city as well as changing special exhibitions. Those who enjoy swimming will also find several bathing establishments here, such as the Okeraue indoor swimming pool.

But it is most beautiful in the evening when the illuminated half-timbered houses of the old town create a romantic atmosphere. A walk along the river Oker or a visit to one of the cosy restaurants and pubs rounds off the day perfectly.

Elbe, Wolfenbüttel is definitely worth a visit - whether for a day trip or a longer stay. With this travel guide, you are well prepared and can look forward to many unforgettable experiences!
