Gorleben

Geographically, Gorleben lies on the edge of the Wendland region and borders on the Elbhöhen-Wendland Nature Park. The region is characterised by its unspoilt nature - forests, rivers and lakes characterise the surrounding area.

Tourists can discover a variety of sights here. Trips to the historic town of Dannenberg or Wolfshagen Castle are particularly popular. The artists' village of Hitzacker should not be missed either.

Cultural highlights can be found especially during the annual "Wendland Music Festival", which takes place in summer and is a must for all music lovers. Another highlight is the traditional Easter market in Lüchow, where you can admire regional handicrafts.

The region also has much to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the famous asparagus from the Wendland or enjoy fresh fish directly from the fisherman on the banks of the Elbe.

Visitors can also enjoy various outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or canoeing on the Jeetzel or Elbe. In winter, there is also skiing on the nearby Höhbeck.

If it rains, it is worth visiting the Hitzacker Archaeological Centre with its interesting exhibitions on the history of the region, as well as the Salt Museum in Lüneburg.

It is most beautiful in Gorleben in spring and summer, when nature awakens and everything turns green. But autumn with its colourful leaves also provides a breathtaking backdrop for walks or bike rides through the forests.

Gorleben is definitely worth a visit - discover this unspoilt region of Germany for yourself and let its beauty enchant you!
