Hardegsen

Geographically, both towns are located in the region of southern Lower Saxony, surrounded by rolling hills and green forests. The landscape is characterised by rivers such as the Leine and the Sollingbach as well as numerous lakes and ponds. Particularly beautiful to look at here are the blossoming fruit trees in spring or the colourful foliage on the trees in autumn.

A highlight for all those interested in culture is undoubtedly Hardeg Castle on the outskirts of the town of Hardegsen. It was built as early as the 13th century and today houses a museum with an impressive collection of historical works of art from various eras.

Northeim also has a lot to offer culturally: Here, for example, you will find the medieval half-timbered ensemble around the market square or also the Gothic hall church of St. Sixti from the 14th century.

Those who like to be active will be delighted with the many outdoor activities: Whether hiking on well-marked paths through idyllic meadow and forest landscapes or cycling along the Leineradweg - there are many opportunities for exercise in the fresh air. An excursion to the Solling-Vogler Nature Park, which stretches south of Northeim, is also highly recommended. Here you can explore the unspoilt nature of the low mountain range on extensive hikes.

In terms of cuisine, the region is particularly well known for its hearty specialities such as kale with pinkel or knipp. But gourmets don't miss out here either: in Hardegsen, for example, there is a restaurant that perfectly combines regional ingredients and modern cuisine.

And what to do if the weather is bad? No worries - we have an idea for that too: How about a visit to the cinema in Northeim or a relaxing wellness treatment at the local spa?

In conclusion, Hardegsen and Northeim may be small towns, but they still have a lot to offer. If you are looking for an authentic insight into life away from the big tourist crowds, you will certainly find it here!
