Discover the region

The city is best known for its railway station, which was designed by the famous architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The colourful building with its unusual shapes and patterns attracts thousands of visitors every year.

Besides the station, there are many other sights to discover. The 16th-century town hall impresses with its magnificent façade and historic council chamber. The Salzwedeler Tor is the last surviving town gate from the Middle Ages.

Cultural highlights include the theatre on the Ilmenau and the Herzog-Ernst-Museum with a collection of works by the artist Ernst Barlach.

The regional cuisine provides culinary delights with specialities such as kale or asparagus dishes in spring. A brewery tour at the local brewery is also worthwhile.

Outdoor activities can be carried out in different ways depending on the season: In summer, a canoe trip on the Ilmenau River or a trip to the nearby Drömling Nature Park is a good idea; in winter, you can enjoy ice skating on the frozen lakes or skiing in the Harz Mountains.

Even if it rains, there is plenty to do in Uelzen. Visit the Hundertwasser Railway Station Museum or take a guided city tour through the historic streets.

Overall, Uelzen is definitely worth a visit and offers something for everyone. This travel guide will help you get to know all the highlights of the city and make your stay unforgettable!
