Uslar

Geographically, Uslar and Northeim lie idyllically on the edge of the Solling, a low mountain range in the Weserbergland. The landscape is characterised by rolling hills and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. It is particularly beautiful here in spring, when everything blossoms and greens.

But the two towns also have a lot to offer culturally: In Uslar, it is worth visiting the historic town hall from the 16th century as well as the St. Johannis Church with its impressive altarpiece by Lucas Cranach the Elder. The local history museum also provides insights into the history of the region.

In Northeim, you should definitely visit the medieval half-timbered ensemble around Münsterplatz and make a detour to the "Tabakspeicher" museum - here you can learn all about the formerly important tobacco industry in the region.

Those who like to try culinary specialities will find what they are looking for in Uslar: Lamb specialities have been prepared here for centuries - many guests are particularly fond of the "Uslar sheep chop". But hearty stews and sausages are also very popular here. In Northeim you should definitely visit the "Northeim Asparagus Weeks" in spring - here you can find all kinds of delicacies around the royal vegetable.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, a visit to the Jägerhof thermal baths in Uslar or a trip to the cinema in Northeim is a good idea. A guided tour of the historic old towns is also recommended in rainy weather.

But Uslar and Northeim are particularly beautiful in summer: then numerous open-air events take place, such as the "Uslar Music Festival" or the "Northeim Town Festival". And those who like to be out and about can enjoy nature on the many hiking trails around both towns.

Overall, Uslar and Northeim are definitely worth a trip for all those who want to experience something away from mass tourism. Hopefully our travel guide has whetted your appetite for these two charming towns!
