In the Rhododendron Park, more than 600 species and over 3,000 varieties of rhododendrons and azaleas transform the 46-hectare park into an extraordinary sea of colour between April and June. This collection of plants, unique in mainland Europe, has always been a major attraction. The months of May and June are traditionally regarded as the main flowering periods for rhododendrons.
The green heart of Bremen. Together with the neighbouring city forest, it covers an area of 202 hectares. The varied oasis offers plenty of opportunities to relax, go for a walk, eat ice cream, play or go rowing. In spring, with a bit of luck, the animal enclosures will be home to some cute offspring. There are little pigs, sheep and deer, for example, who are always happy to receive a visit.
The Lüneburg Heath offers a varied, multifaceted and exciting nature experience that is unique in Europe. If you like peace and quiet, one of the many heath villages is just the place for you. With rustic farms and historic farmsteads, in some places time seems to have stood still here. Experience the forest, moor and heathland on one of the many cycling and hiking trails or visit the famous Heidschnucken, a local breed of sheep, for example in the Schnuckendorf Neuenkirchen. For a stroll, Lüneburg and Celle are very close to the holiday resorts in the Heath.
