Lower Saxony, with about 48,000 square kilometers and about 8 million inhabitants the second largest federal state in Germany has a lot to offer:

The country disposes of an attractive scenery between river Ems and the river Elbe, the mountaintops of the Harz and the ocean-going climate of the North Sea.
Scenery of Lower Saxony is as diverse as no second federal state.
More than 1/5 of the country still exists of forest area.
Begin your golf vacation, e.g., on the East Frisian islands  Norderney or Langeoog.
Wide white beaches, low tide and flood, dunes and even more sunshine than somewhere else in the country.
We continue to East Friesland, the country behind the dike, hideaway of the famous pirate Klaus Störtebecker, with in Dutch seeming towns and the highest tea consumption of the federal republic.

To the south of East Friesland the Emsland stretches down on the Dutch border, which was still inaccessible 100 years ago in wide shares: Next to it: the Oldenburger Münsterland, once a poor farm country has yet developed to an impressive golf region - in good neighborhood to Osnabrück, the town of the Westphalian peace in the Teutoburger Forest.
From the old principality Schaumburg-Lippe, to the rat-catcher's town of Hameln stretches the Weser mountainous country to Hannoversch Münden.
The legends and stories around the German fairy tale flow have written down by the brothers Grimm in Goettingen.
In immediate neighborhood to Goettingen is the Golfresort Hardenberg which possesses the probably most stunning golf hole on a german course, as one of their island green on the "Niedersachsen Course" is shaped as a wild boar head, the crest of the Hardenberg Dynasty. Â

From witches the stories act in the Harz, the mountains of Lower Saxony. Where once German emperors were founded a Kaiserpfalz, now half-timbered towns and magic woods draw the tourists attention.
Beyond that the Lüneburger Heath landscape is situated. Eponym of the town Lüneburg, that became rich in the Middle Ages with trading the "white gold": salt.
Discovered only 100 years ago as a recreation area, the heath area lay long apart on the border to the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) and remained till this day sandy, idyllic and full of solitude.
Meanwhile the "Lüneburger Heide" (heath area) is now one of the most popular regions for golf vacation in Germany.

The tour continues with the small federal state of Bremen which is right in the mid-west of Lower Saxony. Back over the river Weser to the university town Oldenburg.
The so called region "Oldenburger Land" reaches from the Münsterland to Wilhelmshaven, the biggest harbour of the country.
Also for the golfer who would rather like to spend the night in his own caravan, camper or even "only" in the tent Lower Saxony offers a choice of more than 300 camping places.

Don´t miss out this federal state on your trip along the "Deutsche Golf Strasse".
