Maschsee

Reviewed By EvaF2Eva - Weissenburg in Bayern, Germany

I enjoyed very much my time spent at Maschsee although weather was not the best for outdoor activities. It is an artificial lake in a walking distance from the city center, suitable for all possible free time activities. It was built in 30th last century and one can identify sign of it. Especially the colummn with Olympic torch runner on its top takes a breath away and scare a bit at the other hand knowing in what intention such monuments were built and what followed. Anyway it makes this place not only recreation area but also historical place worth a more research.

Hameln Old Town

Reviewed By 652keithl - Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

I have been to Hameln many times now and each time I just fall in love with the area all over again, take a gentle stroll through the streets and admire the architecture of the surrounding buildings and read about the history of the Town and the Pied Piper, then sit back and relax in one of the many bars and watch the world go buy. A real gem of a place.
