Arme Ritter (French Toast)

“Arme Ritter” (French toast) is a typical and extremely popular dish from Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). It’s the perfect snack for hungry tummies as it’s so easy to whip up. All you need to do is soak some slices of stale bread in milk and fry them in a pan with some egg, making sure the bread is coated with it. We recommend serving the toast up with sweet fruit.

Hamelin - The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Probably the most famous Lower Saxon fairy tale character is the Pied Piper. The Brothers Grimm story, in which a pied piper lured children out of the town forever in 1284 in revenge for unpaid wages, is still ever-present in Hamelin today. The Pied Piper festivals in summer and the city museum, where the story of the Pied Piper is brought to life, are well worth a visit.
