Hümmling Nature Park

Rolling hills, extensive forests, valuable cultural heritage - the Hümmling Nature Park in Emsland has all this, embedded in the North German plain, criss-crossed by small waterways and interspersed with evidence of the megalithic culture during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

Asparagus

Home-grown asparagus is a popular choice in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). The regional produce is eaten between the middle of April and the end of June. Traditionally, asparagus is served with schnitzel and home-grown potatoes, with brown butter and Hollandaise sauce as the perfect finishing touches. The water used to cook the vegetables can be turned into a cream of asparagus soup and served as a delicious starter.
