Nature Park Moor-Veenland

Not a lake, but not dry land either: a moor is a unique, almost exotic habitat. It sounds different, it smells different and it looks completely different from all other landscapes in Europe.

Market Church

The Marktkirche church, which was first mentioned in official records in the 12th century, is the most iconic building in Goslar’s Old Town.

Shopping on Zedeliusstraße

Asparagus

Asparagus harvesting takes place from mid-April to late June. During this time, you can savour the flavour of German asparagus, also known as the “King of Vegetables”, in Niedersachsen. Asparagus can be boiled, steamed or pan-fried and is low in calories as it consists of 90% water and just 0.2% fat. It is rich in calcium, vitamin E and potassium, which are good for the nervous system and blood pressure. In traditional German food, asparagus tastes great with schnitzel and potatoes. Finish with brown butter and Hollandaise sauce for authentic German food.
