And it’s not just children who are drawn to the water – a relaxing spot by the lake or a stretch of beach make for a great family getaway. Niedersachsen has both in bucketloads and spades!
Along the North Sea coast of Niedersachsen, the options are many and varied: the coastal towns and East Frisian Islands offer wide, fine sandy beaches and are well set up for holidays with children. But even away from the coast, there are surprisingly many inviting waterside destinations you might not expect – hidden gems for those who find the journey to the seaside a bit too far.
