Head for the hills
==================

**Unforgettable experiences at higher altitudes**

 

**Walking in Niedersachsen? Why not? Whether in the Harz Mountains National Park or the TERRA.vita Nature and UNESCO Geopark, both summit treks and long-distance hikes await.**

The Weser Uplands, with the Deister and Süntel ranges, Ith and Hils hills, or the Solling-Vogler Nature Park in southern Niedersachsen, also call for laced-up walking boots and a sense of adventure. Prefer two wheels? You’ll find plenty of challenging routes here too. And in winter, the slopes offer excellent skiing and tobogganing.
