Culin­ary De­lights


Experience Holiday Destination Niedersachsen with all your senses. Do sample the cuisine of the individual regions.

Niedersachsen has such a wide range of regional specialities. Depending on which region of Niedersachsen you go to, you’ll also find differences in the people. Whether you opt for Lüneburg Heath potatoes, asparagus or apples and cherries from the Altes Land region, whether East Frisian tea or the Braunschweiger Mumme malty extract, whether Heidschnucke mutton or local wild game – Niedersachsen’s specialities are so delicious they’re sure to win you over.

Every season has its own particular taste. Whether it’s pumpkin in the autumn or kale in the winter, there are plenty of seasonal treats to look forward to.

Why not take a trip to where these culinary specialities are produced, so you can sample them on the spot? Discover the Niedersächsische Milchstrasse (Niedersachsen Milk Routes) by bicycle, for example. Or explore the Spargelstrasse (Asparagus Route) from April to June, starting from Burgdorf near Hanover: you can buy fresh asparagus from the fields along the route, or order some in one of the many inns – delicious!
