Garden art in Hanover, wildlife watching in Springe and trails through protected nature: the Hannover Region offers a range of options for planning your trip. First decide what interests you most. This will help you search for a hotel more purposefully, without combining the different destinations into a fixed itinerary.
Garden Art and Excursions in Hanover
The Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover consist of the Great Garden, the Berggarten, the Georgengarten and the Welfengarten. The Berggarten in Herrenhausen developed from a vegetable and nursery garden into a botanical garden. This gives it a distinctive garden history, alongside the variety of the four gardens.
Interactive digital garden rallies and themed excursions offer various ways to explore the gardens. As digital offerings can change, it is worth checking the latest information before your visit. If garden art and gardens are your main priorities when planning your trip, the Herrenhausen Gardens are a specific starting point for choosing activities.
Wildlife and Nature Around Springe and Mardorf
At Wisentgehege Springe, you can discover and learn about more than 300 wild animals. Bus routes 382 and 385 serve the entrance to Wisentgehege or the Abzweig Wisentgehege stop. Check the routes and timetables before travelling so you can plan your journey to this destination.
Mardorf offers a different focus: in this officially recognized health resort, a five-kilometre lakeside path invites you to take a walk. The nearby Tote Moor is one of the important protected areas and provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The path and the nature reserve appeal to different interests—walking and learning about the importance of protected landscapes.
Lake Steinhude, the Park of the Senses and Outdoor Activities
Lake Steinhude is in the Hannover Region and is the largest inland body of water in northwestern Germany. It is particularly well known for its opportunities for watersports and holidays. If water activities are important to your trip, you can take this into account alongside garden and nature experiences when planning.
In Laatzen, the Park of the Senses brings the four elements—air, water, fire and earth—to life through experiences involving sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. At its centre is the Valley of Butterflies: lush perennials, shrub roses and flowering shrubs provide a habitat for butterflies, bees, bumblebees and other insects. The Wietzepark offers different activities: hiking, cycling, beach volleyball, boules and football; fishing is also possible there under certain conditions.
Another way to experience animals is at Erlebnis-Zoo Hanover. Its themed worlds offer up-close encounters with animals from around the world. Together, these destinations show how varied a stay in the region can be, with a focus on gardens, nature and wildlife, or outdoor activities.
Search for a Hotel Based on Your Travel Interests
When searching for a hotel in the Hannover Region, it helps to decide on your main focus in advance. The Herrenhausen Gardens, Wisentgehege Springe, Mardorf and the other destinations mentioned provide specific points of reference for your choice. Then check the location given for an offer and compare it with the activities that matter to you. The name of the region alone does not tell you which location best suits your plans.
