O estado federal da Baixa Saxônia, cuja capital regional é Hannover, localiza-se na charmosa região entre os rios Ems e Elba, de leste a oeste, e da costa do Mar do Norte às montanhas Harz, de norte a sul. As sete ilhas do leste da Frísia se alinham como pérolas de um colar diante da costa do Mar do Norte, cada uma das quais reconhecida como sendo um resort de tratamento no Mar do Norte, com estilo próprio, e excelente destino de férias e spa.

Lower Saxony in the north-west of Germany covers a wide variety of landscapes and habitats, from the North Sea coast and offshore islands to Lüneburg Heath and the Harz mountains.

The towns and cities of Lower Saxony are as diverse as its scenery. There are romantic harbour towns such as Greetsiel, old-established university towns such as Göttingen, the international trade fair destination of Hannover, and Wolfsburg, home to VW's ground-breaking Autostadt exhibition complex and visitor centre.

Lower Saxony is a region full of contrasting scenery, from the coastal mudflats to the Harz mountains. Its incredible countryside provides the setting for an unforgettable experience for keen walkers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts and riders, in particular.
