The area around the lake is simply beautiful, and the kiosk with its large terrace offers everything your heart desires. And card payments are accepted!

Meadow for demonstrating an old technique for improving hay harvesting. There are boards with explanations and a covered rest area. Unfortunately, the rest area is also popular with smokers and is full of cigarette butts!

A place where political debates can get not only heated, but sometimes funny. In the Hösseringen state parliament, there is of course also a "cheese faction" that vehemently advocates the promotion of local cheeses, while the "waffle party" claims that sweet waffles are the true heart of the nation. Sometimes the discussions escalate and heated debates break out about whether a waffle can be topped with cheese or not. The sessions in the Hösseringen state parliament are not only dominated by political issues, however. There are also many curious traditions, such as the annual cheese throwing championship, in which the MPs prove their accuracy with cheese wheels. And of course the obligatory "waffle round" at the end of every session is not to be missed, in which the politicians exchange ideas about the day's events over fresh waffles and coffee. All in all, the Hösseringen State Parliament is not only a place for political decision-making, but also a place of laughter, community and enjoyment – because who says that politics can’t be fun?

Floodplain meadows serve an ecological function by providing habitats for various plant and animal species. Some floodplain meadows are deliberately created as wetlands and can support a variety of waterfowl, insects and other creatures.

The landscape of the Hardau consists mainly of wetlands, including moors, swamps and meadows. These habitats provide a habitat for many rare plant and animal species, including various orchid species, dragonflies, rare birds such as the black stork and crane, and amphibians such as the moor frog. So if you are ready for an adventure full of laughter, amazement and maybe a few inexplicable incidents, then the Hardau near Uelzen is the place to be!

The history of the castle dates back to the 16th century, when it was built by the von Cramm family. Over the centuries, the castle changed hands several times and was rebuilt and expanded several times.

A shelter with a bench and table invites you to take a covered break. There are also benches outside. If you take a short walk around the Rieselwiese, an opened Riesling will still be sparkling 🥂 😉
