I’m not much into visiting cities or countries for that matter. If there is one place I would like to visit and spend some time there is the city my son is in right now. It is in the heart of Lower Saxony, central Germany. It is located on the Leine River, about 60 miles south of Hannover.
I’ve been there before but it was a quick trip and we didn’t spend much time there. The Leine River looked picturesque and the park seemed calm and serene. It is a university town and you see students all over the place. If you’re driving, pay attention to the cyclists! There are plenty of them and they have right of way.
Other than that, it just seemed like a nice city for a weekend trip. Lots of nice restaurants and a city center with lots of shops as well. However, I would stay away from the Bahnhof Viertal, the train station at night. Too many weird types hanging out there and I wouldn’t recommend taking a light stroll rather make it a quick one!
My son seems to love it, I suppose there is plenty to do for young people. The usual university town atmosphere of night clubs, bars, fast food places and hangouts.
My reason for wanting to spend some time there is to find out why he loves it there. Exactly the same reason as to why he doesn’t want me there for more than a few hours!
