Delmenhorst

Delmenhorst has about 75,000 inhabitants and is conveniently located in northern Germany between Oldenburg and Bremen. Delmenhorst is a green city with countless activities for young and old. The city also offers a wide selection of restaurants covering cuisine from all over the world.

One of the city's landmarks is the 44-metre-high water tower, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view of Delmenhorst and the green area surrounding the city. The water tower was built back in 1910 as part of the town hall complex and it supplied citizens with water until the end of 2010.

If you're bringing the little ones on holiday, a visit to the GraftTherme water park is a must, offering hours of fun and relaxation for the whole family. There is a slide for older children and a separate area for younger children. For the adults, there are swimming lanes, while the leisure pool also offers a lovely wellness area where you can relax and enjoy a massage, for example. In summer, there are outdoor pools and a green area where you can soak up the sun. In short, there's entertainment for all ages and the pool is sure to be a hit with the youngest.

Delmenhorst is a very green city and therefore there is also a focus on enjoying the beautiful nature. In the summer you can hire pedalos and small boats to cruise the town's many waterways. This is a different and alternative way to explore the town's areas, but you will love the scenic areas from the water and the idyllic tranquillity that surrounds you.

Universe

Universum is a large science centre with over 250 exhibitions where you can learn about all kinds of things. The exciting thing is that the 250 exhibits require you to "play" with them yourself. See if you can generate enough power for a light bulb, try the lie detector, experience an earthquake and much more! An educational and fun day ahead!

Herdentor Mill

The iconic mill of Bremen, which has existed since 1898, is located on a rampart that secured the old Bremen. This has a special place in the hearts of the people of Bremen. In fact, there used to be 6 mills at the ramparts and this is the only one that has survived thanks to a lot of luck.

If you go on a mini holiday near Bremen, you can visit the mill and see that today coffee is ground in the mill and not flour as in the past. In addition, today there is also a restaurant and café in the mill.

Wildeshauser Geest

The beautiful Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park, located south of Bremen, is an ideal area for hiking, horse riding and cycling. The nature park covers 1500 square kilometres and is the largest nature reserve in Lower Saxony and one of the largest in Germany. The unique nature of this region is protected and preserved and has a well-developed and well-marked network of hiking and biking trails for visitors. This makes nature easily accessible and provides a good setting for experiences.
