Famed as one of the key centres of operation for the legendary Berlin Airlift, Fassberg is a tranquil little town in Lower Saxony. The excellent Fassberg Airlift Museum has long fascinated military history buffs. Outdoorsy travellers, however, will also be drawn to the area’s verdant natural beauty, and the abundance of activities available in spring and summer. Step off the beaten track with a few nights at one of the best places to stay in Fassberg as a couple, or with friends and family.
The nearby Südheide Nature Park will delight keen ramblers and cyclists, who will find myriad well-marked trails through undulating fields and forests. Take a guided walk to spot the park’s bird life, or to delve into the biodiversity of the region’s flora. Canoeing or kayaking on the Örtze River is another spring and summer highlight, and great fun for the whole family. Eager golfers, on the other hand, will find picturesque courses in Celle and Soltau.
Culture aficionados will be curious to see the ancient heath monasteries of Südheide, as well as the Museum Village Hösseringen, and the impressive collections of folkloric artefacts at the Bomann Museum. The castle of Celle, which dates back more than 900 years, is exceptional — and hosts fantastic theatrical productions. Speak to the team at one of the best places to stay in Fassberg about guided cultural walks, too — there’s plenty to see in the area!
