Wellness & Beauty – a Land Full of Health Spas
With all its diversity, Northern Germany’s largest federal
state expands from the fl at North Sea coast with
its distinctive East Frisian islands and the UNESCO
World Natural Heritage of the Wadden Sea, across
mire landscapes and the Lüneburger Heide to the hilly
Weserbergland and Germany’s most northern low
mountain range, the Harz.
These different areas make Niedersachsen the perfect place for
travel ling and leaving every-day life behind you to breathe deeply
and “decelerate”. Take a walk on the dyke or the tideland on the
North Sea coast, go on a bicycle trip across the fl atter regions such
as the Osnabrücker Land, Lüneburger Heide or Ostfriesland, or do
a hiking tour in the hilly Weserbergland or the mountainous Harz –
these various activities have a regenerating effect on your body and
soul. Canoe trips on the many idyllic rivers and streams, or golfi ng
on more than 80 courses – Niedersachsen promises enjoyment
of nature without limits!
But it is not only the richness of nature that invites you to explore
the area. The towns of Niedersachsen distinguish themselves by
means of their different characters: during a visit to historical timber-
frame towns such as Celle, Hameln or Goslar, places coined
by the Middle Ages such as Lüneburg or Braunschweig, and
fast-moving metropolises such as Hannover, Wolfsburg or Osnabrück,
you can enjoy the offer of culture and gastronomy, places
of interest and shopping possibilities without the hectic rush.
The spas and health resorts in Niedersachsen give your body, mind
and soul a break. Holiday guests fi nd plenty of opportunities to
breathe deeply, to refuel and gain new strengths. The state of health
spas Niedersachsen presents itself as an oasis of wellbeing. Here the
“I” is in the centre of attention while every-day life with all its facets
disappears into the background.
The offers of the spas and health resorts are extremely diversifi ed.
Here you can achieve great things with small means: for some, brine
is a source of health, others enjoy the healing and extraordinarily
healthy fresh air at the North Sea or the climatic health resorts.
Among others, the “Heilstollen”, i.e. healing cave galleries, and salt
caves have an especially therapeutic climate. The different possibilities
of treatment with natural mire also have a relieving and soothing
effect on a great number of medical conditions. Different kinds of
therapy are offered: compact treatment, outpatient preventive care
and rehabilitation, overall treatment for self-paying patients, mother
and child measures and many more.
With their modern leisure facilities, the health spas have a lively experience
and wellness character, meeting even the highest demands.
But that is not all: therapeutic competence and highly modern equipment
are obligatory. The treatments are laid out for a permanent
and lasting effect. Tradition and modernity harmonise excellently - a
further important plus for the wellness landscape of Niedersachsen.
Enjoy the full healing powers of the North Sea during treatments with
marine substances. A thalasso therapy will recharge your batteries.
Water is the best medication - algae, mud and salt water are valuables
which turn the thalasso therapy on the North Sea into a delight.
Together with the healthy bracing climate of the coast, these ingredients
are the basis of local treatment. Literally, thalasso means “healing
treatment from the ocean”. The term derives from the Greek “Thalassa”
for ocean and “Therapieia” for treatment.
The Wadden Sea – home of the thalasso therapy – was added to
the UNESCO list of World Natural Heritage sites in June 2009
and is thereby deemed as worth protecting especially. It is on
one level with other natural wonders of our earth, for example
the Grand Canyon (USA), the Amazon rain forest (Brazil) and
the Great Barrier Reef (Australia). The United Nations Educational,
Scientifi c and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) gave
this award to the stretch of coast of around 400 kilometres from
the Nether lands to the Danish border. The Dollart constitutes the
western and the Outer Elbe shipping lane near Otterndorf the
eastern border of the Niedersachsen Wadden Sea. It comprises
the East Frisian islands, tideland and wetlands.
