More important than the similarities are the different temperaments of the cities, which you can rediscover in different ways over and over again.
 “Moin” (Mornin’) is the cheerful greeting used in Niedersachsen’s maritime cities. Elegant drawbridges cross the countless canals. The narrow waterways are reminiscent of Dutch ‘grachts’.
