Generell description
Your holiday flat is situated in Dannhausen, a small village with less than 300 inhabitants. Especially it can be attractive for you because it is very near to many sights and because of its vicinity to the motorway A7 ( 5 min). A lot of interesting towns can be reached within less than 45 Minutes.
The village is an area of Bad Gandersheim. This spa is known by its Salt sources. It’s a lot of years old: Foundation: (abbey Brunshausen) 852 a.D. (times of Carolingian emperor Lothar I !). Thus the city center is characterized by many different architectural styles.
Dannhausen is situated within gentle hills - on the border of the Weser and Harz mountains. The village is sheltered from the direct influence of cold winds from the north by the “Heber" mountains (about 300 m of altitude). A narrow chain of hills with forests provide the village (in the east) from negative effects as noise or emissions which could result from the motorway.
Also to the South there are mountains up to an altitude of about 300 m. So the village is situated in a hollow which can only be reached from Bad Gandersheim city without crossing hills.
Just 6 km (bee-line) to the Harz mountains; the northernmost German Low mountains region with a lot of possibilities for walking or winter sports.
The forest region of the Solling mountains is also a nice region to walk - about 25 km southwest of Dannhausen.
From the cultural point of view interesting towns as Goslar, Hameln, Hildesheim, Goettingen, Einbeck, Quedlinburg and much more can be reached in a few minutes.
The railway Goettingen-Braunschweig crosses Bad Gandersheim -about 6 km from the holiday flats. The trade fair of Hannover can be reached within 35 min (in the south of Hannover on the motorway A7).
