Lower Saxony
The Federal States of Germany
Between the North Sea and the Harz, Ems and Elbe, stretches one of Germany’s federal states in which, according to legend, once the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Till Eulenspiegel and the lying Baron Munchhausen did their mischief. Here, things were invented which others took credit for later. The inventive genius of the people of Lower Saxony became the foundation of a successful, innovative federal state. With the North Sea and the lower course of the Elbe, Lower Saxony has a natural boundary in the north. In the southeast, it is bordered by the Harz. A major part of the state lies in the North German Plain. The rivers of Aller, Weser, Ems and Elbe shape Lower Saxony. The highest mountain is the Wurmberg in the Harz at 971 metres.

Youth Movement
Dancing until your feet hurt: Here, at the meeting on the Hoher Meissner near Kassel, 3,500 participants from Boy Scout associations, youth and Wandervogel groups from all over the German-speaking region have gathered. They want to celebrate, simply get to know each other and commemorate a historic anniversary.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
