Einbeck with children: vintage cars, half-timbered houses and playgrounds
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Tourist Information in the Eickeschen Haus. The facade is decorated with figural carvings. It contains the entire pictorial world of humanism, with ancient rulers, gods, goddesses, and allegories of the senses, virtues, and arts

Highlights: We spent a whole time in front of the building, trying to guess which figure represents what. The children enjoyed looking at all the carvings and figures and trying to figure out their meanings ✨
