What to expect
Hamelin is a town on the river Weser in Lower Saxony, Germany, known for the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The town has a rich history, with a monastery founded in 851 AD and a surrounding village that became a town by the 12th century. Hamelin was a minor member of the Hanseatic League in the 15th and 16th centuries and was later a fortified border town of the Principality of Calenberg. The town is home to several fortresses, including Fort George, Fort Wilhelm, and Fort Luise, and features a sightseeing tower called the Klütturm. Visitors can explore the town's historic walls, guard towers, and fortresses, and enjoy the scenic views of the river Weser. The town also hosts events like the Booktoberfest, a family-friendly festival with activities and surprises for all ages
