This family's experience:

Activities: We strolled through the old town of Hitzacker, which is not large, with only a few old town alleys. We enjoyed the charming flair and saw climbing roses on the half-timbered facades and rose bushes in the small gardens

Highlights: We found Hitzacker to be as beautiful as hoped. It has a charming flair. The roses were in bloom, and we suspected that was the best time to visit ✨
