It was an 8+ hour drive to Soltau north of Hannover. Longer than expected as there were 15 to 20 Km long construction zones where we were down to a snail’s pace. Once we arrived, we were delighted with our internet choice of a hotel. It is a small place with only 4 or 5 rooms run by a nice couple.
It backs up to the large city park with our own private patio. This small lake and fountain is just 25 yards from our patio.
They told us on arrival that just 5 minutes thru the park is the city with “eiscafes” = “ice cream parlors”. That was an understatement. The center of the city is pedestrian only with numerous eiscafes.
We had to walk to the other end of the pedestrian zone to find a restaurant that actually served food and then only to German standard - closed after lunch at 2pm and opening for dinner at 5:30pm. We came back an hour later for a steak dinner. We stopped along the way to pause and sit with the local ladies.
Back thru the park and a picture of the grain mill on the lake running thru the park.
