You will explore Hamelin, a town on the river Weser in Lower Saxony. It is the capital of the district of Hamelin‑Pyrmont and has a population of roughly 56,000. The town is best known for the tale of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a cultural touchstone that shapes much of its character and stories.
Along the way you will visit the most recent of the city's medieval churches and see the last stone building built in this style in Hamelin. As you move through the town, you will discover its major landmarks and gain a clear sense of its historic centre and architectural past. The experience balances the town’s famous legend with tangible sights — churches, stone architecture and riverside views — so you come away with a straightforward impression of Hamelin’s history and character.
