The Hundertwasserbahnhof is a railway station in Uelzen that was renovated for Expo 2000 to an unusual and strikingly coloured design by Austrian artist and architect, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, having been heavily damaged in the Second World War. An "environmentally, culturally oriented" station, Uelzen railway station was renamed "Hundertwasser Station, Uelzen" (Hundertwasser-Bahnhof Uelzen). Today it is one of the town's popular tourist attractions. If you arrive by train it will also naturally be one of the first things you see of Uelzen
Museumsdorf Hösseringen
A museum village in the midst of the Lüneburg Heath on the site of medieval provincial parliaments for the old Principality of Lüneburg. The open-air museum has 27 historic buildings from the Heath that have been carefully transported and restored to recreate the atmosphere of an old heath village. The museum has a selection of farmhouses, workshops, stables, agricultural implements and rural exhibitions. You can get a feel for farming life in the area in former times. There are herb and vegetable gardens as well as a village pond, complete with farmyard animals and moorland sheep (Heidschnucken). In addition there are farmer's fields, a village smithy, beehives and a wheelwright's. An interesting and educational day out. Hösseringer Hof country pub by the entrance.
