Emsland

The Emsland reaches from the border to North-Rhine-Westphalia in the south to the East Friesland and it is famous for its wonderfully versatile nature. The typical architecture with its half-timbered houses and classic bricks as well as the seemingly endless flatland of the northern plains make this area a characteristic example of what the north of Germany has to offer.
