Camping-Aller-Leine-Tal

Alan Rogers Review

This is a simple, family-run campsite on the bank of the River Aller in a wooded location in Lower Saxony. It's a peaceful area with dense woods home to red squirrels and deer, heather-carpeted heathland, slow-moving waterways, windmills and tree-lined country lanes - perfect, unspoilt scenery for cycling and walking along the local trails.

The neighbouring town of Schwarmstedt is handy for shops and various amenities, while Walsrode (20 km) has a large bird park, not to mention grazing animals and an adventure playground. Hanover is a fascinating day out, with an important zoo, and Celle is one of Germany’s most interesting historical, half-timbered towns. In stark contrast is the Bergen-Belsen Memorial, with graves and memorials commemorating those who died in the concentration camp - including Anne Frank.
