Hamelin & The Line of White Rats
Hameln is the economic, cultural and touristic center of the Weserbergland. The city of 60,000 is most famous for the legend of the Pied Piper.
Its riches were made through trade along the river Weser. The successful businessmen built intricately decorated homes during this period, so that Hameln became the jewel of Weser Renaissance architecture.
Hameln has a beautiful historical old town. Especially marvellous are the old buildings from the Weser Renaissance, which can only be admired here in such a great number. The pedestrian precinct combines modern shopping areas with historical monuments.
Guided tours are available upon request, with and without the Pied Piper
