Tree house hotels in Lower Saxony
Lower Saxony is Germany’s second-largest state by area – and thanks to its enormous landscape diversity, it offers a remarkable range of treehouse hotels. Those exploring the Harz with its forested low mountain ridges will encounter completely different accommodations than someone staying in the Lüneburg Heath, the Weser Uplands, or the windswept Teufelsmoor near Worpswede. From the North Sea coast with Elbe dikes and islands to the beech forests of the Solling: Lower Saxony brings together 14 very different treehouse hotels across its territory that reflect this diversity.
