Vacation and leisure region in the district of Rotenburg (Wümme) The district of Rotenburg (Wümme) at a glance ============================================= Slow down between Bremen and Hamburg ------------------------------------- Between the major cities of Bremen and Hamburg, the North Sea coast and the Lüneburg Heath lies the vacation and leisure region of the district of Rotenburg (Wümme). Flat and gently rolling landscapes, pretty villages and a warm North German culture characterize the rural region - ideal for those seeking relaxation and active explorers. Inhalt: Nature and sport ---------------- The region is characterized by meadows, forests, moors and rivers such as the Wümme and Oste.
