Германия. Праздник для глаз !!! Самая красивая деревня !!!

The Altes Land region translates as "Old Land." It lies along the Elbe River south of Hamburg. It boasts the largest fruit plantations in Northern Europe. This area is a magnet for tourists, especially in the spring when the orchards are in bloom. In the summer, strawberry, cherry, and apple festivals are held here. However, these places can be enjoyed year-round. Altes Land is known for its half-timbered houses with white beams, thatched roofs, and original brickwork. These houses tell stories about the traditions of local farmers. And there are many unique traditions here. Wealthy owners have long had elegant white gates in front of their homes, signifying their wealth. The Dutch drained and settled Altes Land in the 12th century, a fact that is still evident today: Dutch mills, numerous canals, and white wooden bridges over the canals.
