In the city of Hildesheim, St. Michael's Church and Hildesheim Cathedral have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1985. The Tempelhaus is an early Gothic patrician house dating from around 1350; its Renaissance bay window dates from 1591. Nearby is the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum Hildesheim, with collections on ancient Egypt and ancient Peru. The cultural section therefore brings together different approaches: sacred architecture, a single historic house and thematic collections. You can consider these approaches separately or combine them for your personal travel planning. In the area surrounding Hildesheim are Wohldenberg and the parish church of Nettlingen, Maria vom heiligen Rosenkranz; in the wider regional area lies Gebhardshagen Castle. For planning purposes, the nearby area can be distinguished from the surrounding area and the wider regional area.
The district of Hildesheim lies in the southern part of Lower Saxony; Hildesheim is the district capital. This geographical classification separates the city and the district as two levels of consideration. For your travel planning, you can therefore distinguish between the city's cultural offerings and the district's landscape features.
No fixed order is prescribed for these topics. You can first assess the buildings and collections, compare the different landscape forms or plan activities around lakes as a separate focus. The locations in the nearby, surrounding and wider regional areas can be considered separately, depending on which geographical area you choose for your stay.
The district includes both hilly landscapes and landscapes shaped by lowland terrain. The wooded areas include the Hildesheim Börde, the Calenberg Börde, the Innerste Uplands and the Leine Uplands. Spitzhut and Steinberg are in the area surrounding Hildesheim. Rottsberg lies in the surrounding area of Hildesheim. Anyone wishing to compare nature-related topics can note hilly, lowland-shaped and wooded areas as separate selection criteria.
Natural and artificial lakes in and around Hildesheim are associated with jogging and walking. The Hermes Tower is in the wider regional area of Hildesheim. Jogging and walking are two forms of physical activity; you can treat them as a separate focus alongside culture and landscape.
The topics can be viewed on two levels: culture leads to buildings and collections, while landscape and physical activity extend the view beyond the city. You decide whether these levels remain separate or come together in a shared plan.
When choosing a holiday apartment in Hildesheim, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation conditions on the respective listing pages.
