Our Nature

With top rankings in terms of recreational and local leisure value, this green metropolis offers exciting prospects. After all, a conscious lifestyle and sustainability are playing an increasingly important role for us as well. The attractive local recreation areas right in the heart of the city, such as the Maschsee or the Eilenriede—Europe’s largest urban forest—underscore our image as one of Germany’s greenest metropolises with stunning cultural landscapes. The Deister to the south, the Lake Steinhuder Meer to the west, and the heathland to the north offer a wide range of opportunities for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, or water sports.
The hanover adventure zoo is particularly popular with families. Under the motto “Around the World in a Day,” visitors can discover more than 2,000 animals across seven themed worlds. The best part: 90 percent of all residents “really like” and “like” living in Hannover.
