5 Fairy-Tale Things to Do & See in Hamelin, Germany, Hamelin, Germany
Hamelin, Germany is a fairy-tale town located in Lower Saxony. Hamelin is home to the Pied Piper fairy-tale - a deep and dark tale that began in the 12th Century.

Whether you desire a hearty meal, a Pizza or just a slice of cake, you can find everything your palate craves while enjoying the best seat in town.聽
