Bad Pyrmont

Bad Pyrmont has served as a spa town in Lower Saxony’s Weser Uplands since the 17th century. It lies in the Emmer valley, where mineral springs shaped a resort once frequented by European courts, including Peter the Great. Formal spa gardens and a palm garden retain the composed character of a classic German Kurort, while 16th-century Pyrmont Castle recalls the former County of Pyrmont. Thermal traditions still shape local life, alongside walks in the wooded hills around town. Discover how Bad Pyrmont belongs to the wider Weser Uplands by browsing webcams nearby.

Lower Saxony extends from the North Sea coast to the Harz Mountains, encompassing Wadden Sea mudflats, broad lowlands and wooded uplands. At its northern edge, the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea forms part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, shaped twice daily by the tides. The Weser crosses the state on its way to the North Sea, while the Elbe marks much of its northeastern border. Inland, the Lüneburg Heath is associated with heather moorland and long-standing sheep farming. Hanover, the state capital, is known for the Herrenhausen Gardens, whose Great Garden is a major baroque ensemble.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
