This automatic "translation" of highlight names is terrible. If only they would at least translate (often poorly), but no, even the title I gave in German is being changed. I just renamed it correctly, because my "Café Waldwinkel" had been changed to "Wald Wimmel Café" for some completely incomprehensible reason.

Next to the construction sites for the State Garden Show is the idyllic NABU Oasis, worth a visit.

The Calenberger Land is a historical landscape that included Neustadt am Rübenberge, Hanover and Hameln. Today the name is mostly used as a regional name for the much smaller southwest of the Hanover region, where Calenberg Castle is located. It is separated to the east and north by the Leine and Mittelland Canal and bounded to the southwest by the Deister and to the south by the Kleiner Deister, both of which are largely still part of it. The Calenberger Land region community association does not consist of all of these communities. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calenberger_Land
