New in Hanover? A short trip to discover the region.

If you have just moved to Hanover, you can reach us without a car: 18 minutes by S5 from Hannover Hbf to Holtensen/Linderte, then about 300 metres on foot. At our third-generation fruit farm you can discover the Calenberger Land through strawberries, cherries, raspberries, apples and blue plums.

You do not need a car, a reservation or a planned programme for this first trip. Depending on the season, you can pick fruit yourself or shop at the farm shop.

Pick-your-own is mainly a May, June and July topic; the farm shop and later fruit such as apples and blue plums continue into autumn. Please check the daily status before you start, because ripeness and harvest quantities change.
