Covering an area of approximately 47,641 km² and boasting some eight million inhabitants, Niedersachsen is the second largest German federal state in terms of surface area and the fourth largest in terms of population. With its more than 500,000 inhabitants, the state capital of Hanover is at the same time the state’s largest city. Niedersachsen’s lowest point lies close to the North Sea in the East Frisian community of Krummhörn located at 2.5 m below sea level. The state’s highest mountain is the 971 m high Wurmberg in the Harz mountain range. Niedersachsen proper begins virtually in the sea, at the white beaches and dunes of the seven East Frisian islands. The coastline is 610 km in length and snakes from the Elbe estuary all the way to the mouth of the River Ems. Between the mud flats and the Harz mountain range lies varied, pretty scenery such as Lüneburg Heath and the Weser Uplands.
