In the heart of Lower Saxony, the German city of Peine is located 40kms to the east of Hannover. There are a small number of Peine hotels to stay in here, and for those seeking a sedate trip, the more established hotels are situated outside of the town centre. For a small town of only 50,000 inhabitants, there is a wonderful array of places to shop. It is worth visiting Jakobi-Kirche, a medieval church, and taking in Topfers Muhle, a windmill which epitomises the quaintness of the town. Rausch Chocolate Land can be found outside of Peine and is where visitors can sample chocolate and discover how it is made. Most visitors combine a trip to the town with a general tour of the Lower Saxony region, making it a pleasant stepping-stone between Hannover and Braunschweig. The town is as charming in the summer as it is in the winter.
