Celle (German pronunciation: [ˈtsɛlə]) is a town and capital of the district of Celle, in Lower Saxony, Germany. The town is situated on the banks of the river Aller, a tributary of the Weser and has a population of about 71,000. Celle is the southern gateway to the Lüneburg Heath, has a castle (Schloss Celle) built in the Renaissance and Baroque style and a picturesque old town centre (the Altstadt) with over 400 timber-framed houses, making Celle one of the most remarkable members of the German Timber-Frame Road.

Not far from the cnter is this nice and peaceful little park, with a large pond (the birds are used to getting fed and nearly tame), nice meadows and a good atmosphere to rest a bit. Some squirrels also enjoy it. If you are there and the lowersaxony bee science institue is open do not miss it.
