Ehra-Lessien, Non-urban municipality in Gifhorn district, Germany
Ehra-Lessien is a rural municipality in the Gifhorn district of Lower Saxony. The area consists of scattered villages and open countryside typical of the North German landscape.
The area lay directly on the inner-German border during the Cold War, giving it strategic importance for decades. This location shaped the region's development throughout that period.
The local community actively participates in the annual Volkstrauertag observance each November, commemorating those who have passed away in the region.
The area is best explored by car, as the villages are spread far apart from one another. Visitors should allow plenty of time and have transportation to see different parts of the region.
The area is home to a private automotive test track with one of Europe's longest straight sections. This facility is used to test vehicle performance at high speeds.
