Download this Itinerary

Never start an adventure on an empty stomach! The Happy Cooker, just off Exit 11 in Blockhouse will get you fueled up and ready for a day of exploring. 

15 minutes along Highway 324, take a tour of Lunenburg County Winery.  Sample and savour their award-winning fruit wines made using traditional aging methods and the best locally grown fruit.  The winery is located on a blueberry farm so you can take home some of that fresh Nova Scotia taste by u-picking blueberries or raspberries.
Next stop on Highway 324 is Indian Falls, a 25 foot rushing waterfall and historic aboriginal salmon fishing grounds.  Hike the 1.5 kilometre trail to witness the power of the falls, relax in the picnic area or stroll along the rocky beach, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the natural world.
To learn more about the local community, visit nearby Parkdale/Maplewood Museum for interesting displays on historic rural life as well as the traditions of the area’s original peoples, the Mi’kmaq.  Be sure to wander through their beautiful heritage gardens before you leave. 
Heading west on the Barss Corner Road takes you through picturesque farmlands where you might catch a glimpse of some of the area’s unique white cows. This road also offers a fragrant view of why the region is known as the Balsam Fir Christmas Tree Capital of the World.
After a day of adventuring, Delong’s Restaurant in New Germany has your supper waiting, with mouth-watering homemade pie for dessert. Before leaving New Germany, visit Village Glassworks for Nova Scotia designed and crafted stained-glass panels, lamps, and mirrors as well as other locally made treasures that are sure to make perfect mementoes of a beautiful day in Lunenburg Region.
