Country Fun in New Germany

Begin your day along Highway 324 north, 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 berry farm, so be sure take home some of that fresh Nova Scotia taste by u-picking blueberries or raspberries when they are in season.

The next stop a bit farther north on Highway 324. Indian Falls is a 25 foot rushing waterfall and historic indigenous salmon fishing grounds. Hike the 1.5 kilometre trail to witness the power of the falls, swim at the bottom, relax in the picnic area or stroll along the rocky beach, taking in the sights, sounds and smells of the pristine environment.

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 indigenous 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, called Charloais. This road also offers a fragrant experience of why the region is known as the Balsam Fir Christmas Tree Capital of the World.

After a day of adventuring, 2 PAPA`s Pizza and Donairs in New Germany has a delicious supper waiting for you. 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 mementos of a beautiful day in Lunenburg Region.
