New Germany

This unique town is in the heart of the province; it is divided by the beautiful and mighty LaHave River. The Annapolis Valley/South Shore trail runs right through the village, and connects to an elaborate province-wide trail system; whether you hike, bike, ATV, snowmobile, or are an equestrian these trails are designed for hours of adventure and feature stunning views of rural Nova Scotia. The LaHave River offers miles of coastal properties, and the surrounding lakes are perfect for picnics, swimming, boating, fishing, and investment opportunities. The warm and welcoming small town community spirit, events, and amenities ensure that this is a vibrant and comfortable place to live. Many residents have relocated to the community from all over the world, and are proud to say that New Germany is the best place to call home.
