Memorable Memento Snapshots: A Memento for Your Keepsake Collection
Nordhorn, a water city in Germany, has unveiled 17 new photo spots for tourists, aiming to enhance the city's appeal as a travel destination. These special photo motives, designed to offer the best perspectives for taking photos, are located in the most beautiful corners of the city.
According to Katrin Sepp from the economic development of the city of Nordhorn, attractive vacation photos shared on social media have a significant impact on popular tourist destinations like Nordhorn. By introducing these photo spots, the city hopes to encourage visitors to take memorable photos and share them on platforms like Instagram, tagging @visitnordhorn.
Each sign at these designated photo spots includes a QR code, making it easy for users to access the website www.our website/photospots with their smartphones. This website offers an overview of all 17 photo spots, complete with example images, and provides two tour suggestions for photography enthusiasts – one 5.5 km long and one approximately 18 km long. These tours can be tracked using the navigation app Komoot or any common GPS device.
Some of the photo spots were identified based on the results of a photo competition in the LEADER region Grafschaft Bentheim. The city of Nordhorn believes that this project will not only lead to great Nordhorn photos, but also further enhance the image and popularity of the city as a travel destination.
The proposal for the Fotospots project in the city of Nordhorn was made as part of a municipal initiative, and the project was officially started around the time when the LEADER funding of approximately 60,000 euros was granted, supporting the overall cost of about 160,000 euros for the construction of the facility. However, the exact individual proposer and the precise official start date are not specified in the available search results.
The photo spots in Nordhorn are a new feature in the city, aimed at enhancing the tourist experience. They are meant to highlight the city's most attractive features and are equipped with eye-catching signs indicating attractive photo motives. The city of Nordhorn encourages tourists to take creative shots and unforgettable impressions at the photo spots and publish them on Instagram, tagging @visitnordhorn.
The project to create photo spots in Nordhorn originated from an application in the Nordhorner city council on the topic of "city branding". As such, these photo spots represent a significant step in Nordhorn's efforts to enhance its tourist offerings and position itself as a must-visit destination.
