This photo was taken during autumn in Hameln, Germany, which is the birthplace of the infamous Rattenfänger—or Pied Piper, as we Americans know it.
This shot is actually on top of the last few hills that soon sink into the state of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony).
This area is essentially lowland plains—hence the name Lower Saxony!
