Bad Zwischenahn is a town on the bank of the Zwischenahner Meer, in Lower Saxony, Germany. The town is in the district of Ammerland, about 15 km to the northwest of Oldenburg and 70 km south of the North Sea coast.

Bad Zwischenahn gained notoriety as the airbase of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. As a result, it was severely devastated by Allied bombing. The town has been entirely rebuilt and is today a popular domestic tourist destination.

Perhaps the most popular attraction is the farm museum which exhibits a windmill as well as period farm houses of the 19th century. Smoked eels are a local delicacy here.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
