The continuous rain throughout this week has at last ended, but there are still visible signs of the serious flooding that ensued, especially in central Germany. The Harz mountain region of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt was especially hard hit by the storms that poured down across Germany this week, leading to serious flooding in places like Hildesheim, as pictured below.
