  3. Saxony The seven inhabited East Frisian islands (Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeook, Spiekeroog, Wangerooge) are the main tourist destinations. Other popular locations in Lower Saxony include the Wattenmeer, which is the vast coastal area of wetlands, salt marshes and dunes, as well as Germany's oldest nature park, Lüneburger Heide, a serene Heathland and dotted with herds of an old breed of sheep called Heidschnucken. The Steinhude Lake Nature Reserve offers great scenic diversity and a wide range of water sports on the largest lake in northwest Germany. The idyllic forests of the Harz Mountains also enjoy great popularity among nature lovers and hikers.

Mix in 2 tablespoons of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Allow this mixture to sit in a warm place for 1 hour. Combine remaining dough ingredients then add in the yeast mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms, then knead by hand. Allow dough to sit in a warm place until double in volume. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet or a Spring-Form pan. Roll out dough to fit the size of the baking sheet. Transfer dough to pan. Mix Quark with sugar, eggs, and lemon zest. Mix until creamy. Spread quark mixture evenly over dough. Optionally, sprinkle raisins over quark mixture. For the topping, combine milk, butter, egg yolks, and sugar. Scrape out the seeds from the vanilla bean and add seeds to milk mixture. Bring to a simmer, stirring continuously. Allow to cool. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. When the milk mixture has cooled to room temperature, gradually (and gently) fold into the egg whites. Spread this mixture evenly over the cake. Bake cake for around 40 minutes or until a golden brown crust develops on the top of the cake. Remove cake from oven and allow to cool completely.
