What travelers say:
The statue of the Goose Girl is the most famous statue in Göttingen, which has been in the center of the singing hall and the old town for more than 100 years. A German girl carried the big white goose in one hand, and a basket in the other hand was really cute. He is also one of the hallmarks of Göttingen and is worth coming to appreciate.
