Minnesota - The Star of the North
Minnesota is the twelfth largest state in the United
States with 225,171 km² and almost 5.4 million inhabitants.
Minnesota was founded on May 11, 1858 as the 32nd state of
the United States. A large proportion of Minnesota's
residents have German or Scandinavian ancestors. It is the
second most northern state in the USA, only Alaska is
further north. The state in the midwest is bordered by the
Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario in the north, by
the Upper Lake and the states of Michigan and Wisconsin to
the east. The neighboring states in the west are North and
South Dakota. The southern neighboring state is Iowa. The
capital is Saint Paul and has 290,000 inhabitants.
The namesake is the Dakota, an Indian tribe of the Sioux
family, it roughly means "sky reflecting water". However,
the common nickname is "Land of 10,000 Lakes", which
indicates the wealth of lakes in the state. The official
state motto of Minnesota is "L'Étoile du Nord" (The Star of
the North).
Geography
Minnesota is largely a flat country, except for the far
northeast, where Arrowhead Country makes the landscape more
hilly. There is also the highest peak with Eagle Mountain
(701 m). The landscape was once shaped by glaciers, some of
which were over 1 km thick. The northernmost point of the
continental United States is located in the north of
Minnesota on Lake of the Woods and is north of the 49th
parallel. The country is crossed by numerous lakes. There
are 11,843 lakes that are larger than 40,000 m².
Fauna and Flora
The largely untouched nature is a popular destination for
nature lovers. The main attractions are the Voyageurs
National Park, the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge, the
Frontenac State Park or the Alexander Ramsey Park. The
vegetation is very varied, prairie grasslands predominate in
the west and southwest, deciduous forests in the southeast
and boreal coniferous forests in the north, which are
dominated by pine and spruce. In addition, birches and
poplars grow here and there. Although a lot of forest has
been cleared in the past, the forest stock has grown again
on one third of the state. Unfortunately, through the land
reclamation, a large number of animal species were driven
out of their habitat. But there are still large black bear,
wolf and white-tailed deer populations. There are also
numerous wild birds such as geese, ducks, turkeys,
pheasants, snowy owls, bald eagles and red-tailed buzzards.
The lakes are home to numerous species of fish, including
trout, perch and pike.
Climate
Minnesota's climate is continental, resulting in cold
winters well below zero degrees Celsius. Blizzards often
appear in winter. Summers are hot and humid, especially in
the southern parts of the country. June to August are the
hottest months with an average of 25 degrees. The region
around the Upper Lake is not so exposed to the stark
contrasts of temperature, since the lake has a balancing
effect on the temperatures. Average rainfall varies from 480
mm in the northwest to 860 mm in the southeast.
Activities and sights
The untouched nature and the national parks offer nature
lovers and hikers a wealth of activities. In addition,
cities like Saint Paul or New Ulm with their cathedrals
invite you to visit. The Capitol in Saint Paul, built in
1900, should not be missed either. The Walker Art Center and
Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis are also worth a visit.
Other sights are the Kensington Runestone Museum in
Ortoville, a rune stone of the Vikings from 1362 is the
highlight here. Bloomington is the largest shopping center
in the USA with 390,000 m², even an amusement park with
roller coaster and white water rink is integrated here. Also
worth seeing is the Skyways in Minneapolis. These are closed
bridges that connect many buildings with each other.

Minnesota is known for being one of the coldest places in
the United States. In winter, temperatures reach minus 30
degrees, can you imagine? Sharing space with skyscrapers and
places with nature, the state is the perfect place to get to
know another side of the United States. The city of Minneápolis,
almost neighboring the state capital - Saint Paul, is the
right bet to enjoy a big city without giving up the cool
attractions of the countryside. Crossed by the mighty
Mississippi River, the city has some postcards, including
Stone Arch Bridge and St. Anthony Falls (St. Anthony Falls)
that take tourists away. There is a great place for those
who want to see a Broadway show and enjoy more sophisticated
cuisine.
Minnesota is in the north of the country on the border
with Canada. The name is Indian and means "water colored
with sky". Many lakes shape the beautiful landscape of the
state. Most people live in the "Twin Cities" Minneapolis and
Saint Paul. Not far from these cities is the largest mall in
the United States, the Mall of America. Many national parks
try to capture the beautiful landscape of Minnesota in time.
Saint Paul has approximately 285,000 residents and is the
capital of Minnesota. Above all, in addition to many
museums, Minnesota also has some cathedrals, churches and
old buildings to offer.
Attractions in Minnesota
Minneapolis-St. Paul
In the Minneapolis-St. Paul is the largest indoor
shopping complex in the United States. In view of the
monumental landscapes and the richness of species, it is
almost a sacrilege to even speak about a shopping
center. However, if you have Minnesota as the destination of
your USA trip, you will certainly travel to
this metropolitan region, since there are otherwise only
comparatively few larger cities in this natural state.
In the Mall of America, visitors can not only spend their
money to their heart's content, but also eat, drink and be
entertained. 520 shops, 14 cinemas and the Sea Life Aquarium
promise entertaining days with a diverse range of
restaurants. The Nickelodeon Park is a nice destination for
families. However, this metropolitan region has more to
offer than just shopping and entertainment. Art and culture
are not neglected in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Free life
concerts, numerous museums, theaters and art galleries
promise entertaining days with high-quality entertainment.
Parks and protected landscapes
Minnesota has 66 state parks, numerous nature reserves
and 57 state forests. The only national park is Voyageurs
National Park. More than 10,000 lakes and numerous rivers
run through the landscape, in which diverse sporting
activities such as hiking, fishing, cycling, canoeing and
rafting are possible.
Brainerd Lakes
If you love nature vacation, but don't want to do without
the comfort of a chic hotel, you should travel to Brainerd
Lakes. In the middle of a beautiful natural landscape there
are several first-class hotels with no less first-class golf
courses.
National Eagle Center
Visitors to the National Eagle Center can learn all there
is to know about the majestic eagle. Interactive
exhibitions, eagle shows and observation tours are suitable
for all ages.
International Wolf Center
The largest wolf population is located in Minnesota. It
is therefore not surprising that there is also a Wolf
Center, which brings visitors closer to these legendary
animals. A varied entertainment program ensures that there
is no boredom.
North American Bear Center
You can see that in Minneapolis people are not only
connected to nature, but also to animals. The Bear Center is
all about the local bear population. Visitors can admire
both prepared and real specimens and take part in various
programs and exhibitions.
Pipestone National Monument
This monument in the middle of the prairie is dedicated
to the indigenous people of Minnesota. Here prairie
Indians once cut stones out of the rocks to make them into
pipes. An educational trail leads through a quarry that ends
at Winnewissa Falls.
Fort Snelling
At this point where the Mississippi and Minnesota cross,
the state began to settle in the mid-19th century. The open
air museum gives interesting insights into the history of
Minnesota, which is also reproduced by actors. |
