Dortmund, Germany - The town of Nordhorn in north-western Germany is set amidst a landscape of charming farmhouses and old oak trees. But occasionally, modern technology is visible in the form of crude oil pumps scattered across the land.
Motorists holidaying in the region will experience the old and the new travelling around Nordhorn and anyone with a little more time on their hands can drive across the border to the Netherlands to experience van Gogh country.
Oil pumps are one of the region's main features. Visitors can find out more about them with the help of the new electronic Dynamic Audio Geo Information System for Tourists (DAGIT) which consists of a small computer attached to a car's radio.
