Nova Scotia is located on the Canadian east coast and is one of the maritime provinces of Canada. The province of Nova Scotia / New Scotland consists of a peninsula that is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Countless stunning bays with great beaches and picturesque fishing villages surround the coasts. In the middle of Nova Scotia you will find nearly countless lake landscapes with hundreds of small islands. One of these lakes is the Ponhook Lake near the city of Bridgewater, about 120 km south of Halifax, a central starting point for discovering Nova Scotia. If you speak of Canada, you almost automatically think on the cold north and the unending expansiveness that goes far to Alaska (USA) and towards the North Polar Sea. Many people do not know that the southernmost provinces that border the USA are at the same altitude as southern France / northern Spain.
