Germany

The North Sea coast and "Swabian Ocean". The mountains of the Harz and the Bavarian Alps. Rhine and Danube. Berlin and Heidelberg. Fish market and Oktoberfest. Germany has so much to offer. The north of the country is dominated by the Northern German Lowlands with their large areas of cultivable land. The ideal area for cyclists. If you are looking for something more varied will find the Mecklenburg Lake District a perfect destination. Or should it rather be the Spree Forest. There is an awesome lot to discover outside the cities of the north.

Central Germany is characterised by her low mountain ranges, be it the Harz, the Taunus, "Saxon Switzerland", the Ore Mountains, the Franconian or the Swabian Alb down to the Black Forest. As versatile as these areas are, as different are their people and specialities that are produced there. They were usually created as a result of the poverty of the people and served to generate some extra income in order to survive. In recent decades, many of them have developed into prime export products. Treacle is one example of that.

Germany´s South starts with the foreland of the Alps. An area whose features were formed during the Ice Ages, the mighty moraines having left behind a suave, hilly relic. The further south you get, the higher the mountains get. The Allgaeu is characterised by smooth ridges making and mountain massifs making way for each other. The small streams and rivers have carved themselve deep into the mountains, making their way into the high mountain landscape on the southern border of Germany.

Unsere Regionen in Germany:

• Baltic Sea

  A dense web of ferry connections in the shallow, inland-sea-like Baltic Sea connects Denmark, Scandinavia, the Baltic States, Poland and Germany. As history progressed, many a town and city in this region became very rich thanks to their ever-stronger trade ties which helped them amass wealth even in times when others were hit by economic crises. Rostock and Lübeck are two prominent examples for this. Both cities boast a host of stunning building…

• Bavarian Forest

  The Bavarian Forest lies in Eastern Bavaria and borders Austria and the Czech Republic (Bohemia). In an easterly direction, the low mountain range stretches into the Czech Republic where it is referred to as Bohemian Forest. The mountain range also stretches into Upper Austria where it forms the Sau Forest and the Mühlviertel. The Bavarian Forest’s northern part borders the region of Upper Palatinate.

• Black Forest

  The Black Forest, this well-known mountain range in the south-west of Germany, extends from Pforzheim in a southern direction for about 150 kilometres. In the northern parts the mountain peaks are rather modest in altiude, but the further south you get, the higher they become, the Feldberg peak measuring just over 1500 metres above sea level. In the south and in the east the Black Forest is bordered by the deeply-incised Rhine Valley. The Up…

• Harz

• North Sea

  Germany’s North Sea coast and its tidelandr are considered to be amongst the most unique natural attractions the country has to offer. A multitude of living creatures which are barely visible to the human eye call this area their home. The North Sea is dominated by high and low tide: More often than not, we are puzzled as to whether the ground we are standing on belongs to the land or to the sea. Just as the human inhabitants of this land, the mi…
