A selfie at the Brandenburg Gate, a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle – all great. But which cities, landscapes and special places in Germany are also worth seeing? Once a month, we take you to a place in Germany that you absolutely must discover!
The world’s first universities were founded in Italy and England, admittedly. But Germany is shaped by a long academic history too. The five oldest universities were already up and running by the 15th century.
There’s a place at the very heart of Germany that offers a window into space. Rhön Star Park is one of the darkest places in the country – and the perfect place for stargazing.
Ahrenshoop on northern Germany’s Fischland-Darss-Zingst peninsula is a special place that attracts art and nature lovers alike. Its artists’ colony combines creative traditions with modern culture – guaranteeing a richly multilayered experience of the sea, art galleries and history.
In the Bavarian Forest National Park, hiking enthusiasts will experience a kind of nature that can be found virtually nowhere else in Germany these days: over 350 kilometres of trails take you through forests, peat bogs and up to mountain peaks.
Lake Constance isn’t only the perfect place for an idyllic holiday – it also gives you the chance to immerse yourself in a bygone era: the pile dwellings of Unteruhldingen take us back in time to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.
Though light shows abound, hardly any other is as spectacular as the Schlosslichtspiele light festival at Karlsruhe Palace. If you’re looking for a travel destination with the wow factor this summer, Karlsruhe is the perfect choice!
