Germany is full of surprises and offers an incredible variety of vacation and travel regions that have something for everyone. From the smoking chimneys of industrial heritage to the rolling hills of the vineyards, here are the highlights: The Baltic Sea - A paradise for water rats and sun worshippers. With its white sandy beaches, historic seaside resorts and picturesque islands such as Rügen and Usedom, the Baltic coast is the perfect place to unwind. The Black Forest - it's mystical here. Deep green forests, clear lakes and traditional Black Forest farms offer an idyllic picture. The Black Forest is a real Eldorado for hikers, mountain bikers and winter sports fans. The Berchtesgadener Land - pure nature! Located in the south-east of Bavaria, this region offers breathtaking Alpine landscapes, the crystal-clear Königssee lake and the majestic Watzmann mountain. A must for outdoor enthusiasts. Saxon Switzerland - a dream for climbers and hikers. The unique sandstone formations and deep gorges of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains are spectacular. The Bastei Bridge and Königstein Fortress are just some of the highlights. The Rhine Valley - pure romance along the Rhine. With its steep vineyards, picturesque villages and majestic castles perched high above the river, you feel like you're in another world here. A boat trip through the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley should be on every bucket list. Munich and the surrounding area - not just the Oktoberfest! Munich itself is a city full of life, culture and history. The surrounding area with Lake Starnberg and the Bavarian Alps also offers numerous opportunities for excursions into nature. Hamburg - the gateway to the world. The port city is known for its lively music scene, impressive architecture and, of course, the Port of Hamburg. A visit to the Speicherstadt warehouse district and a harbor tour are a must.
