This country - situated in the heart of Europe and thus building a bridge between Western and Eastern European culture - is famous for its huge varieties of landscapes, towns and places.
The famous city Berlin, the country’s capital and cities such as Hamburg, Köln, Dresden, München and Frankfurt or smaller towns such as Rothenburg ob der Tauber or Werningerode are magnificent places which reflect Germany’s rich history, culture, economy and the friendliness, hospitality and charm of the people. All these places can be visited by train.
Country characteristics
Hamburg
Hamburg is Germany's major harbour city and the gateway for all overseas goods traffic by boat. You experience the international flair of this place at once. The North German plains, e.g. the Lüneburger Helde, are known for their unique and colourful vegetation.
Rhein-Ruhr region
Down to South the Rhein-Ruhr region is one of Germany's most dynamic and powerful regions with a long tradition of industrial culture but at the same time you find there peaceful and romantic woods or lakes. Cities like Düsseldorf, Essen, Dortmund are the highlights of this region.
Cologne
Cologne (Köln) - very famous for the ancient gothic cathedral and the Carnival - reflects the people's friendliness and heartful hospitality.
Berlin
Since 1991, Berlin is again Germany's capital and in every place of this ever-changing metropolis you find signs and traces of German history of the past, present and the future. No other city in Germany is that diversified and rich of monuments and museums. The surroundings of Berlin are inviting to relax at beautiful lakes or passing by boat on canals through virgin woods (Spreewald).
Dresden
Also Dresden, the ‘Florence on the Elbe’, known for its baroque city, can be visited from Berlin within one day.
Rhine, Moselle and Neckar
In the Western part the famous valleys of Rhine, Moselle and Neckar are a must for the traveller as they make you feel the medieval charm of Germany at best. Enjoy the ride on a boat and taste the excellent wine of these regions. Getting off at Heidelberg the majestic caslte and the very attractive historic city speak for themselves.
Central part of Germany
The same goes for a lot of other small and bigger towns in the Central part of Germany which have presented for you their enchanting medieval character not only from the architectural point of view. Rothenburg od der Tauber, Dinkelsbühl, Würzburg, Nürnberg, Quedlinburg or Wernigerode are only some names to be mentioned here.
Black Forest
Southern Germany spots highlights such as the Black Forest with a magnificent picture postcard landscape of lakes and deep woods, the Lake of Constance where Germany meets Austria and Switzerland and the Bavarian Alps with inviting places like Garmisch-Partenkirchen or Berchtesgaden, not to forget the fairy tale castles of King Ludwig II (Neuschwanstein, Linderhof).
Munich
Munich (München ) - capital of Bavaria - offers you the most of Southern German culture and customs and people from all over the world meet every year at the famous Beer festival at the end of September (Oktoberfest). Not far away from the capital Oberammergau where the famous Passion Plays take place every 10 years, is worth a visit.
