1. Zugspitze

The Zugspitze is at 2,962 meters the highest mountain in Germany and that has a considerable attraction for tourists from home and abroad. Traveling to the top is only a matter of minutes, as the state-of-the-art location takes you up in 10 minutes.

The large panoramic point at the top of the mountain offers a great view all year round and is also the scene of countless fun events.

2. Heidelberg

One of the most beautiful cities in Germany is Heidelberg. In this oldest university town in the country, Heidelberg Palace is the main attraction, but the rest of the center is just as atmospheric. Follow in the footsteps of writers such as Goethe and Mark Twain, and stroll through the historic center with its many picturesque streets. Heidelberg forms a succession of beautiful squares and buildings, but is at the same time a real student city, with plenty of affordable hotspots, nice cafes and an exuberant nightlife.

3. Saxon Switzerland

Where should we start by telling about Saxon Switzerland? Because what is it beautiful here. This National Park is located in the east of Germany and is part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Here it is beautiful walking in a jagged landscape of towering rock formations and every climb is rewarded with spectacular views. One of the most beautiful spots in the area is the view of the Bastei Bridge. This historic bridge was built in 1851 and underlines its fairytale character. Tip: combine a visit to Saxon Switzerland with a city trip to Dresden. The city is less than 50 kilometers from the park.

4. Lake Constance

Lake Constance is located on the border of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and offers 536 square kilometers of water fun. It is one of the largest lakes in Europe and a popular holiday destination among different types of travelers. The beautiful surroundings offer plenty of sporting opportunities, but you can also lie on the beach. In addition, in this part of Germany you will find the necessary vineyards, where you can taste the local color. With a holiday park on Lake Constance as a base, you can also make plenty of beautiful trips to beautiful places in the area, or visit one of the neighboring countries.

5. Black Forest

The Black Forest is located in the southwestern tip of Germany in the state of Baden-Württemberg , which means that this versatile area is easily accessible from the Netherlands. The Black Forest is full of natural highlights and pretty villages, and the restaurants serve the tastiest local dishes. Can you picture yourself sitting on one of the many beautiful terraces, enjoying a sandwich with Schwarzwälder Schincken and a glass of Kirschschnapps? It's a well-deserved treat after a long bike ride through the woods or a hike to the Triberg waterfalls.

6. Monschau

For the ultimate German picture you have to travel to Monschau, an attractive village that is about an hour's drive from Maastricht. The town is beautifully situated on a winding river and is known for its beautiful architecture. Here you can admire the iconic half-timbered houses and at the same time get acquainted with special local traditions. During a walk through the historic city center you will not get bored and you can sit on the terrace, but it is also recommended to walk to the higher situated castle or to visit the Eifel National Park.

7. Moselle Valley

Tasty wines, vast natural beauty, castles and challenging cycling and hiking trails: that is the Moselle Valley (also known as the Moselle Valley) in a nutshell. This delightful holiday region follows the course of the Moselle river and enjoyment is a common thread through your stay. Experience the good German life in this region where you can visit local winegrowers and follow in the footsteps of the Romans, Celts and the Germans.

Tip : One of our favorite holiday parks in the Moselle Valley is Landal Sonnenberg . This nice family park has comfortable bungalows and a beautiful location on the Moselle. From your house you can look right over the beautiful valley with the river, but also the villages of Leiwen and Trittemheim. An ideal base for discovering the area!

8. Jasmund National Park

As a holiday destination, Germany is not really known for its beaches and seaside resorts, but after seeing photos of the Jasmund National Park, the German coast will undoubtedly rise on your list. The park is popular for its impressive chalk cliffs that rise straight from the water. A spectacularly beautiful sight, especially if you visit this place on a clear day. The water turns bright blue and the rocks look bright white, and together it forms a very beautiful picture. There are several walks that lead to beautiful viewpoints, but you can also take a boat along the coast.

9. Neuschwanstein Castle

Bavaria is a versatile destination and a worthy place to spend a holiday, but the highlight of your visit is a trip to the famous Neuschwanstein Castle . The castle dates from the 19th century and is located on top of a mountain, which certainly contributes to its fairytale appearance. From Munich it is about a 1.5 hour drive, and then you have to take a train up the mountain. The castle itself can only be visited with a guide and it can be useful to book tickets in advance. Did you just miss an entrance ticket? In any case, enjoy the phenomenally beautiful view from the opposite Marienbrücke.

10. Berlin

Finally, Berlin, the vibrant capital and a source of cultural and creative initiatives. A city where trends are born and no visit has to be the same. Berlin does not really have a center, but consists of different neighborhoods, each with its own character. Moreover, a city with history and there are plenty of places to take you back in time. For example, follow the cycle route along the Berlin Wall, view the abandoned Tempelhof airport or visit the Stasi museum. After all, you will not get here so quickly.
