Beschreibung 7 Most Recommended Tourist Attractions in Germany History, culture and natural beauty may best describe the essence of vacationing in Germany. With its many historic towns and small towns, along with its abundance of forests and mountains, visitors are spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a unique place to visit. Those who want to see or experience art should go to a metropolitan area such as Munich, Frankfurt, or Hamburg. For those looking for Travel Tips, consider visiting places like the Bavarian Alps, Black Forest or Rhine Valley. 1. Berlin's Brandenburg Gate Modeled on the Acropolis in Athens and built for King Frederick William II in 1791, the monumental sandstone Brandenburg Gate in Berlin's Mitte district was the city's first Neoclassical structure. It measures an impressive 26 meters in height, including the Quadriga, a spectacular four-horse chariot that carries the goddess of victory perched on it. Its six large columns on each side of the building form five impressive passageways: four are used by regular traffic, while the middle is reserved for royal chariots. Large Doric columns also adorn the two buildings on each side of the Gate, which were once used by tax collectors and guards. Undoubtedly Berlin's most iconic structure, it's hard to believe that the majestic structure you see today was badly damaged during World War II and was once part of the famous Berlin Wall and was, for decades, a symbol of the division of Berlin into East and West. West. 2. Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) soaring St. Peter and St. Mary is situated on the banks of the Rhine and is undoubtedly Cologne's most impressive landmark. This masterpiece of High Gothic architecture, one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, began in 1248 and was the most ambitious construction project of the Middle Ages. As impressive as the facade is, the grand interior covers an area of 6,166 square meters and features 56 massive pillars. Above the high altar is the Reliquary of the Three Kings, a 12th-century gold work of art designed by Nicholas of Verdun to house the relics of the Three Kings brought here from Milan. Other highlights include the panoramic views from the South Tower, the 12th and 13th-century stained glass in the Chapel of the Three Kings, and the Treasury with its many treasures, all of which survived largely intact after World War II. For some of the best views over the city and river, climb the 533 steps to the lookout platform at the South Tower. (A small entry fee is required.) 3. Black Forest The beautiful Black Forest with its dark, densely forested hills is one of the most visited highland areas in all of Europe. Located in the southwest corner of Germany and stretching 160 kilometers from Pforzheim in the north to Waldshut on the High Rhine in the south, this is a hiker's paradise. On the west side, it descends sharply into the Rhine, crossed by fertile valleys, while on the east, it slopes more gently into the Neckar and upper Danube valleys. Popular attractions include Germany's oldest ski area at Todtnau, the magnificent spa facilities in Baden-Baden and the attractive resort of Bad Liebenzell. Other highlights include the spectacular Black Forest Railway centered in Triberg with its famous waterfalls, and Triberg itself, home to the Black Forest Open Air Museum. The best way to catch them all? Pick up a map of the Black Forest Panoramic Route, a 70-kilometer driving tour that offers some of the best views of the region, along with its main historical attractions, including stunning castles and medieval towns and villages. 4. Tallest Fairy Tale Castle The quaint old town of Füssen, nestled between Ammergau and the Allgäu Alps as well as a popular alpine resort and winter sports center, is a good base from which to explore nearby Neuschwanstein Castle, one of Europe's most famous (and beautiful) royal castles. King Ludwig II of Bavaria built this fantasy castle with many towers and served as the inspiration for the famous Walt Disney theme park castle from 1869-86. A variety of tour options are offered on the Campjam.orgwebsite, including guided tours of the lavish interiors of the Throne Room, Singers Hall... and some of the most spectacular views in the country. 5. Miniature Wunderland In the heart of the historic Port of Hamburg, the majestic Miniatur Wunderland, the world's largest model railway, is an attraction that appeals to young and old alike. Offering over 12,000 meters of track, this large-scale model includes sections dedicated to the United States, Britain and Scandinavia (as well as Hamburg) and incorporates 890 trains, more than 300,000 lights and over 200,000 human figures. It's not uncommon for guests to spend hours exploring this wondrous world with its highly detailed mini airports (and planes that actually take off), bustling cities, quaint countryside views, and bustling harbours. For an unforgettable experience, book one of the behind-the-scenes tours, a very fun thing to do at night. Speaking of the port, be sure to explore the sprawling Port of Hamburg while you're there. Covering 100 square kilometers, this huge tidal port is one of the largest cruise terminals in the world, and is known as the Gateway to Germany best explored by boat. Afterwards, visit the harborside promenade, scenic walking routes, and the Warehouse District with its rows of tall, brick warehouses. 6. Rhine Valley The Rhine is not only the most important waterway in Europe, but also the most beautiful. With a total length of 1,320 kilometers, this majestic river stretches from Switzerland through Germany to the Netherlands. While there are many places in Germany to enjoy this majestic river, the picturesque section of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site is perhaps the most popular place for tourists to visit. Here, this often dramatic 65-kilometer stretch of river boasts more than 40 castles and some 60 picturesque medieval towns, all waiting to be explored either by river cruise or by car. Looking for a great place to start your Rhine Valley adventure? Interview, where the river cuts through a deep gorge before entering the Bacharach valley, is a good place to start. 7. Berlin Museum Island Museumsinsel, or the world-famous Museum Island, is located between the River Spree and Kupfergraben, a canal 400 meters off the river. This extraordinary attraction includes many of the city's oldest and most important museums. The heart of this pedestrian-friendly district is the Old Museum, built in 1830 as a place to exhibit royal treasures. Soon after, the land behind the museum was set aside for art and "ancient knowledge". Between 1843-55 the New Museum was formed, and the National Gallery was added in 1876, along with the Bode Museum, built in 1904 and home to a collection of antiques. Another highlight of this walking tour of these spectacular places of interest is Pergamon with its historical buildings recreated from the Middle East. But be warned: there is so much to see among these amazing museums that you can't possibly cram it in in one day. Letzte Aktivitäten Verlinkungen |
