Germany holidays
It is a mystery why Germany is often overlooked, as its outdoor adventure infrastructure is second to none. Whether cycling iconic idylls such as Bodensee or the Danube, hiking through Bavarian alpine meadows, or boating from castle to castle, vineyard to vineyard in Rhineland-Palatinate. Train travel is also superb for Germany holidays, and inn to inn style holidays are very popular, so often you don’t even need a car. Which is good, because beer and wine are always flowing.
