Germany
Bavarian lakes, Berlin design and Black Forest spas
Germany, on its better side — Bavarian lakes, Berlin design and the Black Forest spa.
Travellers often skip Germany. We do not. Munich and the Bavarian alpine lakes are some of the most underrated summer weeks in Europe, Berlin holds the most interesting design and food scene on the continent, and the Black Forest spas (Brenners Park-Hotel) are a category of their own.
Pair with Austria or Switzerland for a longer alpine arc.
A year in Germany
