All of us are itching to step outside, get on the next train and explore a place that is different to where we’ve been stuck over the last weeks and months (or how it really feels, all of 2020). Due to this enormous change in our lives, many people have started to rethink travel. This rethinking has been caused by a few things: travel restrictions to foreign countries, the newly awoken appreciation of the beauty of our own country, the realization of how great the impact of sustainable travel can be and many more. The final result of rethinking travel is simple and obvious for many of us: Go on vacation in your own country this year. To make the search for the best places to visit in Germany much easier, we researched and came up with this list of the five best places to visit in Germany after the quarantine is over.

  • 4. Best Medieval Region to Visit in Germany: The Eifel

    The Eifel is one of Germany’s most popular regions. This is because it is home to more than 1,000 medieval castles and, therefore, very famous among photographers. Many of these castles are very well maintained and depict the beauty of this time period. Moreover, many castles are not accessible by car, which is why there is an abundance of hiking trails leading to various castles tucked in the middle of gorgeous forested valleys and hills. One of the most famous castles is the Eltz castle which has become a bucket list destination for most travelers.

    We’ll be writing an extensive article about the Eifel eventually, but for now, we recommend reading through the official website of the Eifel to find out more.

  • 5. Best Mountain Vacation in Germany: Mittenwald, Bavaria

    We’ve been to almost every mountainous region in Germany and the region around Mittenwald has always remained our favorite. Mittenwald is located in the very south of Germany on the Austrian border and is tucked between the mountains of the Alps. This beautiful small town serves as the perfect base to explore immediate surroundings. Numerous trails and ski slopes are located within walking distance. Find out more about this beautiful mountain escape in our more detailed article about Mittenwald.
