Tip	To Do	Lehde \n		0
Tip	To Do	Marburg \n	The small university town of Marburg is a labyrinth of higgledy streets with its well-preserved half-timbered houses rising up the hill on the west bank of the Lahn river. Its Elisabethkirche is Germany's oldest pure Gothic cathedral. Perched on the highest point, the imposing 13th-century castle Landgrafenschloss looms over the pretty town. For more wonderful views, hike up to the Spiegelslustturm (Kaiser Wilhelm Tower), or to soak in the river scenery take a pedal boat trip.	0
Tip	To Do	Alsfeld \n	Step straight into the stories of the Brothers Grimm in the old town of Alsfeld. With its ancient half-timbered houses and striking twin-turreted town hall, it has lashings of fairy-tale charm. Go on a Grimm-themed tour and discover the brothers� tales inside the Fairy Tale House, a half-timbered building dating from 1628. Little Red Riding Hood is thought to have been inspired by the Schwalm region's local traditional costume of a red cap.	0
Tip	To Do	Trendelburg \n	Huddled on the river Diemel, little Trendelburg enchants with its old-world charm but it's the fairy-tale tower in the town's 13th-century castle, thought to have inspired the tale of Rapunzel, that lures most visitors. A popular stop on Germany's Fairy Tale Route, which runs from Hanau in central Germany to Bremen in the north, the long-haired princess makes regular appearances in the window of the tower, which is now a hotel. While you're in town, take a canoe trip along the river and go for a pedal around its network of forest trails.	0
Tip	To Do	Goslar \n	Steeped in tales of miners, witches and emperors, Goslar in the Harz mountains is a bewitching place. The beautiful UNESCO World Heritage town was founded after silver was discovered in the mountains in AD 968. You can go into Europe�s oldest subterranean mine chamber, the 13th-century Feuergez�he, at the Rammelsberg Mining Museum. The sprawling Imperial Palace of Goslar and the medieval old town's pretty marketplace are other highlights. Along with most Harz towns, Goslar celebrates all things witchcraft on Walpurgis Night each Spring.	0
Tip	To Do	Wernigerode	Located at the northern edge of the Harz mountains, Wernigerode is a wonderful place for a break with its cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. Among its most notable buildings is the unique Gothic town hall, which has a timber fa�ade from 1498 and twin turrets (pictured), and the fairy-tale-like 12th-century castle that looms high above the old town. Winter is a magical time to visit Wernigerode when snow dusts its rooftops and Christmas decorations twinkle. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	Quedlinburg	Dominated by a palace and abbey complex perched high on a sandstone bluff, Quedlinburg in the Hartz mountains is a treasure trove of medieval riches. As capital of the East Franconian German Empire from 919 to 1024 and a prosperous trading town, it�s now UNESCO-listed and has more than 1,300 timber-framed buildings lining the sloped streets of its old town and M�nzenberg hill. It has exquisite Romanesque churches and monastic buildings too, along with a beautifully preserved Marktplatz and stunning Gothic town hall. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	L�neburg \n	At 1,050-years-old L�neburg is one of the oldest and best-looking towns in northern Germany. Located between the Elbe river and the colourful heathland of Lower Saxony, the Hanseatic trade town � famous for its salt production � has an abundance of medieval treasures, not to mention gabled red-brick houses and pretty old churches. But as a university town too, L�neburg is lively with plenty of places to enjoy food and drinks. The Stintmarkt (Smelt Market) at the old harbour (pictured) is a lovely spot to try the local beer.	0
Tip	To Do	Celle \n	Another of north-central Germany�s medieval gems, Celle�s history dates back 800 years. Once the home of European nobility, it is rich in historic buildings including having one of Europe's largest collections of listed half-timbered houses (just under 500, don�t miss the beautiful Hoppener Haus) and a charming castle that dates from 1292. Notable features include its 16th-century chapel with a Renaissance interior and 17th-century theatre, the oldest existing example of a Baroque theatre in Germany. Celle sits scenically on the banks of the Aller river and is well located for hikes into Lower Saxony�s bucolic heathlands. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	Friedrichstadt \n	Chug along the canals of Friedrichstadt in Schleswig-Holstein and you�ll be forgiven for thinking you�re in the Netherlands. With its Dutch-style red-brick houses, stone arch bridges and canals, Friedrichstadt is unsurprisingly known as Little Amsterdam. The town was founded by Dutch settlers in 1621 � discover its history at the museum Alte M�nze, which has fascinating exhibitions, and is a beautiful example of Dutch Renaissance architecture. True to form, cycling is also big here � tackle part of the Viking Friesian Cycle Path that stretches across Schleswig-Holstein from coast to coast. Bookmarked on Maps.me	0
Tip	To Do	Hamburg \n	From fascinating historical architecture to striking futuristic buildings to some of the best nightlife in Europe, Hamburg has it all. Nestled on the River Elbe, Germany�s second-largest metropolis prides itself with an abundance of parks and green spaces, a treasure-packed historic center, and more bridges than any other city in the world. Fine dining restaurants line the riverbank, museums are bursting with world-class art and naval memorabilia, and its beautiful Town Hall is a marvel of neo-Renaissance architecture. Those with more contemporary tastes should definitely visit the futuristic HafenCity district, one of Europe�s most ambitious inner-city developments. This 2.2 sq km area along Hamburg�s port is a striking mix of towering skyscrapers, modern glass facades, and airy promenades, with a shimmering concert hall (Elbphilharmonie) designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and its heart. Otherwise, the UNESCO-awarded Speicherstadt is the largest warehouse district on the planet, a remarkable ensemble of Neo-Gothic brick buildings built on oak piles and interspersed with century-old waterways.	0
Tip	To Do	St Peter-Ording \n	The stilt houses of St Peter-Ording are a unique sight along the wind-buffed North Sea coastline. The towering wooden structures were built along the wide sands of this scenic seaside resort more than 100 years ago for beachgoers. Today they still replenish visitors with their caf�s and soaring views. Set within the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, St Peter-Ording is a popular health resort and home to many wellness centres. It�s also much loved by kite-surfers and surfers. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	L�beck \n	L�beck enjoys great status as a trading city, which began in the 14th century when it became the unofficial Queen of the Hanseatic League. Beyond that, L�beck is listed on the Unesco World Heritage List as one of the best examples of a brick Gothic city, with the centre especially flaunting many buildings in the style. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	Binz To see: Binz	A pretty seaside resort on Germany's northeastern island of R�gen, Binz has sandy beaches, fancy hotels and coastal walks � most famously to its white chalk cliffs. Its pine-backed beaches are lined with ornate white villas that date from the 19th century when it became a popular place to bathe. You can't miss the resort's traditional canopied chairs, made from wicker and canvas and known as strandk�rbe (beach baskets), which stretch all along the waterfront. NOT bookmarked on Maps.me	0
Tip	To Do	Sellin To see: Sellin	Another Baltic Sea resort town on Germany's R�gen island, Sellin is famous for its Seebr�cke (pier) with a 1920s style pavilion (recreated in 1998). Smaller then Binz, it has similar typical German resort architecture and strandk�rbe on the white sand beach. It's a popular spot for a spa and wellness break � and weddings. Bookmarked on Maps.me	0
Tip	To Do	Ahrenshoop \n	Can't get there this time The hamlet of Ahrenshoop is beautifully located on a peninsula between the Baltic Sea and the bodden (wetlands). Home to a population of around 700 people, its harbour has traditional fishing huts and elsewhere thatched fishermen's houses sit back from the sand dunes. As well as a scenic setting, the village has plenty of culture to offer. Unsurprisingly it�s attracted many artists over the years with its light and landscapes � its painting school was founded in 1894 and features an art museum.	0
Tip	To Do	Wismar \n	Sat on Germany's Baltic Sea coastline, Wismar is a weekender's delight. With its colourful and characterful buildings (evidence of Swedish rule during the 16th and 17th centuries), Gothic architecture and old harbour, the once powerful trading port is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wismar�s picture-perfect looks have long lured filmmakers too: its harbour famously featured in the 1922 Dracula movie Nosferatu. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	Rostock \n	Rostock is worth a visit for its four historic gates and its beautiful churches, including St. Mary�s Church, Nikolai Church and St. Petri Church. But the main draw for tourists in summer is the beautiful Warnem�nde Beach, a very short drive away from Rostock. When in Warnem�nde, take some time to stroll along the Am Strom promenade, lined with cafes, restaurants and shops. Bookmarked on Maps.Me	0
Tip	To Do	Seebrucke Sellin Point of Interest: Sellin Pier (German: Seebr�cke Sellin)	Sellin Pier (German: Seebr�cke Sellin) is a pier in the Baltic seaside resort of Sellin on the German island of R�gen. The pier has a restaurant near the beach over the water and has a diving gondola (Tauchgondel). Bookmarked on Maps.me	0
Tip	To Do	Insel Vilm Point of interest: Insel Vilm	The Baltic Sea island of Vilm lies in the bay south of the much larger island of R�gen, and is one of Germany's most remote and tranquil spots. Covering less than 1 square kilometre, Vilm is the remnant of a moraine left as the glaciers retreated about 6000 years ago. Bookmarked on Maps.me	0
Tip	To Do	Stralsund	Stralsund is a Hanseatic town on Germany�s Baltic coast. Its Old Town has many red-brick Gothic landmarks, like the 13th-century Town Hall. The Stralsund Museum maintains a medieval merchant�s house and monastery. The Ozeaneum aquarium has tanks recreating the habitats of the Baltic Sea and North Sea, plus a penguin pool. In the harbor is Gorch Fock I, a 1933 tall ship. A bridge links Stralsund to R�gen island	0
Tip	To Do	Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft \n	Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft National Park. The largest national park on Germany's Baltic coast combines the roar of the wild and the sound of silence. It's famous for the Baltic Sea's unique lagoons � the �Bodden� � and a constantly changing coastline. Over the centuries, the area has created an impressive mosaic of habitats with a diverse flora and fauna. Here, nature is allowed to develop within its own rules, true to the philosophy of all 16 of Germany's national parks: �Let nature be nature�.	0
Tip	To Do	Berlin Wall Memorial	Border control in Bernauer Stra�e What was once the border strip is now a place of remembrance. The Berlin Wall memorial gives you a moving insight into the division of Berlin. A GDR soldier jumping over the fence at the last moment. People jumping out of windows into sheets held out by West Berlin firemen � images of Bernauer Stra�e in August 1961 were seen all over the world. Today this historic location is the site of the Berlin Wall Memorial where the partition of Berlin is remembered. 1 Hour by train from AirBnB. 15 min by train from Brandenburg Gate	0
Tip	To Do	Soviet War Memorial Treptow	Soviet Memorial Treptow In memory of the victims of the Second World War 80,000 Soviet soldiers died in the Second World War fighting to capture Berlin. The Soviet War Memorial in Treptow commemorates them. Only a few steps from the busy Treptower Hafen is the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park. You enter the cemetery of honour through a large triumphal arch framed by tall trees and lush green grass, and then there is a respectful silence all around you. 1 hour by train from AirBnB or Brandenburg Gate	0
