From the largest cities to the tiniest towns, there are exciting places to see up and down Germany. Home to the castle that inspired Walt Disney, the small German village of Hohenschwangau is one of the most-visited places in the country, whilst the outstanding landscapes seen from the tranquil town of Sankt Goar, over the Rhine River, are included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Goar by the Rhine also boasts a unique piece of German history: the largest free-hanging cuckoo clock in the world. These smaller locations are just as iconic and incredible as the larger ones, like the grand city of Cologne or capital city of Berlin. Berlin’s Christmas markets are a special experience; from November all the way into January, these remarkable markets are filled with beauty and nostalgia, each with seasonal delicacies and unique atmospheres. Exploring more of Germany’s history, delve into the Eifel region of western Germany in the old weaving town of Monschau, with its traditional homes and cobblestoned streets, or discover the Baroque Old Town of Heidelberg. With so much to see and do, start planning a fully escorted holiday to Germany with Shearings.
