Königssee

In Germany, the cities, Berlin in the first place, are particularly attractive. But the landscapes too! The country has a hundred natural parks, which cover a quarter of its area. Among them are 16 national parks. Seashores, islands, mountains, forests, marshes, rivers, etc.: their variety is limitless. These preserved treasures can be discovered in many ways, by car, motorcycle, on foot, on horseback, by bicycle or by boat. Germany is also a natural place and its landscapes are worth the trip. Here are 5 of the most emblematic sites across the Rhine.

Hölderlin Wagner, through Friedrich and Beethoven, the theme of nature fed the German Romantics creators of the 19th century, both musicians, writers or painters. An almost mystical source of inspiration and exhilaration which, in part, had its origin in the idealization of very ancient myths.

Something has remained of it in Germany in recent decades where there is a firm battle over environmental issues. It should be noted that this is the European country where environmental organizations have had the largest audience since the 1970s.

Wadden Sea National Park Schleswig-Holstein

The Wadden Sea is the name given to an area of ​​the North Sea which runs along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.

The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park (Nationalpark Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer) covers a large part of it over 4,410 km². It is the largest in its category.

On this coastline there are magnificent landscapes: dunes, salt meadows, beaches, marshes or even the Halligen, these islets with unusual shapes, often tiny, on which rise houses.

The walks are done on foot, at low tide, or by boat. They allow in particular to approach schools of seals.

Going south-west, the Wadden Sea National Parks of Hamburg and Lower Saxony (Niedersächsisches), where the Frisian Islands (or Friesian) are aligned, offer you similar beauties.

Jasmund National Park

The Jasmund National Park (Nationalpark Jasmund) extends over the peninsula which gives it its name, itself located on the large island of Rügen.

Close to the mainland, it is bordered by the Baltic Sea. If its dimensions are relatively modest, its attractions are impressive.

You have chalk cliffs, the tallest of which rise almost 120 meters, which inspired one of the most famous paintings by the romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich (Kreidefelsen auf Rügen). In addition to the cliffs, the park contains a natural wonder that has earned it World Heritage status by Unesco: the primary beech forest of Germany, some of whose trees are 8 centuries old.
