Here are the 100 best things to do in Germany that will show you the charm, beauty and cultural diversity of this country.

Germany is rich with surprises and contrasts just waiting to be discovered by the discerning tourist. A country of enchanting little villages nestling between lofty and imposing mountains, fairytale castles and churches and lush vineyards rolling down towards the banks of the Rhine or the Mosel, Germany also boasts of the more rumbustious Munich Beer Festival and the Cologne Carnival, a very fine choice of gateaux, sausages and beer and a powerful and somewhat spooky folkloric tradition.

82. Berchtesgaden Eagle`s Nest, Salt Mine and National Park

Berchtesgaden, with its stunning location in the Bavarian Alps near the Austrian border, is a beautiful if little-known resort for a holiday. Its famous “Eagle’s Nest” (or “Kehlsteinhaus” in German) is located right on the peak of the Kehlstein mountain, at a height of 1.835 metres, offering a breathtaking view of the three parallel valleys which encompass the Berchtesgaden National Park. The first salt mines here were opened in 1517 and are the oldest salt mines still active in Germany. A visit to the salt mines of Berchtesgaden is an unforgettable experience.

Berchtesgaden is 30 minutes by bus from Salzburg, or 2 hours 45 minutes from Munich by train.

83. Lake Königssee and St. Bartholomew’s Church

Lake Königssee, reputedly the cleanest lake in Germany, is a mountain lake around 7.7 kilometres long and 1.7 kilometres wide situated in Bavaria, close to the Austrian border. It is the third deepest lake in Germany. Famed for its echo, its majestic waterfalls and the distinctive pilgrims`church of St. Bartholomew, Lake Königssee is a popular resort for visitors and locals alike.

Lake Königssee is easily accessible from Berchtesgaden railway station by bus and a ten minute walk. The nearest airport is Salzburg.

84. Old Town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber

The mediaeval charm of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Middle Franconia is legendary. The little town became so impoverished during the 17th century that it stopped growing, and it sustained little damage during WWII, so its mediaeval state is astonishingly well-preserved. Take a voyage back in time when you walk its cobbled streets or around its old town wall. Visit the Mediaeval Crime Museum and the Castle Gardens and glory in the view from the Town Hall’s 50 metre high tower.

Rothenburg ob der Tauber can be easily reached by train from Munich (2.5 hours), Nuremberg (1.15 hours) or Frankfurt (3 hours). The nearest airport is Stuttgart.
