The 100 best things to do in Germany 27/33

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.

79. Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe (Kassel)

The landscape park of Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel was proclaimed a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2013 and is the only one of its kind in the world. 2.4 square kilometres in area, it rises up the Karlsberg mountain to a height of 526.2 metres. The summit is dominated by the prodigious Hercules Monument, one of Kassel`s most famous landmarks.

The Park is most famous for its downward-running water cascades and fountains and its panorama view of the city of Kassel with its elegant castle of Wilhelmshöhe. It is only 7 kilometres from the railway station and can be reached by car or bus in around 15 minutes. Closest airports are Hanover or Frankfurt.

 

80. Opel Zoo (Kronberg in Taunus)

The Opel Zoo lies in a thickly-wooded area between Königstein and Kronberg in Taunus, Hessen. Founded in 1955, it has rapidly grown to become the second largest zoo in Hessen and the only one to house the african elephant. The Zoo was furthermore successful in rescuing the mesopotamian fallow deer from extinction and is part of further plans to salvage more endangered species.

More than 1,4000 animals can be viewed here in a natural setting close to their preferred habitat. There are a number of events and children are allowed to feed many of the animals, making a trip to the Opel Zoo a great family outing. The Zoo is best accessed by taking a bus from Kronbach railway station to Königstein, exiting at “Opel-Zoo”.

 

81. Therme Erding (Munich)

At 145,000 square metres, Therme Erding is the second largest complex of baths in Europe. They consist of four distinct sections: the “Galaxy” waterslide section, the “Thermen Paradies” with spas, hot springs, Jacuzzi and water massage, the “Sauna Paradies” with 25 different saunas and the “Vital Oase” (both only available to those aged 16 or over). For a day of water fun, relaxation and wellness, the Therme Erding is hard to beat.

Therme Erding is located 30 minutes by car or just over an hour by train from Munich railway station. The nearest airport is Munich.
