Active holidays in Germany with Eurotrek

Germany inspires active travellers with its seemingly unlimited diversity

The Bavarian Alps, the Black Forest, the Eifel and the striking Elbe Sandstone Mountains offer an impressive variety of picturesque landscapes. In the north, vast plains, idyllic coastlines and charming islands captivate visitors.

Countless lakes invite you to relax. Along major rivers such as the Danube, Rhine and Elbe, as well as romantic tributaries like the Altmühl and Pegnitz, visitors can discover a tranquil, rural Germany — ideal for hiking, cycling and canoeing.

Historical sights & innovative buildings

Fans of historic buildings in Germany will get their money's worth all around. Countless historically significant places and cities with beautiful old town centres and sights inspire as much as the great number of castles and numerous witnesses from Roman times like the Porta Nigra, the former Roman city gate in Trier on the River Moselle.

In Germany, there is a large number of innovative buildings, especially in the metropolises, such as the Sumatrakontor in Hamburg, the JOH3 in Düsseldorf and the Sony Center in Berlin.
