Germany Vacations
Vacation Ideas
Germany Vacations #1:Tour Neusschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. This was the home of "Mad" King Ludwig who spent 17 years building this "fairy-tale" castle yet only lived in it for 172 days. It is considered by many to be Europe's most spectacular castle. Hohenschwangua Castle, which was Ludwig's boyhood home, is nearby. Vacation Ideas in Germany #2:Have a thrill watching the daredevil Hang Gliders and Parasailers that swarm off the top of the Tegelberg gondola in Bavaria. You can ride the lift to the top and watch as scores of thrill seekers leap off the 5,500-foot summit. You can ride back down or if you are in a mood for some exercise it's a good two and a half hour walk back down. Germany Vacations Idea #3:If you like to plan ahead mark your vacation calendar for the year 2010. The town of Oberammergau will be performing the Passion Play to sold out audiences. When the Black Plague hit some, 350 years ago, the people of the town made a deal with God and were spared. Once each decade they perform the all-day drama of the crucifixion of Christ. In 2000 they had audiences of 5,000 for all 100 performances. Vacation Ideas in Germany #4:In Tirol you will find a favorite pastime of thrill seekers, The Luge. There are two near Reutte. Bichlbach is shorter but steeper while Biberwier is longer. You take a lift up to the top, climb into the luge, a cross between a sled and a go-cart, and then you hurtle down to the bottom. It's an exciting ride that is considered safe for even a novice. Germany Vacations Idea #5: How about a Black Forest walking tour. Active Journeys has a self-guided walk that winds its way through a dense and vast forested area crossed by large valleys. You will pass through ancient villages and towns amid the most dramatic scenery in the region. Vacation Ideas in Germany #6:For a taste of The Middle Ages visit romantic Rothenburg, Germany's best preserved medieval walled town. Take a walk along the wall or a walking tour of the city. Also don't miss the iemenschneider wood carving in St. Jakob's Church and the Medieval Crime and Punishment Museum. Vacations in Germany #7:Along the Berlin wall is the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie Museum which preserves the memory of the famous checkpoint between the American and Soviet sectors of Berlin during the Cold War. Here at one of Europe's most interesting museums you can get a taste of the drama and heroism of daring escapes over, under, and through the infamous wall. Germany Vacations Idea #8:A trip to Dachau would not be what I consider a "cool" or fun part of a vacation. But it is interesting, thought-provoking and well worth your time. It is a powerful experience and a good reminder to everyone of our duty to be vigilant against evil. There are other Nazi concentration camps but Dachau is the most accessible to the public. Germany Vacations Idea #9:How about a Houseboat Tour in the state of Mecklenburg-West. The area is renowned for it's large number of interconnected rivers and lakes, creating a network of waterways that make it possible to tour much of the state by houseboat. There is no more comfortable or intimate way of discovering the lovely Mecklenburg countryside.
