Germany has so much to offer in hidden treasures other than the popular destinations of Berlin, Munich, and Neuschwanstein Castle. For some out-of-the-way adventures, some lesser-seen but amazing attractions await your discovery:
*1. Blautopf (Blue Pot), Baden-Württemberg*
An astonishing blue karst spring within the Blaubeuren town. The deep blue of the water almost appears to be a surreal fantasy, with an added mystique of caves surrounding the area.
*2. Rakotzbrücke (Devil's Bridge), Saxony*
A circular bridge made entirely in a perfect circle that exists in Kromlau Park. It is from the 19th century and gives the most breathtaking reflection in water, giving it a celestial appearance.
*3. Eibsee, Bavaria*
Generally dwarfed by Zugspitze (Germany's tallest mountain), Eibsee is a beautiful alpine lake of emerald-colored water, ideal for trekking, swimming, or simply basking.
*4. Monschau, North Rhine-Westphalia*
A picturesque medieval town close to the Belgian border, with half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and a pretty river running through it.
*5. Spreewald, Brandenburg*
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve famous for its system of canals where you can go traditional punting boat tours, visit quaint villages, and sample the renowned Spreewald pickles.
*6. Beelitz-Heilstätten, Brandenburg*
An old 19th-century sanatorium left abandoned and converted into a "treetop walkway" attraction. The rotten buildings, coupled with nature taking over the site, make for a hauntingly lovely view.
*7. Lichtenstein Castle, Baden-Württemberg*
A fairytale castle situated dramatically on top of a cliff, also known as the "Little Neuschwanstein" but without tourists.
*8. Wadden Sea, Lower Saxony*
A UNESCO World Heritage site where you can actually walk on the sea bed at low tide and visit special marine environments.
*9. Görlitz, Saxony*
A stunningly well-preserved medieval town frequently employed as a location for Hollywood films (e.g., The Grand Budapest Hotel). It's steeped in history and breathtaking architecture.
*10. Baumwipfelpfad (Tree Top Walk), Bavarian Forest*
One of the world's longest tree-top walks, with spectacular panoramic views of the Bavarian Forest National Park.
