North Rhine–Westphalia, land (state) of western Germany. It is bordered by the states of Lower Saxony to the north and northeast, Hessen to the east, and Rhineland-Palatinate to the south and by the countries of Belgium to the southwest and the Netherlands to the west. The state of North Rhine–Westphalia was created in 1946 through the amalgamation of the former Prussian province of Westphalia and the northern portion of the Prussian Rhine province; the former state of Lippe was incorporated in 1947. The principalities that existed until about 1800 in the area are recalled by regional names: Münsterland in the north, Sauerland in the southeast, and Berg in the vicinity of the cities of Düsseldorf and Cologne. The state capital is Düsseldorf.
North Rhine–Westphalia includes the upland regions of North Eifel in the southern part of the state and the mountains of the Sauerland in the southeast. Volcanic rock occurs in the region of the Siebengebirge (“Seven Hills”) on the eastern bank of the Rhine River. In the east the Westerwald—a mountainous region bordering the Weser River—is characterized by several escarpments and by the narrow, elongated ridges of the Teutoburg Forest and some small mountains. The northwest is composed of lowlands that gradually merge with the upland regions on the south and east. Forests predominate in the higher mountain regions, but in the lowlands large forests are generally found only in infertile sandy areas. Forested areas represent almost one-fourth of the state’s total land area. The north-flowing Rhine River, along with its major tributary, the Ruhr, drains the largest physical region of the state. Areas bordering on the west are eventually drained by the Meuse (Maas) River in neighbouring Belgium and the Netherlands. Those on the north are drained by the Ems and those on the northeast by the Weser. Ultimately, the entire drainage system empties into the North Sea.

Climate
The state’s proximity to the North Sea (and the Gulf Stream) makes the lowland zones mild in the winter, with mean January temperatures of about 1°C, while July temperatures average about 17°C. Precipitation is often less than 30 inches (762 mm) in the Rhine valley. The mountainous regions, however, are cool and wet.

The State of Bavaria (in German: Freistaat Bayern) comprises the entire southeast portion of Germany. It is geographically the largest federal state in the country.
Bayern shares international borders with Austria and the Czech Republic as well as with Switzerland (across Lake of Constance). Neighbouring federal states within Germany are Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Thuringia (Thüringen) and Saxony (Sachsen).

The landscape of Bavaria consists of four major regions: the Bavarian Alps, with Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany at 2,962m in south; the Alpine foothills, known as the Bavarian Alpine Foreland with its numerous lakes; the Eastern Bavarian central mountains, a wooded low-mountain region with Germany’s first national park, the Bavarian Forest National Park; and in west, the plateaus of Swabia and Frankenalb (Jura).

Bavaria is divided in 7 administrative regions: Oberfranken (Upper Franconia), Mittelfranken (Middle Franconia), Unterfranken (Lower Franconia), Bayerisch Schwaben with Allgäu (Bavarian Swabia), Oberpfalz, (Upper Palatinate), Oberbayern (Upper Bavaria), and Niederbayern (Lower Bavaria).

What are the hallmarks of Bavaria? Countless picturesque villages, Medieval royal seats and we mustn’t forget Munich, the region’s capital. Then there’s magnificent palaces and Baroque-style churches, Medieval abbeys and imposing castles. Internationally renowned attractions include King Ludwig II’s Neuschwanstein Castle and the Wieskirche Pilgrimage Church (a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Roman Limes, Würzburg, Bamberg, Regensburg, the Water Management System of Augsburg, the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth and the Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps). There are more than 100,000 architectural monuments, over 1,200 museums and collections, 40 high-end theatres and opera venues across the whole of Bavaria. So there are plenty of locations for traditional events such as the Oktoberfest in Munich, the Landshut Wedding historical pageant, the Oberammergau Passion Plays and the Christmas market in Nuremberg. But it takes more than just beautiful scenery and cultural diversity to keep attracting swathes of visitors to the region year after year. Luckily, Bavaria is known for its varied range of high-end packages with a focus on wellness, families, nature (summer and winter), culture and cities, food and drink and business travel that travellers know they can depend on.

Climate

June through September is deemed to be the best time to visit Bavaria. Warm summer months are famous for the bright cultural events like Kaltenberger Ritterturnier or Bayreuth Festival and for the perfect conditions for hiking in the Alps. Spring may offer thinner tourist crowds but is also famed for heavy showers, so it is nice to have an umbrella by your side. Bavarian autumn is mild but can be quite busy due to the Oktoberfest. As the period between November and February can be rather cold, packing a warm jacket sounds like a good idea. Moreover, skiing at Zugspitze makes an unforgettable winter experience, so don’t miss the chance to hit the slopes.

Brandenburg is the region surrounding the vibrant metropolis of Berlin. Explore the state capital Potsdam and travel through Europe in two hours. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the lake landscapes. Whether on a cycle tour along picturesque paths, a hike through green forests or a refreshing dip in a clear lake – Brandenburg is the perfect place to escape from everyday life.

12 holiday regions invite you to visit. Each has its own atmosphere and history that is worth discovering.

Culture

Brandenburg is renowned as the state of nature, water and cultural heritage. The region is full of palaces and parks, stately homes and gardens. Amongst them is the most famous Palace of Sanssouci. The picturesque castle with its fountains and vineyard terraces is part of Europe’s most significant and extensive park areas that it also hosts the Neues Palais, which is the last large castle complex in Prussian baroque style. Throughout the year, the cultural heritage is highlighted with concerts and performances such as the Potsdamer Schlössernacht (Night of the Palaces). The person who designed Sanssouci Palace was no one less than Prussian king Frederick the Great himself. Frederick was the happiest during his newlywed life at Rheinsberg Palace, an imposing town surrounded by lakes of the Ruppin region. If you are interested in the European history Brandenburg will not disappoint you: there are many stunning places ranging from royal palaces, gothic churches and monasteries, to GDR-heritage and industrial culture. Apart of the palaces and gardens film-making has a long tradition in Brandenburg’s capital. It started in the 1920s when great movie stars like Marlene Dietrich produced movies here in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Today, national and international productions such as Inglourious Basterds by Tarantino are shot in Europe’s oldest film complex. Further Highlights: The Tree-Top Path in Beelitz-Heilstätten, Art Museum Barberini and the Cecilienhof Palace in Potsdam, where the Potsdam Conference took place in the summer of 1945, also attract visitors. Since 2022, Potsdam has been one attraction richer: DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam, where modern and contemporary art is on display.

Nature and activities

As Brandenburg is renowned for its access to open landscape and to water, outdoor activities enjoy a great reputation. Anyone who wants to explore the state by bicycle can choose between ca. 7,000 kilometers of cycle paths along rivers like Havel, Oder, and Spree or through forests: all the routes can be planned to suit personal preferences, physical fitness and time. The topography is ideal for cyclists: Brandenburg mainly offers flat countryside, a number of idyllic nature reserves and a multitude of lakes and rivers. Famous paths include Berlin to Copenhagen, which connects the two capitals and the Oder-Neiße path where Europe’s latest meadow landscape awaits you. Finally, anyone who would like to combine two activities at a time has a smooth run on the “Fläming-Skate”. The wonderfully asphalted Fläming inline skating path leading through “Baruth Urstromtal” and “Niederer Fläming” (the Lower Fläming) is 100km in length and 3m in width offering cyclists and skaters best conditions for intense legwork. The fascinating waterways of the Spreewald have ceased to be the exclusive preserve of canoeists. A must for every visitor is a punt trip through the idyllic Spreewald or “Venice of Brandenburg”: an atmospheric and secretive labyrinth consisting of thousands of small and larger waterways. Sailing enthusiasts feel perfectly at home on the Scharmützelsee at the traditional spa resort of Bad Saarow. Houseboat fans can travel several hundred kilometers without any need for a driving license.

Gastronomy

Brandenburg is surrounded by Berlin and Poland, influencing it’s cuisine. Favorites include hearty dishes with a meat or fresh fish base, served with potatoes and fresh produce of the area.

Potatoes are usually peeled and boiled and served with meat, fish, or vegetables, but they are also eaten in the form of pancakes. Kartoffelpuffer introduced in Berlin Cuisine is that.

Eintoff, a stew in which everything is put and boiled, is also a food originating from the Berlin-Brandenburg region. Among them, the most famous is Grüne Bohnen Eintopf, which is made with beans, peas, potatoes and meat. Depending on your taste, you can add grilled sausage or change the ratio of ingredients.

Knieperkohl, a type of sauerkraut that originated in Prignitz in the northwest after the Thirty Years’ War , is also a representative food of Brandenburg. Meat dishes such as sausage, Kassler, and Eisbein are eaten together with potatoes.

Speckstippe, which is finely minced bacon and stir-fried with various vegetables, is also important .

Rich cultural landscape

Living tradition, history and heritage
The Romans, the Staufen dynasty, the Allemannians, dukes and kings have all left their unmistakable traces on the face of our cultural heritage – the Limes Road, the Roman boundary wall and Hohenzollern Castle, the seat of the last German imperial dynasty. A wealth of large and small castles, palaces and ruins bear witness to a rich and eventful history, a heritage which in some cases is still very much alive in their customs and traditions. One such example is the Swabian-Allemannian Fasnacht held at the end of Lent every spring, when traditional costumes and historic wooden masks symbolizing the banishment of Winter.

Leisure and enjoyment
Alongside historic cities such as Heidelberg, Freiburg or Tübingen, it is the carefully tended villages and the urban town centres which paint the true character of our state. Great importance is attached to hospitality, and the people of Germany’s southwest have a tremendous capacity for celebration and enjoyment. This love of life is reflected in the many wine and town festivals, fairs and street parties held all around the region. Different, but by no means less enjoyable, ways to spend leisure time are provided by a wide selection of parks and adventure pools, leisure centres, wildlife reserves and zoos, museums, working mills and mines, as well as monuments and memorials.
