Germany is a diverse country when it comes to nature, city life and people. You can easily meet people from all over the world living in Germany, and sometimes it‘s even hard to believe that you‘re still in the same city when going from one place to another.
It has so many big cities with beautiful buildings, culture and history to offer and yet you can also see extremely beautiful landscapes with waterfalls, light blue lakes and mountains.
Today, I’m going to show you 13 fairytale villages in Germany that spread out their vibes with winding cobblestone alleys, medieval townhouses and countless photo spots.
Those of you who have Germany on their bucket list probably dream about enchanting castles and palaces, alpine views in Bavaria, attending the Oktoberfest and drinking beer or the industrial culture. But there is so much more that Germany has to offer.
…Germany is a country that is simply mind-blowing. With fairytale villages next to beautiful and enchanting nature and big vibrant cities next to ancient historic buildings, it’s a near-perfect place.
Please keep in mind that Germany is very diverse. While one celebrates the Oktoberfest in the south and nature can trump with grandiose mountain lakes and waterfalls, in the north you have beaches and sea. In the middle of Germany you can see authentic cities and beautiful hiking trails next to fairytale castles.
…You’ve probably already seen Monschau’s beautiful half-timbered houses in your Instagram feed. Monschau is a popular travel destination, especially at Christmas.

…The tulip fields in the Netherlands are known worldwide. Every year, several thousand people make a pilgrimage there to admire the beautiful flowers. Sad that I can forget my visit to Lisse, Netherlands this year, I discovered a huge, beautiful flower field while going for a walk. Not far from Cologne and Düsseldorf, this is a real alternative!
…The Eltz Castle Hike: Embedded in wild and romantic nature, Burg Eltz sticks out from the green of the Eltz Valley. The famous castle corresponds to the ideas of a fairytale castle and has developed into an absolute Instagram hotspot in recent years.

If the city receives little attention otherwise, thousands of people from all over the world usually come to the cherry blossom season!

The cherry blossom still remains a magical natural spectacle, which is why I decided to simply bring this straight into your living room!
