The Climate in Nothern Germany
Northern Germany is perfect for hiking all year round. In summer, the fresh breeze from the sea provides a pleasant coolness, allowing you to stay outdoors for a long time. Spring and autumn are often mild and invite for relaxed walks along the coast. Even in winter, the landscape has its own charm — when everything appears calm and clear, it feels almost like you're alone in nature.
The Culture in Northern Germany
Here, you can experience authentic Hanseatic history, from historic ports to Brick Gothic architecture in Lübeck, Hamburg, or Bremen. Small villages with cobblestone streets and cozy fish markets tell stories of a maritime past that remains alive today. You can feel the strong connection to the sea and the down-to-earth nature of the people who call this region home.
The Cuisine Northern Germany
Food in Northern Germany is honest and fresh. Fish such as herring or crab is a staple, along with hearty stews, potatoes, and good black bread. A slice of Frisian cake with coffee or a plate of Labskaus perfectly rounds out the meal — and a cold beer or regional apple juice pairs wonderfully with it.
