Hostelling Information

Country Overview

Bike along extensive cycling routes; sail over shimmering lakes; hike through forests and over green mountains; go clubbing in one of Europe's funkiest cities; visit beer gardens resounding with music. Germany is justifiably proud of its host of castles, its ancient churches, its wealth of art and architecture (it has 25 UNESCO World Heritage sites) and its picture-postcard villages. Since reunification in 1990, Berlin has rapidly become one of Europe's hippest cities, in contrast to such glorious medieval towns as Lubeck, Ulm and Munster. And the country also offers an enormous range of outdoor pleasures, from the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest to the Bavarian Alps and the Harz Mountains. There is no need to look far to find accommodation here: there is a vast network of over 600 hostels - many of them offering sightseeing tours and sports packages from windsurfing to skiing.
