Our walking holidays in Germany tick-off the biggest cities of the history-rich Rhineland region to the smallest villages scattered across the spectacular landscapes of Lower Saxony. Expect steady hikes through ancient forests, scenic steam railway rides, and stays in fairytale-like towns crowned by dazzling Disney-esque castles.
Explore the green heart of Germany by both rail and trail to the Harz Mountains. Hop across the English Channel by Eurostar before travelling through the history-rich Rhineland region to the spectacular landscapes of Lower Saxony. You’ll spend time in captivating Cologne and explore no less than two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - medieval Goslar and royal Quedlinburg. To top it all you’ll stay in showstopping Wernigerode where you can marvel at its dazzling fairytale-like castle and catch a steam train to the top of the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz. Expect incredible walks led by our local HF Holidays Leader combined with a wealth of history, sightseeing, and culture.
The Black Forest’s fairytale landscape enchants with wooded hills, wildflower meadows, and medieval towns and cities that look lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. Be wowed by the brightly painted houses and cobblestone squares of eco-friendly Freiburg, and marvel at the mighty cascades of one of Germany’s biggest waterfalls, the Triberg. But it’s not just the sights you’ll see that are special, equally rewarding is how you get there. Soak up spectacular views as we hop between high peaks using the handy cable car network, glide across Titisee Lake by boat, and experience a ride on the seriously scenic Höllental railway.
