Region of extraordinary contrasts...
If you're looking for fascinating culture, gorgeous landscape and
excellent cuisine look no further than Baden Wurttemburg. A region of extraordinary
contrasts, Baden Wurttemberg is located in Germany’s southwest. This region
is a major holiday destination with wine-growing regions in the
north and west and Lake Constance lying to the south. Beautiful
landscapes, interesting culture and customs, lively towns, a variety
of leisure and sports activities and excellent cuisine all make for
a memorable vacation in this part of Germany.
B aden-Wurttemberg’s diverse rural and
urban attractions include the stunningly beautiful Black Forest,
Lake Constance, Stuttgart, and the university towns of Heidelberg
and Tubingen. Renew your strength and energy by taking a health
treatment in one of Baden Wurttemberg’s many healing baths and spas.
Visit the ritzy spa town of Baden Baden and use it as a base for
hiking excursions to places such as the Geroldsauer waterfalls or
the Yburg castle ruin in the surrounding wine country. Famous as the
home of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, Stuttgart boasts some of
Germany’s loveliest parks and gardens and is surrounded by densely
wooded hills, orchards, vineyards and meadows. Spend some time at
some of Stuttgart’s splendid museums. Visit the Mercedes-Benz or
Porsche motor museums and the Staatsgalerie where you will find masterpieces
from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, as well as a wealth
of modern art, including the important Steegman Collection which
features works by Picasso, Giacometti and Paul
Klee. Use Stuttgart as a base for a number of wine-tasting trips in
and around the city.
No visit to Baden-Wurttemberg would be
complete without a trip to The Black Forest. Hike through the Wutach
Gorge, dubbed the Grand Canyon of the Black Forest, a gorgeous
ravine with sheer craggy rock faces overlooking a fertile habitat
with around 1,200 different types of flora, rare birds such as the
grey egret, and numerous species of butterflies, beetles and
lizards. Leave the beaten track and explore the gentle rolling hills
of the Schwabische Alb and the medieval town of Schwabische Hall.
Finish your trip to this magical region with a trip to the
university town of Heidelberg with its picturesque historical alleys
and fairy-tale castle overlooking the town. Enjoy the town's lively
atmosphere and its friendly bars and pubs.
