Let’s go on a very unique road to Germany, guided by a curator who has lived in Germany for 12 years!
Germany is a more attractive ‘small town’ travel destination than any other country in Europe. A trip to small towns in Germany begins with Goethe’s city, Weimar. Goethe, who was born in Frankfurt, moved to Weimar at the age of 26 and stayed there for the rest of his life. At Goethes Wohnhaus, the studio where he wrote his masterpiece and his traces remain intact. The restaurant he loved to visit is still in operation. The most popular menu item at the restaurant is ‘Goethe’s favorite food.’ As the name suggests, you can taste the menu items that Goethe enjoyed. Goethe was a great gourmet and a great traveler.
He especially liked Italy and Switzerland, and it is said that he stopped by the Rheinfall every time he went to Switzerland. This magnificent waterfall originates in the Swiss Alps and flows into the North Sea, leading to the Rhine River, the lifeline of western Germany.
The next small town tour in Germany heads to Dresden. It is a city so beautiful that it is called the ‘Florence of Germany.’ The glory and pain of the city, including the Frauenkirche, which collapsed in a large-scale air raid during World War II and was rebuilt with the tears of citizens, murals made with 25,000 world-class Meissen porcelain tiles, and the Monarch’s Procession (Fürstenzug). Come face to face with these famous attractions.
Dresden can be explored on foot, but it becomes more meaningful if you explore it by car, nicknamed ‘Travi’. Dresden was the center of old East German culture, and the Trabant enjoyed explosive popularity as the national car of East Germany at the time. A vehicle whose production was discontinued after German unification due to its quality being significantly lower than that of West German vehicles, including the use of a plastic body instead of steel. Germans’ love for Trabi is so great that there is even a tour around the city in such a car, Trabi Safari. Find out why.
The final destination of the small-town trip that gave us an inside look at Germany was Bodensee, the largest lake in Germany. The journey ends by enjoying the Bregenzer Festspiele, a midsummer night’s dream-like performance held on the water.
