Now you can visit these magical places and let your spirit wander in the ancient European wilderness. Here are some of the top destinations you need to get to.

Spreewald

Not far from Berlin, this ancient alder and pine forest spans 484 km² and has been a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1991. Its defining feature is a wonderful network of canals formed during the ice-age. You can explore these quaint wetlands by rowing boat.

The Black Forest

Located in South-West Germany, this majestic forest is renowned for its magical beauty. Peppered with stunning lakes, historical towns, and tumbling waterfalls, this forest is excellent for hiking enthusiasts and is the setting for classical fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel.

Zauberwald

Translated “The Magic Forest”, this woodland in the Bavarian alps lives up to its name. Its enchanting landscapes of bubbling brooks, awesome mountains, and towering pine trees have been bewitching visitors for years.

Spreewald 

Spreewald is a unique forest not far from Berlin of 484 km².  It is unique for its network of over 200 streams and canals that remain from the ice age.  You can explore these by punt or by rowing boat.  

Jasmund National Park 

Located on a small island in the Baltic sea called Rügen, an ancient beech forest over 2 million years old, dates back to the time of the last ice age. These primeval beech trees are some of the last beech forests in Europe.  

The Black Forest 

No list of Germany’s woodland would be complete without the Black Forest.  Famous the world over, you can embark on epic hikes through towering mountains and quaint villages, or adventure through the fairytale mystique of the forest’s valleys.  

Teutoburg

This magical forest features over 4000km of hiking paths and viewing platforms.  Home to beautifully carved sandstone rock formations and pine groves, this forest was a sacred location for the pagan Saxons and early German Christians.  Summer solstice festivals continue to be carried out here today.   

Gespensterwald

Perhaps one of Germany’s best kept secrets, the Gespensterwald (or, the Ghost forest) is to be found nestled within a region of rugged landscapes, windswept coastlines and fishing villages.  Known for its eerie atmosphere of bare trunks and gnarled branches, the area is not well-known among non-German tourists and so is not overcrowded in the summer months.
