Don't look down - the 'Saxon Switzerland'
The steps began to obsess me. Our arrival in "Saxon Switzerland" – the region of Germany that lies between Dresden and the Czech border – had coincided with a heatwave. The adventurers who explored and mapped this territory, which is filled with curiously formed cliffs, table-shaped outcrops and solitary pillars, had done so in style, by constructing stone staircases, flights of wooden steps and metal rungs at every juncture. As we sweltered in temperatures of 39C, I counted them as a diversion from the heat.
Prussia by water - Boating in northern Germany
Often we could kid ourselves that we were completely alone, watching the reeds reflected in the water and the kingfishers and herons waiting to swoop.

When things were looking grey in the former East Germany, the ruling communist party elite could always jet off to Cuba to demonstrate a bit of socialist solidarity in the sun — but they also had a gem of their own, a glorious holiday island just three hours’ drive from Berlin.
Schleswig-Holstein: History on two seas
The sand is white and powder-fine, the sea before me glittering blue, the June sun high in the sky - and the beach is empty. It could be the tropical island of my dreams but for the large, roofed wickerwork beach chairs that have been set out tidily for my benefit....
Germany, but not as we know it
I’ve upgraded us to a BMW, as we’re in Munich,” my husband said. “It only cost an extra €5 a day, and I know how much these things matter to you.”
