The Most Beautiful Locations to Visit in Germany This Fall
Colorful foliage, golden days shrouded in autumn mist and cool crisp air make Germany a great destination to visit in fall. Though most parts of the country see the landscape change in a cornucopia of fall colors, certain regions truly transform into fairytale lands. Here’s our pick of the best.
1. Black Forest
Natural Feature, Forest
Germany’s Black Forest, spread over approximately 9,713 square kilometres (3,750 square miles), is a unique mix of conifers and autumnal trees. The result is a sea of dense green speckled with fiery russet, gold and sunshine-yellow. Schwarzwaldhochstraße and Uhrenstraße (comprising the ‘The Cuckoo Clock Route’) reward drivers and hikers with lovely assortments of fall colors. Reflections of colorful fall foliage in the mirror lakes of the Black Forest are so gorgeous that it’s not hard to understand why it was the inspiration for Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
