For the traveler wanting a combination of industrialism with the medieval spirit, Germany is just the right pick. The country was home to Einstein, Beethoven, Goethe, quaint quarters, museums, and the infamous Hitler. Its rich history is embedded in different structures that a visitor should not fail to visit. Some of these must-see places and structures are:

Neuschwantein Castle

Schloss Neuschwanstein rises in the Bavarian woods very much like a castle in the fairy tales. Its beauty takes on an out-of-this world appeal when visitors would expect Cinderella, Snow White or even Sleeping Beauty would still be found slumbering all these years.

Berchtesgaden National Park

For the nature lover, the Berchtesgaden National Park is the ideal place to visit. It has crystal clear lakes, lush forests, and rolling meadows complete with cows and chirping birds. The setting is perfect for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Couples will find the setting just right for a stroll, quiet walks or simply lie on the grass to marvel at the beauty of nature in an unadulterated fashion.

Berlin Wall

There is, of course, the reminder of the oppression and disunity of the country in the Berlin Wall. It is not attractive to look at but for posterity’s sake, take some pictures of the remnants of a wall that caused so much misery and division.

Burg Eltz

The Burg Eltz in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany is a true-blue medieval fortress that retained its original structure and look. It’s decidedly Gothic with spires rising out of the Elzbach valley and surrounded by woods. The most notable thing about the castle is that it holds flushable toilets that were already in use back in the 15th century.
