Michelin Green Guide Germany

From the Michelin Green Guides series.

Germany has many different faces. From the beaches of the North Sea and the Baltic to the high, craggy Alps, or the softer contours of the Swabian Jura; from the Black Forest to the rugged Eifel plateau and the high Harz Mountains; from the valleys formed by the famous Blue Danube or the powerful, mythic Rhine: this is a country of contrasts, holding many surprises in store for visitors who come for the first time or who return again and again. Each period of history has left its mark: impressive Romanesque churches embellish the Rhine River Valley; east of the Elbe River, the Gothic style is marked by the use of red brick; in southern Germany, masters of Baroque created an architectural style unmatched in its lavish decorative fantasy; the famous Bauhaus school strongly influenced 20C design.

Germany is an exciting place, where the very old and the very new find common ground. In the lively cities, the national attachment to cultural heritage is immediately obvious in the preservation of old city centres, and the attentive integration of modern architecture. The preservation of nature is also a concern, and visitors reap the benefits of concerted efforts to protect and enrich green spaces. Berlin, a model of modern city planning, is perhaps the most fascinating city in Europe today - where east meets west, everything seems possible!
