LYRICAL LANDSCAPES
The Black Forest is fairy-tale Germany in a nutshell. This forested patchwork of hills and
valleys, where waterfalls and brooks run swift and clear, is one of the region's greatest es-
capes. Tiptoe off the beaten track to half-timbered villages and tucked-away farmhouses.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Big views, bracing air and well-marked trails lure you outdoors. Strap on boots for some
of Germany's best hiking or swish through snowy woodlands while cross-country skiing.
Lake Constance is perfect cycling terrain.
CULTURED CITIES
Stuttgart woos with outstanding galleries, concert halls and high-tech temples to the auto-
mobile, but there's more. Soak in the spas of Baden-Baden, hang out in Roman-rooted
Konstanz, and spy the world's tallest steeple in Ulm.
