Gay & Lesbian Travellers
Homosexuality is legal in Bavaria and the Black Forest, but the scene, even in Munich, is
tiny compared to, say, Berlin or Cologne. Nuremberg, Regensburg and Freiburg are a little
more relaxed as well, but in rural areas gays and lesbians tend to keep a low profile. There
are websites aplenty but most are in German only. Try

or, for women,
