Germany is a traveller's paradise with its romantic forests, picturesque hills, mountain landscapes and tranquilly embedded seas.

From hikes along tidal shores to trips through the low mountain regions all the way to mountain-top tours, everything is possible, a spokesman for the German Tourist Board said.

The proximity to nature, the countryside and the people allows the hiker to experience Germany intensively.

Numerous trails lead through the most beautiful natural landscapes which can be divided into several stages for hiking trips.

Along many of these routes are hotels and inns that provide specialised accommodations for hikers.

Many trip organisers offer comfortable "hiking without luggage" packages.

Youth groups can frequently choose from various camps, leisure activities, adventurous hiking trips and youth educational programmes.
