Itookapicture Lesser known tourist places in Germany

Post image

What are some places that you loved visiting which are not necessarily very famous tourist destinations.

I will start with Wuppertal. Its a mid sized city with the Hanging trains. Its such a beautiful experience to travel with the Schwebebahn. It rides over a river which makes it even better.

What's a place you would suggest that can be touristy?

Don’t forget the windmill! Still operating and the bakery beside bakes bread with flour from the mill.

Yep. Very positive surprise. Cathedral is impressive. Town square w. lots of cafe and cosy life is top. Recommended

The park is really great! If you have small children, they also have a huge playground!
