Learn all about Germany’s barefoot parks and maybe add one into your Germany itinerary for your next visit!  **This post contains affiliate links. If you click…

Hildesheim, Germany, located in Lower Saxony is probably not on most peoples radar when they travel to Germany. In fact, I’ve never heard of Hildesheim until I looked up a route from Würzburg to the North Sea and wanted to see if there were any UNESCO sites. Sure enough, Hildesheim showed up because two churches, St. Mary’s Cathedral and St. Michael’s Church are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. If, like me, and you are trying to visit UNESCO sites in Germany, then spending a day in Hildesheim is well worth the effort. This post covers information on Hildesheim’s UNESCO sites and a few more sites to see in the city.  **This…

Wiesbaden, Germany is very dear to me. Not because I love the Marktplatz and Marktkirche or the many parks and restaurants. But I was born here and have fond memories of this beautiful city. With obvious reasons, I don’t remember much of Wiesbaden in my younger years but I’ve traveled to Wiesbaden many times growing up and in recent years. Wiesbaden is very accessible to travelers given how close it is to Frankfurt. Wiesbaden has everything visitors can expect of when it comes to a German city. Beautiful churches, large open green spaces, international restaurants, shopping, a train station, and access to other spectacular destinations around this region of Germany.…

Oldenburg is a German city located in the state of Lower Saxony. Less then an hours drive from Bremen, Oldenburg is about half way between Bremen and the Dutch border.

Today, visitors can walk the historical old town center, view the church, stroll through the castle gardens, visit museums, and eat traditional German cuisine. We spent a day in Oldenburg and want to share our Oldenburg itinerary.  **This post contains affiliate links. If you click on one of the links throughout the page,…

Moin! There are no Alps, medieval castles, or gigantic gothic churches here. In fact, The North Sea region of Germany feels more Dutch then German. The landscape is flat, fairly wooded, but agriculture and wind turbines dominate the landscape in this area of Germany 🇩🇪 . Visiting coastal areas and port towns in the North Sea region actually feel more Nordic then German. But it’s these differences that make the North Sea region of Germany so unique and beautiful. The country side is beautiful, the small villages hugging the coast are what you imagine a European fishing village to be like, and the architecture of the buildings and structures is unique to…

Jever is the capital of Friesland in Lower Saxony and is not well known outside of Germany. In fact, most Germans only know Jever because of the Jever Pilsener that is produced here and sold throughout the country. Don’t worry, if visiting Jever, there is much more to do and see here then just drink beer. Jever has a lot of great restaurant options, a castle, unique church, and cute downtown area. But, if you are visiting Jever, might as well enjoy a Jever Pilsener. **This post contains affiliate links.
