Germany has the largest population of any nation in Western Europe, and is the ancestral home of the single largest ethnic group in America. To do justice to this major nation, we have called upon the talents and research abilities of six long-experienced journalists, most of them living full time in Germany. The resulting book is up-to-date, printed in large, easy-to-read fonts and contains: - Dozens of spectacular photos - Full-color maps throughout including a helpful, pull-out map - Compelling and fun-to-read discussions of Germany's history, art history and current culture - Sample itineraries so you can make the most of your time in country - Savvy tips on how to avoid the crowds and save money, whether you're a luxury lover or a backpacker - Opinionated advice on historic sights, nature areas, museums and other attractions, with star ratings to help you quickly decide what to see and what to skip. The book also contains dozens of no-holds-barred reviews of hotels, restaurants, nightlife venues and shops, from authors who have visited them all, and so have the ability to compare.

Discover the timeless landscapes of Germany’s Black Forest on the Westweg (Westway), a classic long-distance trail weaving through dense pine forests, high moorland, peaceful valleys and panoramic ridgelines. From the spa town of Pforzheim on the forest’s northern fringe to the cultural crossroads of Basel in Switzerland, the route passes iconic highlights including the source of the Danube, tranquil Lake Titisee and Feldberg, the Black Forest’s highest summit, before descending through vineyard-clad hills towards the Rhine Valley.Suitable for reasonably fit walkers, the 285km (177 mile) Westweg can be completed in around two weeks and is presented in 13 day stages of 15–28km (9–17 miles). While generally well waymarked and following good forest paths, the trail includes steady climbs and around 8000m of cumulative ascent, rewarding walkers with sweeping views and a varied journey through one of central Europe’s most celebrated landscapes. A route split near Titisee offers a choice between the western variant over Feldberg, Belchen and Hochblauen, or the quieter eastern alternative via Herzogenhorn and the open farmland of the Dinkelberg, both described in full.
