Germany is famous for its history and culture, and it also has some of Europe's most wild and wonderful scenery. Here are four parks worth visiting.
The Bliesgau Biosphere This place is home to almost half of all German flower species. The grasslands run for miles, drawing in different butterflies. Thanks to its great climate, this is an area of sustainable development. In fact, this park is an example of farming done right and offers a wealth of agricultural know-how to anyone eager to learn.
Berchtesgaden nature park Berchtesgaden is one of Germany's oldest and most beautiful conservation areas. Paths go in and out of the forest, leading you along the banks of glassy lakes. The more adventurous visitors may choose paragliding(滑翔伞运动). Back on the ground, a network of more than 150 miles of walking paths goes through the forest.
Southern Black Forest nature park The highland areas, with views over Switzerland and France, are a good place for food- lovers. Activities in the park range from hiking and fishing to mountain biking, while the slower travelers will enjoy the paths to get away from everyday life.
Jasmund nature park It lies on the west coast of the offshore island of Rugen. This protected site is the smallest of Germany's national park. It is here that painter Caspar David Friedrich found himself inspired to create one of his masterpieces, Chalk Cliffs on Rigen, in 1818. Here long paths can take you all the way to the Rugen coastline, where white-sand beaches and blue waters wait for you.
