The natural surroundings
Flora
Due to Germany's geographical location, the vegetation greatly differs from that of its neighboring countries. Industrialization and deforestation have caused a decrease in the natural vegetation but it is still worth a visit. The holiday houses you choose will be located near areas that are covered by oak trees or in the middle of hornbeam forests. The central uplands of Germany are predominantly covered with Fagus sylvatica or trees with a dense leaf canopy that few plants can survive beneath it. They are also known as beech trees and they survive on weak soils. You will often come across these during your hike. What's more is that conifers such as Douglas, spruces and Japanese larch are increasing as a result of afforestation. Various species of ferns, beautiful and vibrant flowers, fungi and mosses can also be found here. Ever heard of Saarland? This is an area in the southwest of Germany famous for its mesmerizing landscapes. A third of this area is covered with deciduous forest. Together with Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate it has the largest percentage of forest in the country. Mixed forests can also be found in the highest elevations of the Alps. Some forests have been exposed to acid rain pollution, power plants and factory emissions; despite this, Germany has a stunning diversity of natural vistas where you can relax and enjoy its natural beauty.
Fauna
Say hello to a wide range of wildlife in Germany! If your cottage is located in the middle of fields, in the forests, or on top of a mountain, you will be able to see varieties of deer, quail and pheasant. Chamois and ibex are most likely to be found in the Alpine regions. Red deer, roe deer, wild boar, and wild cats can be spotted in the hilly regions. The polecat, beaver, and badger are found in the central and southern uplands. This is partly due to good hunting management. You may also spot an otter, badger, or fox during one of your hikes! The Black Forest is one of Germany's most famous regions, nevertheless, you will still be able to find many undiscovered spots. The tidal flats of Lower Saxony is a vital area for the European migration of ducks, geese, and waders. You may also come across some reptiles like salamanders, lizards, or snakes! Don't worry, only the adder snake is poisonous, so beware. Various migratory birds cross Germany in the spring and autumn seasons. Silently feeding hidden in the branches above your head... would you be able to spot them? Imagine booking a holiday house and having wildlife as your neighbors!
Let's explore the outdoors!
In the natural environment of Germany, there are plenty of activities that you could do apart from drinking beer! Are you an adventurous person? From hiking to skiing, you can do any activity you like during your vacation in Germany. If you are a cyclist then be prepared to take a wonderful route across the region of Konstanz.

Another beautiful place for a good hike is in the Bavarian Alps. Just like France, Germany also has a good chunk of the Alps. This provides plenty of outdoor activities for you all year round. Whether it’s skiing and snowboarding in winter, to cycling, hiking, or micro camping in summer, the Alps have it all! Hiking up here will take about seven to eight hours, but the views are worth it. Apart from these activities, you breathe the healthy air and visit various spas, festivals and learn about the rich German culture.

Nebelhorn is one of the most popular ski resorts in the Allgäu region of Germany. Here you have snow trails and expansive snow areas with well-maintained slopes. It also provides a 400-peak panoramic view of the place! If you want to try skiing somewhere else other than the Alps, then the Black Forest is the place to be.
