A stunning dairy store

"Milchladen," or simply a dairy store, is an authentic hut surrounded by pastures in the Bavarian Alps. Here, you can not only buy organic and fresh milk but also enjoy the views that attract with their majesty and spaciousness.

A thousand-year-old rose bush

This marvel is located in the medieval town of Hildesheim. This natural and ancient wonder has managed to survive centuries of wars and upheavals, and every year, it blooms brightly. It is located in the tranquil atmosphere of St. Mary's Cathedral.

This is an extensive network of caves deep in the Thuringian Forest. Visitors who see this miracle with their own eyes can get a surreal, almost otherworldly impression of what they see.

Frankenstein's Castle

It is believed that Mary Shelley was inspired by this castle when writing her iconic novel. This castle towers over the picturesque Bergstrasse district, exuding a mysterious, mystical, and gloomy aura.
