Discover Germany from home

The German divide is still illuminated at night

Berlin has come to be an increasingly united city since the fall of the wall in 1989. Tourists can cross the former border without giving it a second thought and cyclists casually cruise along the Berlin Wall Trail. And yet if you look down at Berlin from space on a clear night, you‘ll see that it is still divided in one sense. Satellite images reveal that the west of the city glows in bluewhite light, whilst the east has a warmer yellow shine to it.

The primeval forest reborn

About a third of Germany is covered with forests, which is a high proportion given that it is such a densely populated industrialised country. Would you really expect to find a primeval forest here? Probably not! And yet there is one in the Bavarian Forest National Park. A large area of forest just a two-hour drive to the northeast of Munich has been left to grow naturally without any human interference for decades. Similarly, Sababurg Primeval Forest, a part of the Reinhardswald Nature Park in Hesse right at the heart of Germany, hasn‘t been interfered with for more than 100 years now.
