Germany can be very very beautiful in fall, especially in early October when temperatures can still be quite warm and rainy days aren’t as frequent 🍁🍂 People always ask us where to go in fall in Germany and that’s a hard question to answer because almost every region has beautiful forests that will change its leaves to a beautiful yellow-orange color in fall. However it’s always better when there’s some hills, mountains or water around, so the landscape becomes a real eye-catcher! 👀 Therefore, we picked the following places for you to visit: 1. Chiemgau Alps is an amazing place in the mountains with crystal clear glacier waters! 🏔️ 2. Burg Eltz is just one of our favorite castles nestled between beautiful hills which makes for great fall scenery 🏰 3. The Eifel is a totally underrated region in Germany that has tons of beautiful hikes through lush forests 🌳 4. The Moselle Valley turns golden in fall as the vineyards change their colors and it just looks absolutely stunning 🍷 5. Freiburg is the main city in the Black Forest and offers gorgeous hikes and viewpoints 😍 Which one would you pick?🍁 #visitgermany #falltrip #autumncolors #herbstliebe #discovergermany #herbstindeutschland #fallingermany

Never would have thought to find such a gorgeous waterfall in the middle of the Black Forest: the Burgbach Wasserfall 💦🥰 4.

Something is happening in the Eifel National Park that has not happened to this degree anywhere else in North Rhine-Westphalia: expansive forests and open landscapes are returning to the wilderness! The Eifel National Park, which was founded in 2004 and spans some 110 square kilometres, is still classed as a “National Park in development”. Conservation areas within this category have thirty years to allow at least three quarters of the area to return to nature – it is only then that they fulfil the international National Park criteria. And over half of the area is already operating in line with the National Park motto “Let nature be nature”; in other words, humans are leaving nature to live by its own rules. This allows thousands of endangered animal and plant species to propagate in the special and newly created habitats. Thus, rare animal species like black storks, Eurasian eagle owls and wild cats can find the safe havens vital to their survival in the Eifel National Park. Protecting the natural environment, including these habitats and their inhabitants is the main objective of the Eifel National Park. Experience the fascinating process of the newly developing wilderness at close quarters! Watch wild animals, roam the natural beech and mixed forests, and enjoy magical panoramic views of the impressive lakelands or the open grassland of the Dreiborn Plateau. Discover the region under your own steam or enjoy a guided tour by one of our expert rangers or forest guides. There is plenty to discover – whatever the season! Enjoy your experience!

Plan, plan and plan. I thought a few hours around this national park would give me a good look at the place but not even close. There is so much to do here! There are plenty of car parks, all of which I found were 'pay and display', each with their own features. The river has multiple beaches to visit, a boat tour to go on which even on a hot day mid-week had a 10 minute queue so nothing major. I will be back in Germany soon, mainly to visit this park and spend a couple of days walking the river, crossing the bridges, taking the boat and exploring some beaches. A definite must-go if you are in the area. Cannot recommend it enough.
