Good news for you! To have an eventful road trip in Germany you no longer need to study Google Maps and rack your brains over the best itinerary. Because I've already done that for you.
In this post I have put together itineraries of different duration across all regions of Germany for you. With the help of the info boxes "Route Profile", "Highlights" and "Culture and Events" you can quickly get an overview of the individual itineraries. I am sure that there is a suitable road trip for you.
Hardly any European country is better suited for a road trip than Germany. From Wadden Sea: in the far north to the Alps, Germany is characterized by an excellent network of well maintained roads. Everywhere you will find accommodation and restaurants of all categories.
Did you know that Germany has no less than 52 UNESCO World Heritage Sites You most likely have heard about the Museum Island in Berlin, Cologne Cathedral and Hamburg Speicherstadt. But do you also know the Bremen market square with the statue of Roland, the Classical Weimar or the Bauhaus in Dessau? Whether for a weekend trip or the your annual leave - on my routes you will discover the scenic diversity of Germany just as the traces of 2,000 years of German history.
Tours for 3 to 4 Weeks
Best of Deutschland
(with Map) - the Most Beautiful Highlights in 4 Weeks
You won't be able to experience all the country's sights on this route. Germany is just too big for that. But I promise you that this tour will give you an overview of Germany's scenic diversity and incredible cultural richness. You may also realize that "the Germans" cannot be lumped together. The difference between a person from Bremen and a person from Munich is about as big as the difference between a Swede and a Greek - in terms of mentality, temperament and language or dialect. You will be surprised!
If you come from abroad, then the best start and end point for this round trip is an international airport, such as Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt or Munich, where you will be able to take over your rental car. You bring your own car from a place within Germany or from a neighboring country? Then simply start at the point on the route that is closest to your hometown.
The more time you can take for this tour, the better! In my opinion, 4 weeks is the minimum for this itinerary.
Or would you prefer a short trip?
To help you decide, you can find an overview of the most beautiful cities and most important sights in Germany in my article Destination Germany - The Ultimate List of the 100+ Most Beautiful Places.

Road Trip East Germany - Cultural Route from Eisenach to Berlin (with Map)
As a friend of German art and culture, you are guaranteed to go into raptures on this tour! The first highlight is Wartburg Castle near Eisenach, according to Goethe "the most German of all castles". Here Martin Luther translated the New Testament from ancient Greek into German language in the winter of 1521/1522 in a sensational 11 weeks .. Eisenach is also the perfect location for exploring the Thuringian Forest - one of the most beautiful vacation regions in Germany - including the Hainich National Parkwhich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe heard.
The route leads you further to Weimar, , the city of German classicism, which is inseparable from Goethe and Schiller. At the beginning of the 20th century, Weimar was the cradle of the Bauhaus.. From Weimar it is only a short drive to both Thuringia's beautiful capital Erfurt and to the light city of Jena. On the way from Weimar to Leipzig you can visit Naumburg Cathedral which - like the Bauhaus sites and 16 objects from the heyday of classical Weimar - is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We continue to the historical Leipzig, the most populous city in Saxony. Johann Sebastian Bach directed the St. Thomas Boys Choir from 1723 until his death in 1750. The second important church in the city, St. Nicholas Church, is known as the starting point of the peaceful revolution, which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and finally to the German reunification in 1990.
In Dessau completely different examples of great architecture are waiting for you. At Bauhaus Museum, Bauhaus Dessau and in the Master Houses you can follow the footsteps of Gropius, Kandinsky, Klee & Co. Do not miss visiting the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz, which was laid out in the 18th century as the first English landscape garden on the European mainland. Both Wörlitz Park and Bauhaus and Master Houses are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
On the way from Dessau to Berlin, you can easily make a detour to Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Here Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses against the sale of indulgences to the Castle Church on October 31, 1517. Luther is buried in the Castle Church of Wittenberg.
Finish your tour in our capital Berlin - Germany's most exciting city - and plan enough time for it (at least three days). Because of the history, there is an infinite amount to see and discover here -. Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, Potsdamer Platz, the UNESCO World Heritage Museum Island and the old center of West Berlin around Kurfürstendamm are just some of the highlights.

Friends of mine went on a trip to Germany and took a souvenir from each place. At the time, I was already thinking what a great idea that was. Apart from my home town, I'd only been to the big cities and skiing. I never even visited the Baltic Sea. Your article has really put me in the mood to travel. Let's see, maybe I'll grab my husband and dog soon and we'll drive through Germany in a camper van.
Dear Hannah,
I'm delighted that I was able to inspire you. You will definitely have a lot of fun on a road trip through Germany. There are so many interesting regions with varied landscapes and great cities. The better I get to know Germany, the more fascinating I find our country. I've never traveled in a motorhome myself, but with a dog it's certainly the ideal way to travel (my daughter does the same 😃).
Warm regards,
Angelika
Your choice of subject for the photos makes you want more - the tips encourage very much to travel along with the background information you provide. For all those who have never been eager to travel, like me, an aha experience. Thank you Angelika.
Dear Silvana, thank you for your lovely comment. I'm glad that you feel inspired. And I know that you have already discovered some beautiful corners of the world and enjoyed it😉. By the way, at the end of May I'm going to Weimar again on the trail of our mutual friend Goethe, and right after that on that of Thomas Mann and Günter Grass in Lübeck😃. Best regards, Angelika
Dear Angelika, very interesting tours through Germany, also beautiful pictures.
Hello Johannes,
I am very happy that you like my route suggestions and the photos. There will be more routes and posts about destinations in Germany here soon!
Cheers, Angelika
