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.

There is hardly any country which is better suited for discoveries on your own than Germany. From the 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 51 UNESCO World Heritage sites? You most likely have heard about the Museum Island in Berlin, the Cologne Cathedral and the Hamburg Speicherstadt. But do you also know the Bremen market square with the statue of Roland, Classical Weimar or the Bauhaus in Dessau? Whether for a weekend trip or 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.

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.

This road trip full of highlights takes you from Würzburg across several UNESCO-Welterbe-Stätten bis zu den Bayerischen Alpen. You will be amazed by the variety of charming old towns, historical monuments and charming landscapes you will experience on this tour.

In Würzburg, Nürnberg and Regensburg, you will dive deeply into German history. Rothenburg ob der Tauber will enchant you with its medieval charme. Experience a Three Rivers Cruise in Passau at the confluence of Donau, Inn und Ilz, and take a trip to the Baumwipfel-Pfad Bayerischer Wald. Follow the tracks of Fairytale King Ludwig II. and explore his most beautiful castles on the Chiemsee and around Füssen. Finish your tour in one of the most interesting German cities, the Bavarian state capital Munich. From there, you can easily get back home by plain, train or car.

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 ..

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 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.
