Thanks for the pics. I would love some more info on where the various "Alps" photos are taken. Hope some time in my life to drive the Deutsche Alpenstrasse.

Wow, awesome! Thanks a lot Vic :)

I'm just lovin my home country more n' more on everyday :cheers: And I think latest since the last world cup here in 2006 also the remainder of the nation had been stuck on this inspiring wave! We're coming back to an earlier glory of the Wirtschaftswunder and the people seem to gettin friendlier and more optimistic with every new year - but that's no reason to be just too euphoric of course ;)

u sure have a beautiful country, hope to visit one day

truly amazing thanks for sharing! However do you still find unexploded bombs from WWII in these rural areas because we still do in Scotland!

truly amazing thanks for sharing! However do you still find unexploded bombs from WWII in these rural areas because we still do in Scotland!

yeah, we constantly do !

where do bombs in scotland come from?! Germans went up there so far to bomb scotland?!?! Or did they come from Norway?!

very nice pics! thanks for sharing...
it's funny how many people think that everything which is really beautiful is somewhere else but not where they live ;-)

yeah, we constantly do !

where do bombs in scotland come from?! Germans went up there so far to bomb scotland?!?! Or did they come from Norway?!

actully Scotlands naval bases was a prime target for German bombers during WWII, Firth of Forth , East Lothian and the shipyards and heavy engineering factories in Glasgow and Clydeside played a key part in the war effort hence were a key target even a defence wall was built fearing a German invasion from Norway

also after bombing runs from Shetland islands Germans dropped spare excess bombs on East Coast routenly and every so often we find unexploded bombs! :)

Awesome scenery!!!!!

I think I saw this place before in the world rally championship. (WRC)

I try to locate photos where it is possible.

Wine!!!

Oh, so beautiful.

Lovely...!:)

Wooww.... WOW! Is this Saxony?

wow, until now i didn't know that such an impressive wine-hill exists in germany :eek:

In Rheingau and Rheinhessen you can see several such vineyards,...

i guess next time when i'll ride to trier, i should take the way through the valley of the mosel river as its riversides are seamed with lovely vineyards :)

True!!!! Around the Moselle you find awesome landscapes!!!

Pretty awesome shots! I'm proud to have lots of German heritage!

Beautiful stuff, I've got a new wallpaper :)

i underestimated the nature of Germany. It might even be better looking than Canada's !

^ Well, that's just a matter of taste. But Canada probably has far more untouched nature than Germany ;)

In Rheingau and Rheinhessen you can see several such vineyards,...

thx for the info. i'll try to find some other pics for me

Oh my goodness, those shots are absolutely WONDERFUL. I have to visit Germany someday. Thanks for sharing!

Nice pics... but do these pictures also tell something about the vivid Neo-Nazi scences in Germany? About the dozens of Indians that nearly lost their lives in East Germany while no German (onlookers) saved these people from being literally slaughtered? About the steadily growing job insecurity in all parts of Germany, something which is holding back consumers tp spend their money freely? About the racist attacks that foreigners encounter on a daily basis in the streets and every day life? About the growing rate of unemployment and frustration among its citizens? About the rising living costs and stagnant or even falling wages? About the frequent strikes? About the daily struggle of the average middle-class German to make both ends meet? About the mothers that dump their babies out of the window because they are so damn frustrated? About the growing numbers of Germans that are looking for greener pastures elsewhere because they are so fed up with "immaculate" Germany for a variety of reasons that I don´t want to enlarge on in the context of this thread?

There is more to German than Siemens, Porsche, Autobahns and well-kept cities... the reality on the ground in Germany is far from being a fairy tale country!

^^ WTF?? We Germans have a really good life. Of course every country has its problems, but don't dramatize our problems so much. Go to a third-world-country if you wanna see REAL problems. And now back to the topic please...

VicFontaine, with Bodensee Lake you mean Lake Constance, right?


Actually it's more accurate to call it Bodensee. adding "lake" is redundant.

Awesome

Nice, northern Germany is highly underrated.

Here are some shots I took last December on a visit to Zugspitze, in Southern Germany -

Wow. Is that germany? They should have considered to make the Lord of Rings here instead of New Zealand. I studied in Constance as exchange student, that area is very very beaitiful. Thanx for posting some pics from there too.

Very nice pics :okay:

What a beautiful landscape. I love my country :)

Amazing pics! :drool:

Today, the whole area of the german federal state of Hessen is covered with 38% wood. During Roman times it was surley more. The Romains complained that Germania doesn't offer much more than large woods. The clima was rough and cold during winther and it came close to a punishment to be stationed in germania. Maybe that was one reason why Auxiliaries from modern Hungary were stationed in Saalburg castell.

I like that. Giving nature some space back. But still way to much agriculture land in Germany. Thy should let forest grow there. Much nicer and cools the surrounding in summer.

I liked the thread, many places very nice. Amazing indeed. Regards.
