Black Forest, Group travel
With a fellow travel lady, I went backpacking through the Black Forest. We walked a total of 160kms from Forbach to the Feldberg. We spent the nights either in trekking camps, in campsites or on farms. The landscapes were beautiful, we came across many lakes such as Herrenwiesensee, Titisee and Mathisleweiher (my favourite!). Overall, we felt very safe and met lots of lovely, mostly elderly people encouraging us to finish this eight day hike. If you like spending time outdoors, I highly...

Berlin, Solo travel
Perfect for people seeing something intense and special experience. Most attractive city in Germany absolutely but as a solo traveler, It would be better to take care yourself on nighttime especially.

I went to Bonn to visit a friend of mine and it was an amazing experience. The river was so nearby and with the train Cologne was only an hour. I also liked Koblenz and I recommend to everyone. Just go and explore

Berlin was fun. We didn’t get in to Berghain (lol) but we did our own tour of the city and the vibes were great. Public transportation is very easy and convenient. Very diverse food options. Great rave venues - I would love to go back and let loose again!

Hamburg
Hamburg is overall safe with several exceptions (central station, some areas Like Harburg, Jenfeld, St. Pauli, Reeperbahn). I’ve been living in Hamburg for 4 years, I’ve not been robbed or anything yet (thankfully). But there can be catcalling, a lot of homeless people asking for money and stuff.

Mannheim is like okay context of safety. The crime rates are kinda high but there are some places like innenstadt and jungbusch where its not too safe for alone girls at night especially at weekends. You'll find a lot of junkies in those areas . So just stay around the places where you can see some people a nearby.

In general pretty safe but there are some places where there is a lot of drug addiction. Would NOT recommend parks in the night alone and some underground station especially in winter get really creepy.

Murnau is a very safe place. You can go everywhere and you won’t get robbed or harmed. In the middle of the night you should just beware of drunken men like everywhere in Germany and maybe don’t go alone through the Kurpark and Staffelsee Area. But still, it’s very safe.
