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!

Murnau am Staffelsee
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.

In general, I’ve found Düsseldorf to be a very safe city. I wouldn’t walk alone on Bolkerstraße at night because there are a lot of drunk people there, and there are often homeless people near the main train station, though they’re rarely dangerous.

Detmold is a small town with not much going on. It's pretty calm and quiet in generel. There are some strange people around the city, that you don't want to meet at night, but nothing dangerous though as far as I know.

It is generally safe but few times people might be a little biased towards other races! I generally do not react much to any such looks or comments but i was once told in an angry time to speak German while i was talking to a friend in my mother tongue! It was weird!
