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...

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!

Leipzig
Leipzig is generally a safe city, and I’ve always felt comfortable living there. Like in any larger city, I stay aware of my surroundings, especially at night, but I usually feel safe walking around and using public transport. As a woman, I think it’s important to be cautious wherever you are, but overall I’ve had very positive experiences in Leipzig.

Compared to other german cities Aachen is quite safe. All cities have a party, red light, entertainment area that you should only go to when you know what you are doing. There are people who are drunk and on dope. And they sometimes do things that are not well thought off. If you respect that you are fine. I do recommend not go out at night so much, especially as a woman, but that goes for every city I fear.

Frankfurt is actually quite safe, but you encounter people everywhere – and at the main station it is especially extreme, both directly at the station and in the immediate surroundings. You really have to be careful there.

I lived there my whole life and it always feels very safe. All my travel buddies told the same. In the last years more and more immigrants were welcome there and unfortunately the crime rate rised. Still it is very safe and people are nice.
