	Germany, Europe's richest and most populous country, offers the visitor a wide variety of attractions and sites - from the stark North Sea coastline to the Bavarian Alps, the chocolate-box Gothic castles of Bavaria to its endless picturesque towns. There are over 70,000 miles of marked hiking trails through Germany's stunning countryside including the Harz Mountains and the Black Forest, and treks through all twelve of Germany's national parks. The Rhine and Elbe are Germany's main rivers - the Rhine has long been considered a 'national symbol', providing essential shipping routes through Germany and the visitor with absolutely stunning scenery. Germany is often considered a pleasure to travel in, with fast efficient and relatively inexpensive public transport, an excellent hostel and hotel network and the lure of festivals such as the Berlin Love Parade and the much celebrated Oktoberfest.
