Great Escapes Germany. The Hotel Book wer. angielsko-francusko-niemiecka

Baltic Sea to Black Forest

Discover the country’s most beautiful places to stay

Germany is  a land of astounding variety  – from cities founded by the Romans and medieval trade routes to breathtaking coastlines, rivers, and mountains that inspired great 18th- and 19th-century artists. It’s a place to encounter towns, castles, and palaces with gripping histories, and the  Moselle Valley, Black Forest, and the Allgäu region  – all rightly world-famous for their beauty.

Angelika Taschen has traversed the country, staying at its most unforgettable destinations. Like the elegant  Reederin, former HQ of a shipping line in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, or the  Grand Hotel Heiligendamm, named for Germany’s first seaside resort, and the idyllically-sited  St. Oberholz Retreat  in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The  Bauhaus Dessau Atelierhaus  once housed students of the Bauhaus school and the charming  Hotel Stadthaus Arnstadt in  Thuringia is an essential stop for Bach enthusiasts.

Admire the architecture of Max Dudler in the  Gut Cantzheim  on the River Saar, while enjoying its art collection and the estate’s delightful Riesling, explore the Black Forest from the family-run  Spielweg  hotel, or experience Konstanz from the bed-and-breakfast  Zum Egle 1336, in a 700-year-old building.

In Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the  Romantik Hotel Markusturm  stands next to one of the Old Town’s 46 towers, visitors to Ulm can literally lean towards the river at the  Schiefes Haus  – the Crooked House – or experience total tranquillity in the stylish  Beuerberg Abbey  in Bavaria.

Whether it’s a luxury hotel, a guest house, a palace, or glamping tent, every destination in this tenth volume of the  Great Escapes  series teams  large-format photos with fascinating texts and practical details, plus book recommendations  to pack for your trip.
