City and nature

A gnarled tree, a shimmering sea, a mountain range bathed in the soft evening light. Or: a quiet road, a lively square, a stunning city skyline. Do you know places that are not just a backdrop, but claim centre stage? Whoever manages to capture that special magic has good chances of winning.

The cultural nation in the heart of Europe has a chequered history. For many decades, Germany has been regarded as a powerful engine behind the development of the European idea, especially following German reunification in 1990. The multiple world champion in exports is regarded throughout every continent as a producer of top end products and "Made in Germany" is a synonym for quality. The densely populated country between the Alps and the Baltic Sea is home to nearly 82 million people. Visitors to Germany are usually impressed by the contrast between tranquil landscapes, historic buildings and vibrant cities.
