I Lived In Germany For Over A Year And Captured Its Unique Landscapes And Nature, And Here Are The Best 32 Pics

ADVERTISEMENT

After spending the last 13 months living in the Bavarian town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, it's safe to say this place is a hiker's paradise. Germany is full of beautiful mountain lakes, wildflower meadows, and breathtaking peaks to climb.

When people ask why I want to make Germany a permanent home, these 23 photos right here sum up why. The alps. They're simply magical. Enjoy some of our backyard explorations.

Is this photoshop?

3points

Christine Madeux (Submission author) 3 years ago

Hi! It is not photoshop- it was achieved by taking a long exposure with my camera, allowing the sensor to pick up more light than what is available to the human eye. There isn't a lot of light pollution where I live, so you can visibly see the milky way in the mountains. Shooting a long exposure magnifies that.

Zugspitze from an awesome awesome hike. Amazing "Klamm" (gorge) below, beautiful valley in the middle and breathtaking via ferrata above. It's one of the mist popular bigger via ferrata rputs of the alps, for good reasons!

My son is being deployed to Germany (for 3 years) next year and I'm going with them. I'm German/Austrian but haven't been back since I was ~11, so it's been ~39 years since I've been home. I want to move back there, but I don't do well with cold weather (I live in Florida now), but I'm going to see how I hold up. If all goes well, I might not come back at all. 🤞

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

Would have been nice if the OP would've shared the (common) names of the locations they've visited (or maybe solely geo-tack them)... Thanks to all fellow BPs, who pointed out that this was a single region in Bavaria though (might have guessed, as there are rarely any mountains that hight in any other state of Germany).
