The Germans are master engineers, talented artists, eccentric politicians and ingenious architects. Their cities are almost surreal, and German-made equipment is perfect to a fault. Perhaps this is why most people do not associate Germany with a lot of adventure. Apart from Berlin where people can get careless with alcohol, the rest of Germany is a carefully structured society.

That is the world's general view of Germany. Here is the real view of Germany: the country is one of the most beautiful places in the world and has some of the most appreciated adventure destinations. Check out the list below and you will start to realize why your next adventure trip should be in Germany.

1. The Berchtesgaden Alps

This is a hiker's paradise. Located in the Bavarian Alps, along the German-Austrian Border, the Berchtesgaden Alps offers its visitors the scenic glacial trails where they can walk until their knees are weak.

Make sure you upload this photos on your Facebook Timeline - your buddies will look at your differently. You will be their new definition of urbane, suave and cosmopolitan.

2. Waldseilgarten Hollschlucht

Located in the mountainous region of Allgau at a village called Pfronten is one of the most adventure themed resorts in the world - the Waldseilgarten Hollschlucht.
