Culinary Germany - that is an inexhaustible menu with constantly new ideas to delight your palate. Just as dialects and temperaments change from the Rhine to the Oder, the fine art of dining changes as well. There are many culinary landscapes between Rügen in the Baltic Sea and the Berchtesgadener Land at the foot of the Alps, with countless heights to please the gourmet.
The roads to culinary delights in Germany are all well paved. An efficient network of motorways, federal highways and secondary roads connects the republic to even the most remote spot. The Deutsche Bahn (German Railway) links the capitals of the Federal States with frequently running inter-city trains. But they serve the medium-sized and small towns as well, and are usually punctual to the minute.
We wish you a pleasant trip - and enjoy your meals!
Fresh from Germany's Countryside to Your Table
Out of over 1200 breweries, from the North Sea to the Alps, flow 5000 different kinds of beer on tap. A meal is also as versatile as the beer in Germany. Whether fresh fish from the traditional Hamburg fish market, or potatoes, the apples of the earth - which have been served either as salt potatoes, stewed potatoes or as potato-cakes since the 18th century - nothing more could be missing from a menu. However, what would Detuschland be without sausage - with plenty of mustard - prepared plain-boiled, boiled with spices, raw or as bratwurst?
For breakfast or at snack time, one of 300 healthy kinds of bread and fine pastries, made famous by German bakers, await you. You can also drink natural mineral water again and again. It bubbles here from 550 sources. The true connoisseur praises the German wine, some dry and some sweeter, but always smooth and filigree like nowhere else in the world. Undoubtedly, before a drop of wine moistens the tongue, the eye already delights in the pleasures of the festive table.
And a schnaps cannot be missing from a meal. You will see...German meals and drinks hold the body and soul together.
