Traveling alone does not necessarily mean being lonely, even in Germany. It grounds you. It helps you prioritize. It answers questions that get lost in everyday life. And in the end, many things become clearer. Here are four places in Germany where you can retreat—or simply meet nice new people. The choice is yours.
1. Alpine Views with a Yoga Mat
Hubertus Mountain Refugio Allgäu
Allgäu
In the Allgäu region, you can start the day with a sound journey and end it with a reading workshop – or spend the entire day in silence in the upcycled single-room oasis. Meditation, nature coaching, and mental reset days provide food for thought, while the community table is available for spontaneous conversations if desired. A retreat for anyone who wants to alternate between mindfulness and activity when traveling alone in Germany – barefoot on the lawn or floating away on a sound wave from a singing bowl.

2. Yoga Circle and Idyllic Vineyard
Jordan’s Untermühle
Rheinhessen
The name alone suggests a slower pace of life – and that’s exactly what you get here. Surrounded by vineyards and meadows, rooms with a feel-good factor are available, complemented by mini retreats with yoga, spa breaks, and walks. In the evening, guests can dine together, enjoy vegetarian Ayurvedic cuisine, and then find like-minded people in the bar. Or enjoy the culinary delights of Luisa Jordan in a quiet corner all to yourself.

3. Cook up a Storm or Simply Relax
Hofgut Hafnerleiten
Bad Birnbach
Barista workshop? Snack at the long table? Or would you prefer a good book in the wellness cube? Hofgut Hafnerleiten knows how to give solo guests space – while also creating opportunities for interaction. Mediterranean cuisine, design-loving retreats, and the Lower Bavarian horizon help you to reorder your thoughts. A real place of well-being when traveling alone in Germany.

4. Urban, Charming, Connecting
KOOS Hotel & Apartments
Münchenbach
In the heart of Munich, design meets hospitality with living room flair. The lobby is a meeting place, and the adjoining bar serves bowls and cocktails in a relaxed atmosphere. The apartments range from stylish mini rooms to compact home bases with washing machines. Long stay? Perfect! Those who want to can socialize. Those who don’t can simply stay in their cozy retreat with handwritten wall quotes and a great view.
