In the 10,700-hectare nature reserve \u2013 the only national park in <strong>North Rhine-Westphalia <\/strong>\u2013 within the Hohe Venn-Eifel region between Cologne and Aachen, the diversity of flora and fauna is impressive. If you feel like swapping everyday life for a nature experience, pack your rucksack and follow the wilderness trail. It leads 85 kilometers through wild beauty, from <strong>Monschau-H\u00f6fen <\/strong>in the south to the northern tip near <strong>H\u00fcrtgenwald-Zerkal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Every Step Is Worthwhile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikers can enjoy the scenic diversity with rushing streams, fragrant flower meadows, deep forests, and sweeping panoramic views at their feet. However, you should be confident that you can hike <strong>18 to 25 kilometers per day<\/strong>. If you don&#8217;t feel comfortable venturing out on your own along the signposted nature trails, you can join a guided forest tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the second of four sections of the Wilderness Trail, nature-loving hikers are confronted with a dark chapter in German history. Where the former <strong>so called \u201cNazi Ordensburg\u201d Vogelsang <\/strong>once stood as one of the largest buildings of National Socialism and an expression of arrogance and contempt for humanity, today you can come to terms with the darkest chapter of German history at the <a href=\"https:\/\/vogelsang-ip.de\/en\/startseite.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vogelsang IP Internationaler Platz<\/a> under the motto \u201cLearn history. Experience nature. Shaping the future.\u201d The former training center for Nazi cadres has been transformed into an international meeting place for all cultures and religions. It&#8217;s worth taking a moment to pause here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">East | Saxon Switzerland National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the landscape with its bizarre rock formations looks like the most famous painting \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/online-sammlung.hamburger-kunsthalle.de\/en\/objekt\/HK-5161\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wanderer above the Sea of Fog<\/a>\u201d by the painter Caspar David Friedrich, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-saechsische-schweiz.de\/en\/welcome-to-the-national-park-saxon-switzerland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saxon Switzerland National Park<\/a> reveals itself in all its natural beauty. To the left and right of the Elbe, southeast of Dresden, lies the rugged, chalky erosion landscape of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

Germany&#8217;s only rock national park, <strong>Saxon Switzerland <\/strong>is a particularly popular destination for free climbers, as this is where free climbing originated. With 1,134 free-standing sandstone rocks in a stunning natural setting, the possibilities are endless. But don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re not feeling particularly ambitious. The Saxon Switzerland National Park is also famous for its breathtaking hiking trails. And if you&#8217;re lucky, you might even spot rare animals such as lynxes, adders, or grass snakes. Art lovers should follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saechsische-schweiz.de\/en\/explore\/caspar-david-friedrich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caspar David Friedrich Trail<\/a>. At eleven stations along the way, you can immerse yourself more and more in the artist&#8217;s world of images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Center | Harz National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately in the center of Germany, in Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, lies Germany&#8217;s largest national forest park, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalpark-harz.de\/en\/start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harz National Park<\/a>. Beech and spruce forests stretch past streams and lakes, and there are nature trails, lynx feeding stations, and wildlife observation points. Numerous hiking trails lead up to the 1,141-meter-high Brocken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background\">A word of warning: bark beetles are wreaking havoc in the Harz Mountains. As a result, some sections of the forest are very bare and there is a lot of dead wood lying around. This may seem off-putting, but in keeping with nature, these sections of forest are left untouched, as dead wood is an important part of the forest cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"View of some rock faces in the Harz National Park\" class=\"wp-image-13908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-883x662.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1400x1050.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"View of some rock faces in the Harz National Park\" class=\"wp-image-13908\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-883x662.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1400x1050.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/national-park-germany-harz-boulder-forest-c-animaflora-picsStock-shutterstock.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Animaflora PicsStock \/ shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up The Mountain By Train<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But if your shoes are pinching or your muscles are aching, no problem.
