All who love the parks can not miss the fantastic (and yet little publicized) Europa park, a city full of fun, with games for all ages.
The theme of the park are obviously different European countries (with a detour in Russia ..) and are reproduced in the areas inspired by each country, dotted with restaurants, shops, shows and attractions.
Needless to say that the inspiration for this project comes from the most famous Epcot Center in Orlando, and this influence is not even hidden by architects .. since, the famous golf ball, which stands at the entrance to Epcot huge is reproduced here in Germany, at the entrance of the most exciting roller coaster ever tried .. Silver Star!
The park is really big, like Disneyland, but with more attractions, really you never stop to get off a game to get on another one! Or walk quietly through so many mini-theme villages, deliciously constructed.
Another strong point: the beautiful gardens, characterized by the continuous presence of water .. fountains, streams, lakes, surrounding the rose garden or a bloom of tulips.

Outside the park is a whole other world!
Rust is a small farming village, where the streets are new BMW range is that .. tractors ..
where, if you enter a tavern, do not make the mistake of ordering a dish head! In fact, all
served directly in the pan in which it was cooked .. which contains about 3 servings. The premises of the place you eat well, abundant and cheap.
Ideal for not spending too much money in the hotels theme Europa park and rent, even for 1 night or 2 in a cottage in this very village, reaching the entrance to the park easily on foot.

Just 20 minutes by car, the university town of Freiburg am Breisgau, lively, colorful atmosphere and half between the German and Swiss. Characterized by the continuous presence of rivulets, running throughout the city center .. (I wonder if it is true that once were the sewers ..)
The old part is quite small, but undoubtedly very pretty. The evening is filled with people sitting in the outside tables of restaurants and brasseries.

There are many things that I love Germany, and, whenever I can not miss an opportunity to go there to visit something new.
I love the respect for the environment and the care of housing, I like the fact that a people who love company, very often in restaurants there is no privacy .. tables may also be of 10-15 people who may not even know each other, but that quickly get to know each other between courses! I make crazy cakes that are able to create very good and dramatic as sculptures, there is much care and love the way they are prepared, decorated and served, to buy a cake becomes almost a ritual, a time when, for a moment all that is out of the pastry vanishes.

To prove that this nation holds endless surprises in itself .. the discovery of the town of Offenburg.
No guide reports its tourist importance, nor proof, we stopped almost by accident and we found another small corner of Germany. Colorful houses, quiet streets, churches colored reddish e.. suddenly .. notice the enormous sculpture of a snake ready to bite an apple metal .. emerge from the brick main street.
What at first seemed like a particularly out of place, a curiosity, not only strengthens the idea that we already have .. Germany, on every corner there is always something new.
