FEEL GOOD in Germany
The path to sustainability is a voyage of discovery that we invite you to join - after all, with its blend of protected nature, innovative flair and cosmopolitanism, Germany as a travel destination has the ideal ingredients for exceptional and sustainable holiday experiences that also help to protect our climate and the environment.

Many destinations and providers in Destination Germany are committed to this goal and are developing an increasing number of resource-saving offers that are good for the environment as well as for hosts and their guests.
