In winter, many people long for a quiet break – to hide somewhere in a lonely mountain hut, sit comfortably in front of the fireplace and once a day walk through the contemplative snow, get some distance from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Sometimes you don’t even need a lonely hut in the middle of the mountains – you can get peace and relaxation in many places in Germany, even in autumn and winter.
