The strangest places in Germany

Pia Volk

A touristic Guide for Locals

Are there any places in Germany left to be amazed and wondered about? The geographer and journalist Pia Volk has looked around between the Wadden Sea and the Allgäu, between the banks of the Main River in Frankfurt and the Sorb region, and has come across all sorts of strange and odd places: an oak tree with its own address; a washed-out Atlantis in the North Sea and a chandelier in the Cologne sewers.

She has walked along a path that leads across the site of a nuclear power station and has crossed a military training area on her way to imposing tombs. She has jumped over a rocky landscape full of cavities, where all water disappears, and has learned how a church tower can be used to draw conclusions about probably the most gigantic event in German earth history. She listened to Sorbian fairytales, Saterfriesian proverbs and sounds that last for years. She nerrates about bizarre landscapes, eccentric worlds and obscure objects. She leads to geographical and historical curiosities and teaches us to see Germany with new eyes.
