2024·Ski JumpingPius Paschke | NordicFocusOne day after a commanding victory in the Men’s Super Team event
Pius Paschke (GER) went solo to land on top of the podium again
The 34-year old secured his fourth individual win of the 2024/25 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup season in front of an enthusiastic home crowd in Titisee-Neustadt
Paschke showed he is the man to beat this season as he further extended his lead in the overall World Cup ranking
The German had qualified third behind Gregor Deschwanden (SUI) and Anze Lanisek (SLO) in qualifications
but soon improved himself as the day went by
Paschke travelled an impressive 144.0m in the first round for a total of 149.7 points to take an early 3.8- points lead over Deschwanden (SUI)
The current World Cup leader further extended that gap with a strong second jump (144.4) to score a total of 294.1 points
“I did not expect this (the win),” Paschke laughed
“I knew from yesterday that I was in good shape
I had a really good first jump and also had a really good second jump
Maybe it (the second jump) was a little bit aggressive
a second and a third place so far this World Cup campaign
Paschke found it difficult to find the right words
Everything is just clicking right now"
Daniel Tschofenig (AUT) came third behind Paschke and Deschwanden
Tschofenig secured his fourth podium-place finish of the season
The Austrian sat in fifth place after the first round (140.4)
but managed to move up two spots thanks to a strong second jump (141.3) to score a combined total of 281.7 points
he finished ahead of Andreas Wellinger (GER)
who won the Super Team event with Paschke on Friday
finished just outside the podium with a total of 280.0 points
Timi Zajc (SLO) followed in fifth with 277.4
2023/24 Crystal Globe winner Stefan Kraft (AUT) missed out on the top ten in Titisee-Neustadt and landed in 11th place (265.6)
With one more day of competition coming up in Titisee-Neustadt
Paschke has extended his lead in the overall World Cup ranking to a massive 136 points after seven events so far this season
Defending Crystal Globe winner Kraft is fourth (360)
The FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt (GER) continues on Sunday 15 December with qualifications and competition in the individual event

He was 2.4 points clear of team-mate <a href="https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/athletes/detail/daniel-andre-tande/">Daniel Andre Tande</a>, with Austria&#x27;s <a href="https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/athletes/detail/kraft-1/">Stefan Kraft</a> rounding out the podium.
</a>Germany&#x27;s <a href="https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/athletes/detail/eisenbichler/">Markus Eisenbichler</a> was fourth ahead of Marius Lindvik and <a href="https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/athletes/detail/dawid-kubacki/">Dawid Kubacki</a>
<a href="https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/athletes/detail/kobayashi/">Kobayashi Ryoyu</a> took seventh place with fellow Japanese Sato Yukiya eighth
<a href="https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/athletes/detail/kamil-stoch/">Kamil Stoch&#x27;s</a> hopes of a fourth consecutive World Cup win were dashed by a disappointing first-round effort of 123.5m which saw him only just make the top-30 cutoff
Granerud was the hot favourite for the Four Hills but had to settle for fourth behind a resurgent Stoch
The German was just below par with his second jump, allowing Kraft to move above him, but Tande produced an excellent leap of 138.0m to put the pressure on his compatriot.
And the 24-year-old from Oslo responded, matching Tande&#x27;s distance to secure his sixth win of the season.
He told FIS afterwards, &quot;I wanted to win, of course. I always want to win. It&#x27;s been five competitions without a win after five wins in a row so, yeah, it feels great to win again.
&quot;It was tough conditions. It&#x27;s always a bit strange when you jump in quite a lot of tailwind. You don&#x27;t get the same answers from the jump or the skis, so you have to be patient in the flying phase and just wait and wait and wait and then put the telemark down. It was a tough day but the hill and everything is so perfect so it was great fun.&quot;
Granerud has extended his overall World Cup lead over Eisenbichler to 264 points with Stoch a further 62 points back.
Next up is the large hill in Zakopane, Poland with the team event on Saturday (16 January) preceding Sunday&#x27;s individual competition.
2024·Ski JumpingPaschke and Wellinger | NordicFocusPius Paschke and Andreas Wellinger (GER) claimed victory in the first Men’s Super Team event of the 2024/25 FIS Ski Jumping World Cup season
The Germans led from start to finish to take the win in front of the home crowd in Titisee-Neustadt
Individual World Cup leader Paschke and teammate Wellinger won the Super Team event with a total of 873.3 points after three rounds to finish 23.3 points clear of second-place finishers Daniel Tschofenig and Jan Hoerl (AUT)
Kristoffer Eriksen Sundal and Halvor Egner Granerud (NOR) landed in third (829.2 points)
The Super Team event is a relatively new event where two athletes compete together
the top twelve teams qualify for the second round
while the top eight then make it to the third and final round
Wellinger kicked things off for the Germans and took an immediate lead after a strong first jump in the first round (143.6 points)
followed suit and added 149.9 points for a combined total of 293.5 points and an early 10.5-point lead over Austria after round one
The two Germans kept on delivering and further extended their lead to 16.6 points following two outstanding jumps (140.9 for Wellinger and 147.0 for Paschke) in the second round
Paschke and Wellinger finished it off by scoring 148.4 and 143.5 points in the third and final round to make it Germany’s day
“We had perfect weather today and we did really good jumps
Paschke was impressed with the way he and his teammate jumped to the win in Titisee-Neustadt
&quot;You can&#39;t expect something like that&quot;
&quot;You just try to do good jumps from the start
Andreas was much better than the last weeks from the first jump onwards
Then we had the confidence that we could do it.&quot; 
It’s Germany’s second team victory of the 2024/25 season after a win in the Mixed Team event at the season opener in Lillehammer (NOR) last month
Paschke already has three individual World Cup victories this season and was also part of the two German winning teams
The FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt (GER) continues on Saturday 14 December with qualifications and competition in the individual event
who performed the best jump on Friday (scoring 149.9 points after traveling an impressive 143.5m) is the top favorite
&quot;The main goal is to compete every day
with individual World Cup events on both Saturday (14 December) and Sunday (15 December)
Vladimir Zografski ranked 34th in the large hill race in Titisee-Neustadt of the Men's Ski Jumping World Cup
After six consecutive races in which he was in the points zone
a little more than six points were not enough for him to place among the top 30
The winner of the race was the leader in the general classification Pius Paschke
The German won for the fifth time in eight races since the beginning of the season
Paschke was second after the first attempts after Michael Haib&ouml;ck
but the Austrian was unable to maintain his lead and finished 0.4 points behind him - with exactly 290
Haib&ouml;ck made the longest jumps of the day - of 145 and 143 meters
but lower scores in terms of style deprived him of victory
Norwegian Kristofer Sundal finished in third place with 284.7 points
Second with 456 points is Austrian Daniel Chofenich
and five points behind him is his compatriot Jan H&ouml;rl
Zografski is in 37th position with 21 points

Gregor Schlierenzauer already became one of the most successful ski jumpers of all times as a youngster
he wants to fulfil his dream of Olympic gold at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang
he has maximum chances of being an outsider
After eight incredibly successful years, however, the high-flyer left the track, first lost the desire to fly and then injured himself several times (cruciate ligament rupture and finally collateral ligament rupture in the knee).
At the beginning of the season, coach Heinz Kuttin trusted his former predecessor, who is deaf in one ear, to do everything: "Anyone who has ever won a series can win again. In any case, his training values are as good as at his best times. He also enjoys ski jumping again and knows what he wants more than ever before."

Schlierenzauer collected 53 individual World Cup victories
two overall victories in the Four Hills Tournament and a total of six World Championship gold medals
At the Olympic Games Schlierenzauer still waits for single gold
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/gregorschlierenzauer/?hl=de" target="_self">Instagram</a>: over 74,000 followers
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/gregor.schlierenzauer/" target="_self">Facebook</a>: over 235.000 Likes
In Austria, Schlierenzauer is one of the country's absolute superstars - just like ski jumping fans worldwide. On the social media channels he let his followers also participate in his difficult times. As for example here at home with the golden eagle for the tour victory in the background. Schlierenzauer is also an absolute professional when it comes to self-expression: he regularly spoils his fans with films and blogs.

Schlierenzauer mentions his big head sponsor Red Bull on the website as well as his outfitters Fischer and Uvex and Audi as larger partners.
In his heyday Schlierenzauer with prize money and sponsorship income in total with millions of the big earners of the scene - and even now he is doing very well thanks to his reserves and main sponsor Red Bull. But even in his heyday he said in an interview with the press: "You're generally not allowed to do anything just for the sake of money. What about the fun, the personal satisfaction, your goals?"
He didn't have any prize money income in the end, but he recently presented a documentary entitled "Weitergehen". A real soul striptease - the star opens up and tells for example about meetings with psychologists.
Schlierenzauer's uncle Markus Prock is multiple world champion, overall world cup winner and Olympic medal winner in luge. He is also the manager of the Super Eagle.

Men’s World Cup leader Pius Paschke (GER) landed on the podium in five out of six individual events so far this season, and with three wins under his belt, he is looking to add more: this time on home snow. On the women’s side, Katharina Schmid (GER) returns to a competition venue she has fond memories of.
The Snow Ruyi hill in Zhangjiakou (CHN) might be a brand new venue on the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup, but the site is remembered by many from the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games.
Women’s World Cup leader Katharina Schmid (née Althaus), who won Olympic silver in 2022, is one of them. “I like the hill,” Schmid said. “It suits me quite well. I’m very much looking forward to the competition this weekend. I’m feeling good and ready. Hopefully, I can do even better than the past weeks. I hope to show the jumps that I’ve been training for.”
Schmid has shown to be in good shape, given her two big wins in the Intercontinental Cup in Zhangjiakou last weekend, making her one of the favourites for the second World Cup stop.
At the first stop in Lillehammer (NOR), Schmid landed on the podium twice with a first and second place. Reigning Crystal Globe winner Nika Prevc (SLO) and winner of the opening World Cup event in Lillehammer, will be one of Schmid’s main challengers in Zhangjiakou. Selina Freitag (GER), who finished second and third in Norway, is also amongst the favourites for the podium.
But the European stars will face stiff competition from the Chinese athletes competing on home soil, who are getting stronger and stronger. Liu Qi (CHN) finished second in one of the Intercontinental Cups last weekend.
On the men’s side, World Cup leader Pius Paschke (GER) hopes to continue winning ways. After wins in Lillehammer, Ruka and Wisla, the 34-year-old now aims to land on top of the podium on home soil. “I’m looking forward to when we compete in Titisee-Neustadt (GER), the first World Cup on home soil for me this season”, he said after his win in Wisla (POL) last week.
Paschke has 476 points in the World Cup standings, a 96-point advantage over Daniel Tschofenig (AUT), who is among the favourites for a podium finish in Germany.
Other favourites include Jan Hoerl (AUT), 2023/24 Crystal Globe winner Stefan Kraft (AUT), Gregor Deschwanden (AUT) and Andreas Wellinger (GER).
The men’s World Cup in Titisee-Neustadt (GER) starts with the Super Team Large Hill event on Friday 13 December, followed by two individual World Cup events on Saturday and Sunday.
The women also begin competing on Friday 13 December: they start with qualifications in Zhangjiakou (CHN), before two World Cup events on Saturday and Sunday.
•       The women compete in their second World Cup of the season and take the stage in Zhangjiakou, China.
•       The Snow Ruyi hill in Zhangjiakou (CHN) hosted the Ski Jumping competition during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games.
•       This weekend’s World Cup in Zhangjiakou (CHN) is the first-ever FIS World Cup to take place at the facility. Back in 2022, the Olympic title in the women’s event was won by Ursa Bogataj (SLO), followed by Katharina Schmid (née Althaus) and Nika Kriznar (SLO).
•       The men compete in their fourth World Cup of the season and take the stage in Titisee-Neustadt (GER).
•       Home favourite Pius Paschke (GER) landed on the podium in five out of six individual World Cup events so far this season. He managed to top the podium at each of the three hills that were contested so far this season (Lillehammer, Ruka, Wisla).
•       Paschke has a 96-point advantage over Daniel Tschofenig (AUT) in the World Cup ranking.
•       The last time Titisee-Neustadt hosted a FIS Ski Jumping World Cup was in 2022, when Karl Geiger (GER) claimed victory.

2024·Ski JumpingPius Paschke (GER) claimed his third World Cup victory of the 2024/25 season after a dominant display at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Wisla
Paschke topped the qualification rankings after performing an outstanding jump which was rewarded with 145.8 points
The World Cup leader then went on to improve even more as the day went on
A strong first round gave Paschke a 3.4 point lead thanks to a phenomenal jump (149.0 points)
The 34-year-old German then extended his lead even more with 149.6 points in the final round for a combined score of 298.6 points to further cement his place as the favorite in the World Cup tour this year
That&#39;s what I planned for since yesterday (when he finished third)
It&#39;s even nicer when it leads to a win
the first World Cup on home soil for me this season.&quot;
who is already enjoying his best-ever World Cup season to date
finished 8.5 points clear of second-place finisher Jan Hoerl (AUT) in Wisla
Hoerl was happy about his own performance on the Polish hill
&quot;It&#39;s going well so far this season&quot;
&quot;I&#39;m having lots of fun and I feel like I&#39;m improving more and more
It&#39;s all starting to feel a bit easier
I had two good jumps and I&#39;m happy with the outcome.&quot; 
Hoerl rose from third in round one to second and amassed a total score of 290.1 points to finish ahead of Crystal Globe defender Stefan Kraft (AUT)
who claimed his career-first individual World Cup victory on Saturday
missed out on the podium as he finished fourth (285.0 points)
Tschofenig was followed by Timi Zajc (SLO)
who landed a season best result with a fifth place
Zajc was not the only one who managed to go better than before: Ren Nikaido (JPN) landed in sixth for a career-best result
finished eighth after a disappointing second jump
Two-time individual world champion Piotr Zyla (POL) returned to the World Cup stage with a 26nd -place finish (252.5 points)
who returned to international competition on home soil following knee surgery in August
Pawel Wasek (POL) recorded the best result for the hosts on Sunday: 11th
Wasek and their Polish teammates had a special guest watching them from up close during the final round: Polish president Andrzej Sebastian Duda
“It’s a great honour for us to have minister Duda here at our event”

BERLIN－Germany's top ski jumper is confident the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games will have a positive effect on winter sports in China
"Some might complain about running the Winter Games in a country that so far hasn't been known as a winter sports nation," said Karl Geiger
Winter sports popularity will hopefully increase in China."
Geiger is also an engineer in the field of energy and environmental technology
and the 28-year-old reckons China has done all it can to provide an eco-friendly range of competition venues
Born in the Bavarian winter sports paradise of Oberstdorf
Geiger feels excited about the upcoming Olympics in Beijing
The father of a 2-year-old daughter said the Games are only about sports and the athletes
"Olympic Games are about sporting competition and a fair challenge for all participants," he added
Geiger said he is excited about the competition in China as Olympic Games are the highlight of athletes' careers
the 2020 world champion won the latest ski jumping World Cup meet
in Titisee-Neustadt in Bavaria's Black Forest
His current form makes him one of the favorites for Olympic gold
After landing a 143-meter jump last weekend
he took the lead in the 2021-22 World Cup overall standings ahead of second-place Ryoyu Kobayashi of Japan
The victory this weekend is a motivation boost for me," he said
Geiger started his jumping career at the age of 9 after watching countless training sessions at his local club and being a regular spectator at one of the sport's most important annual competitions
the Four Hills Tournament at Bischofshofen
He and his wife Franziska turned up for their official wedding photo decked out in the region's traditional costume
and playing the accordion among his hobbies
Living on the upper floor of his parents' house
the five-time world champion set up his version of a flight simulator
he jumps on a swing to constantly improve his technique
German head coach Stefan Horngacher is confident Geiger and his close friend Markus Eisenbichler
will be able to handle the pressure and excel on the biggest stage of all
"I am very proud of our Olympic squad," Horngacher said
The growing expectations in Germany seem to barely affect Geiger and Eisenbichler
we face the Olympic competition with as much coolness as possible
Another German in gold-medal form is luger Julia Taubitz
But winning the overall World Cup title last weekend is only a stepping stone for the 25-year-old en route to what she hopes is even greater glory in her first Winter Olympics
Taubitz's fondness for Beijing 2022's luge venue bodes well for her chances
"The track is like a dream," she said of the new Beijing 2022 course
which she competed on twice last year－at the track's official opening and at a World Cup meet when she finished second
"It's a perfect track for me; it's like made for me."
The National Sliding Center track in Yanqing winds like a dragon through the landscape
"It's pretty fast and due to its smooth curves
it allows a fluent and harmonic racing performance
For athletes who have developed a feeling for the track
Germany head coach Norbert Loch reckons she'll be tough to beat next month
"She has the feeling for a track like most others don't
She has developed into a solid and stable competitor and has gained ground when it comes to athletic fitness," said Loch
When German No 1 Nathalie Geisenberger took maternity leave during the 2019-20 season
Taubitz rapidly progressed from underdog to top contender
Loch is delighted to see the competition within the squad but says it doesn't affect team spirit
"We get along very well," Taubitz said regarding two-time defending Olympic champion Geisenberger
This gives us all a comfortable feeling when facing international competitors; we are a team living the spirit of a group."
Taubitz's excitement for Beijing 2022 is clear
there is no need to say more than just that
Loch said Taubitz has slipped into a new position within the team as she continued her upswing when Geisenberger returned after giving birth to her son
"All races and all titles are a thing of the past when we compete in China," said Taubitz

Whether climbing to the lookout or enjoying its 300-year construction effort from the Munstermarkt farmers’ market just outside the cathedral’s door
the Freiburger Münster deserves a moment of reflection and reverence from every visitor

The Erste weltgrößte Kuckucksuhr giant cuckoo clock and Schwarzwaldmuseum of Black Forest culture are great photo ops
but all else in the town plays second fiddle to the Triberg Falls
These falls are the tallest in Germany and can be admired from multiple angles via a nearby pathway
Instead of an about-face after snapping pictures of the falls
follow the trail for a fantastic hike into the mountains

Rest up without missing out on the views by enjoying a drive along the Schwarzwald Hochstrasse
This popular 60km (37mi) stretch of roadway is open to vehicles
which means you’ll be sharing the unobstructed views with other visitors
the stunning vistas present more than enough photo ops to go around
Don’t try to tackle all 60km like a race; the small towns and nature trails are worth every generous pitstop
the most obvious thing to do in a forest is to walk in it
virgin coniferous forests and deep valleys
with the most untamed section (some 100 square km (39 square miles)) in the north between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt
You can drive through on the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse
but the experience will be so much more magical on foot
Also advisable with a car, this spot some 4 km (2.5 miles) south of the Kinzig Valley is the home of the <a href="https://www.vogtsbauernhof.de/">Schwarzwälder Freilichtmuseum</a>
a reconstruction of an early-17th-century farmstead
The museum showcases original farmhouses that have been brought piece by piece to the museum site and painstakingly reconstructed
not to mention demonstrations on how to smoke meat and fish
© Dorotheenhutte Glassworks  <a href="https://www.dorotheenhuette.info/1/">Dorotheenhütte Glassworks</a> challenges you to create your own Black Forest souvenir
The art and history of glassblowing are on full display at this museum and workspace
Visitors even get the chance to blow their own glass vase to take home
Don’t worry about blowing countless vases for family and friends – much better to stop by the year-round Dorotheenhütte Christmas Village and pick up a few stocking stuffers that won’t exhaust your budget or your lungs

Matthias Münning / Unsplash  How can you earn one of the best views of the Black Forest
A two-way cable car offers an instant trip to the top of the Schauinsland
though there’s also a roadway that cars and motorcycles can climb to reach this mountain’s summit
and Voges Mountains are visible from the mountain side and there’s no better way to take in these magnificent views than taking the time to appreciate them on a long
This treacherous road to Hollental was originally named for its treacherous terrain but navigating it is a far less frightening ordeal these days
A surprisingly spacious highway and a railway both provide a smooth and safe ride for sightseeing in the Valley of Hell
Badeparadies Schwarzwald is a little slice of Caribbean paradise in Titisee-Neustadt
Renewed vitality awaits in the textile-free Palais Vital-themed sauna; while pina coladas
mai tais and white Russians loosen every muscle in the Palm Oasis
While the intrepid children are orbiting 23 slides in the Galaxy Schwarzwald
parents are free to indulge in a Black Forest Mist steam bath that’s out of this world
Lace up a pair of comfortable hiking shoes for this exciting trek through the Black Forest
Over the river valleys and through the forests to Wehraschlucht’s gorge
the full Schluchtensteig trail runs for just under 120km (75mi) reaching an airy 3,000m (9,843ft) above sea level
The majestic gorges are well worth the six-stage hike
Along the southern edge of the Black Forest is the town of Nagold
peacefully surrounded by woodlands and offering the chance of a stroll through a Stone Age settlement
Nagold itself is a pretty town with a handful of shops
With trails along the Nagold River and the Schwarzwald Nature Park nearby
this small town is an ideal place to rest tired feet and replenish supplies for yet another hike through the Black Forest
Explorers who want to conquer the Black Forest cannot claim victory without taking on Hornisgrinde
Though not the most challenging hike in Germany
but the sheep-lined mountain sides are too picturesque to resist
Hornisgrinde’s observation deck offers a unique view for every season and its sunsets cannot be missed
What better way to experience the Black Forest than a stroll among the treetops
Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald in Bad Wildbad takes visitors on a 1,250-m (4,101-ft) walk alongside the trees
Although the walkway does stretch up to 20m (66ft) high
the mild grade allows strollers and wheelchairs to easily climb towards the sky
Skip the treetop walk and opt for a ride on the Sommerbergbahn funicular railway or wind up the spiralling observation tower for an unbeatable view
With an Adventure Forest playground and educational activity stations throughout the park
Baumwipfelpfad Schwarzwald is a family-friendly way to enjoy the Black Forest without trekking too far
is a drive along the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse from Baden-Baden through the picture-perfect villages in the Kinzig and Gutach Valley
Plan a stop in the brewery town of Alpirsbach
and get your Instagram ready for the half-timbered houses in Schiltach and Calw
Somewhat surprisingly, the group of nine villages known as <a href="https://theculturetrip.com/europe/germany/articles/this-tiny-town-has-a-higher-concentration-of-michelin-stars-than-anywhere-in-the-world">Baiersbronn is something of a foodie hotspot</a>
with no less than three Michelin-starred restaurants embracing the magic of the ancient forest to produce something truly supernatural on the plate
but it’s worth making a night out here the focal point of a trip to the Black Forest
Stop giggling – it’s pronounced ‘titty-zay’

<a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany">Germany</a> may not be one of the first destinations you think of when considering a beach holiday
but it has over 1400 miles (2250km) of coastline on both the Baltic and North Seas
From the seaside resorts with hot saunas to warm you up before a naked dash into the cold sea
Editor's note: during<a data-testid="article-link" href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/landing/covid-19"> COVID-19</a> there may be additional travel restrictions. Check the latest guidance in <a href="https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/einreiseundaufenthalt/coronavirus">Germany </a>before planning a trip
and always follow local government health advice
This lakeside public beach in Wannsee has delighted aquaphiles for more than a century
the broad sandy strip can get very busy on hot days
basketball or table tennis or grab a snack or drink
Note that the northern end of the beach is reserved for nude bathing
has some lovely art deco buildings backing the long beach and adjoining a dense 130-hectare forest
The east and west ends of the sand are linked by the Ostseeallee promenade
Sunshine is possible; warm weather is rare
is a cheerful summertime playground with a name that makes English-speaking travelers giggle
has everyone diving for their cameras or into the ice-cool water
Though a tad on the touristy side in the peak months
a quick stroll along these shores brings you to quiet bays and woodland trails that are blissfully crowd-free
The <a href="https://www.seen.de/titisee/strandbad-titisee/">Strandbad Titisee</a> (Strandbadstrasse 1; Jun-Sep) lake-front lido has a pool and children’s pool
The Chiemsee is <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/bavaria">Bavaria</a>’s biggest lake (if you don’t count Bodensee
which is only partially in the state) and its natural beauty and water sports make the area popular with de-stressing city dwellers – many affluent Munich residents own weekend retreats by its shimmering waters
the vast majority of foreign visitors arrive at the shores of the Bavarian Sea – as Chiemsee is often called – in search of King Ludwig II’s Schloss Herrenchiemsee
Bernau am Chiemsee (both on the Munich–Salzburg rail line) are good bases for exploring the lake
The swimming beaches at Chieming and Gstadt (both free) are the easiest to reach
on the lake’s eastern and northern shores respectively
A variety of boats are available for hire at many beaches
This artificial lake, built by the unemployed in one of the earliest Nazi-led public-works projects, is now a favorite spot for boating and swimming. It’s certainly the most central, at just 30 minutes’ walk from the Hauptbahnhof and directly alongside the HDI Arena, <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/lower-saxony/hanover">Hanover</a>’s football stadium
Ferries – some solar-powered – ply the lake from Easter to October in good weather
Photogenically poised above its namesake lake – the Black Forest’s largest – and rimmed by forest
Schluchsee tempts you outdoors with pursuits such as swimming
skinny-dipping from the secluded bays on the western shore
The otherwise sleepy resort jolts to life with sunseekers in summer and cross-country skiers in winter
Aqua Fun Strandbad is popular with families
Warnemünde, near the port city of <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/mecklenburg-western-pomerania/rostock">Rostock</a>
and lazing in a Strandkorb (sheltered straw "beach basket" seat) on its long
climb the spiralling 135-step wrought-iron and granite staircase of the 1898-built lighthouse
Lined up in an archipelago off the northern coast of <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/lower-saxony-bremen">Lower Saxony</a> like diamonds in a tiara
are both a nature-lovers’ paradise and a perfect retreat for those escaping the stresses of the world
Trying to remember the islands&#39; sequence
Germans – with a wink of the eye – recite the following mnemonic device: &#34;Welcher Seemann liegt bei Nanni im Bett?&#34; (which translates rather saucily as &#34;Which seaman is lying in bed with Nanni?&#34;)
The islands are (from east to west): Wangerooge
Langeoog is your best bet if you&#39;re looking for a quiet
the most popular thing to do there is to stroll along the 14km-long beach
The main tourist season here runs from mid-May to September
Glamorous Sylt (38.5km long and only 700m wide at its narrowest point) is the star of Germany&#39;s North Frisian Islands
This anchor-shaped island is attached to the mainland by a narrow causeway
the North Sea’s fierce surf and strong winds gnaw at Sylt&#39;s shoreline
even as the eastern Wadden Sea shore is tranquil
Sylt’s candy-striped lighthouses rise above wide expanses of shifting dunes
fields of gleaming yellow-gold rape flower and tracts of heath
where the idea is to heat up and then run naked into the North Sea
Sylt&#39;s windsurfing is known as the most radical on the World Cup windsurfing tour
which finishes here each September when winds and waves are wild
There are water sports schools in every town where you can learn to master kitesurfing
Intrepid runners faced on July 28 the nearly vertical Red Bull 400 race in the Black Forest town of Titisee-Neustadt in Southern Germany
which takes place in different locations around the world
has been billed as the hardest 400m of your life
The climb reaches 37 degrees steepness with most athletes reduced to all fours when the slope reaches 30 degrees
the heartrate hits around 200bpm when getting towards the top
the elevation gain over the 400m course is 140m
The crawling begins when thigh muscles can’t get enough oxygen and the muscles start to lose their contractile function
the lactic acid build-up is about 20 times more than normal

The schedule for the ski jumping events in the upcoming World Cup season has been finalized
You don’t have to be by the sea to enjoy beaches and watersports
a former coach house sleeping four with shared pool
with shared facilities and communal kitchens
holiday cottages just outside of Iznájar from €55 per night for two or €82.50 for four
