Germany´s Strangest Places - New edition 2023
Pia Volk
‘An exciting journey of discovery across Germany – and a book full of surprises.’ - Anja Brockert, SWR2 • ‘An amusing and enlightening read which reveals all sorts of astonishing things.’ - Roberta De Righi, Abendzeitung • ‘It’ll make you impatient for your next holiday in Germany.’ - Hannoversche Allgemeine • ‘Pure adventure!’ - Susanne Fröhlich, MDR • Secret places, obscure objects, bizarre landscapes – Germany off the beaten track • Featuring locations all over Germany • For anyone with an interest in geography or history
The geographer and journalist Pia Volk has explored the Wadden area and the Allgäu, the banks of the river Main and the Sorbenland, and has stumbled across all sorts of strange and unusual places: an oak tree with its own address; a submerged Atlantis in the North Sea; a chandelier in Cologne’s sewer system; the last surviving secret border crossing point for agents in the Soviet zone. In this exciting and entertaining book, Pia Volk introduces us to geographical and historical curiosities and teaches us to see our own country with fresh eyes.
