Mine probably has to be mountain biking. I just love riding through the forest, sometimes catching some air time and swallowing the occasional fly whilst going downhill at 30km/h.

Is that right? I had no idea. Hermann Hesse made it seem like you just grab a crusty piece of bread and a bottle of wine and walk out into the Black Forest. What a bummer! Does Germany have Right to Roam?
It seems that there’s a limited right to roam. But it’s still pretty limited. Germany is a very urbanized country with not that many large national parks and if there is a forest or a park then large portions of it are also wildlife sanctuaries that you’re not allowed to set foot in. Because of that, there isn’t a big camping scene and instead camping grounds are created with very little space between the individual lots to save space.
These camping grounds are meant to be convenient and accessible, so you tend to have a lot of people concentrated in an area of a forest that you can barely call wilderness.
