Northern Germany

Germany flag

  Photos from three cities in northern Germany that I visited as part of my first extended trip to Europe: Leipzig in the former East Germany, Berlin - capital of reunified Germany, and Hamburg - Germany's major port.

The rate of change and development I found in these three cities was so great that I'm more interested in returning to them than anywhere else I've visited in recent years.

Route Map

I was coming north from Munich in southern Germany so I reached Leipzig first, then Berlin and Hamburg.  I returned home to Toronto from Amsterdam.

A package of printable Germany Maps is available if you wish paper copies to follow along.
