Germany Travel Podcast with Lena Brandt
Lena Brandt, a resident of Germany, spends two years traveling across the country following the seasons, from Berlin to Bavaria and the North Sea coast. The podcast highlights Germany's regional contrasts—northern plains, central woodlands, alpine south, and rivers running to different seas. Episodes cover places like the Rhine valley, the Harz, Munich, and the industrial west, staying long enough to observe each region's character. The show focuses on how weather and seasons shape daily life and landscape, rather than a typical tourist itinerary.
