To make your tour very special, a lot of different activities can be added to your TERRA LU experience - most of them far away from tourist tracks:

Berlin is a very flat, bike-friendly city - so take the bicycle for a very unique tour in Berlin. Lead by U.S. American guides our Bike Tours are great ways to see the city and understand what makes Berlin so special. We will ride almost exclusively on bike paths and less-travelled roads, and we stop every few hundred meters to discuss the sights, so our tours aren't the least bit strenuous. Why punish your feet walking?
	Taking the bicycle is a good idea also in a lot of other areas in Germany. Take the route along rivers like at the Elbe from Wittenberg to Torgau. Or at the Rhine and through the beautiful countryside wherever you might stop.
One of the favourite places for rock climbers is the area of "Saxon Switzerland", a national park along the Elbe river between Dresden and the Czech border. Add this special activity to your tour, and enjoy the wild, craggy country with worn cliffs and plateaus. And if you don't happen to be in Dresden: there are several High Ropes Courses all over Germany.
	A "Draisine" railcar might be the most crazy way you ever used to get from A to B. Driven like a bicycle it carries singles as well as small groups on real rail tracks. Don't worry: the tracks are not used by trains anymore, so you can enjoy scenic rides through forests and over bridges. Riding a Draisine became a very popular activity in Germany. Tracks can be find in almost every area.
Germany's coasts, lakes, rivers and canals are all popular playgrounds for water-based pursuits. Canoeing and kayaking are very popular in several places like the Spreewald south of Berlin or in national parks in Bavaria.
	For centuries mines where very important to get treasures like coal, salt and other minerals out of the ground. Martin Luther grew up with mining since his father owned several copper mines. Some mines are open for visitors nowadays. Ride on an open truck through Merkers mine with its well known crystal grotto. Gold from the Berlin Reichsbank where brought here by the Nazis in WWII, and General Eisenhower himself came to evacuate it.
If you want to get even deeper insight information than your TERRA LU companion and your group leader can give you, book the help of local guides in the different towns. They will show you special points of interest, or give you detailed information to different topics. Jewish life before WWII, the biography of a certain writer, or different architectural styles might give your tour a special theme. Some guides might also show up in historic costumes - let a real looking knight, town writer or night guard be your guide in a medieval restored small town!
