If everything you know about Germany comes from the history channel then you are missing out. Germany is one of the most enriched, beautiful, friendly countries in the world and is a must for travelers. Here are some Fun Facts might sound weird to outsiders.
**There are over 82 million persons living in Germany, making it one of the most densely populated countries in the world and yet almost 1
/3 (31%) of the country covered with forests and woodlands. This makes Germany one of the most beautiful countries in Europe.
**Quark is not a scientific term but to a sort of cheese.
**Even though they have one of the best public transport systems in the world, Germans love cars - just think of famous brands such as BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and the Autobahn where you can drive at 300 km per hour! **
**There are hundreds of castles in Germany! Some are still inhabited by aristocratic families, others have been transformed into hotels and restaurants, and still others are in ruins.
**Germans really do love beer; they rank second in world-wide beer consumption per person after Ireland.
**The biggest Beer Festival in the world is of course the Oktoberfest in Munich, Bavaria, where the size of the beer glass is not 500ml but a whole liter, the Mass!
**There are more football (soccer for the North Americans) fan clubs in Germany than anywhere else in the world.
**Germans love Paprika, and not just the spice, the vegetable too, (also known as green pepper) only the one they like is red.
**Germans, like most Scandinavians, do not sleep between two sheets. They like to sleep with one sheet underneath and a duvet directly on top of them. And their pillows are not rectangular: they like big very fluffy square pillows.
