Holiday trend emerges following Rhodes and Malé, setting off on a new journey today
=================================================================
In the sweltering heat of summer, holidaymakers from the Rhine-Main region and beyond are seeking out cooler alternatives to traditional hot spots. From the mountainous regions of the Alps and Rhön to the coastal areas of Scandinavia, travelers are embracing a new trend called "Coolcation."
The Rhön, Vogelsberg, and the Waldecker Land are popular cooler alternatives to crowded beaches in high summer. These mid-mountain ranges offer refreshing escapes with their tranquil forests and cooler temperatures. Andrea Müller, a representative from the tourism industry in Poppenhausen, acknowledges the influx of guests seeking relief from the heat in these regions.
One such cool spot in the Rhön is the Wasserkuppe, a high plateau known for its panoramic views and moderate temperatures. Nearby, the nature park and national park Kellerwald-Edersee provide additional opportunities for relaxation and escape from the heat.
Gersfeld, another destination in the Rhön, offers pleasantly cool nights for those seeking a peaceful retreat. The Vogelsberg and Edersee regions, too, are attracting holidaymakers with their cooler temperatures and outdoor activities like hiking and biking.
For those seeking even cooler temperatures, the Alps (including German and Austrian Alps) offer a refreshing escape. Zermatt in Switzerland, at 1,620 meters elevation, is a renowned cool destination, with moderate summer temperatures and iconic views of the Matterhorn. Hotels like Hotel Bella Vista in Zermatt emphasize environmental sustainability and comfort in the cool Alps.
Though not in Germany proper, the Dolomites in Northern Italy are accessible and offer high-altitude cool conditions and eco-friendly lodging. The Paradiso Pure.Living Vegan Hotel in the Dolomites, at over 2,000 meters elevation, promotes a cool mountain refuge with plant-based cuisine and fresh alpine air.
Scandinavia and the Baltic Coastline are also popular with travelers seeking cooler summer climates. While not in Germany, these regions offer mild summer temperatures and pristine natural environments. The Baltic coast is known as a classic cool summer destination in Germany, with its mild summers and sea breezes.
However, it's important to note that not all news is positive. Dutch holidaymakers should be aware of an illegal parking scam that has been reported in certain areas. Always exercise caution and be vigilant when traveling.
As the "Coolcation" trend continues to grow, it's clear that travelers are choosing to prioritize cooler regions over hot vacation spots. Whether it's the invigorating mountain air of the Alps or the refreshing sea breezes of the Baltic coast, there's a cool escape for everyone.
