Extreme sports in Germany aren't hard to come by. From parachuting to hot air ballooning and more, there's something for every junkie, whether you're new to extreme sports or consider yourself a trained veteran in the category. When I travel, one thing that's always on my mind is if there are any extreme sports in the area I'm visiting. So I thought it would be a lot of fun to share where the German tourist hot spots offer extreme sports and adrenaline activities for travelers like me.
It's not everyone's first choice while exploring the beautiful mountains of the Alps to grab a parachute and jump off them β¦ but for those who do, this page is up your alley! Find the best places for the best prices to do some daring new activities, and hey, maybe you'll become one of the extreme sports enthusiasts afterward. During my travels through Germany with Oma, as we were on our way to visit King Ludwig's fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle , I looked out the window of our Globus tour bus to see a colorful blob floating through the sky in the mountains above the castle.
I zoomed in with my camera to see that it was a paraglider! I had a crack at paragliding in British Columbia eventually successful , and it was my favorite extreme sport.
When I saw these parachuters flying over the historic Disney-inspiring castle, I immediately added it to my list of things to do next time I travel to Germany. Let's get out into the fresh air and start our extreme sports and outdoor activities tour with the amazing company that I saw in action that day.
I was able to grab a photo of the paragliders floating above the castle before we started our tour of the inside. The Paragliding Academy of Tegelberg in Schwangau is a fully equipped and highly experienced crew of parachuters ready to give you the unforgettable experience of flight. If this is your first-time mountain leaping, as I like to call it, you will need to fly tandem, attached to a professional instructor. Trust me, it's not something you want to do on your own.
