Germany is a vast country organized around its four largest cities with over a million inhabitants: <a href="kavval://cities/bc651eba-a6ba-4d2f-83b7-afc1474678b9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Berlin</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/dc7ecceb-f927-440f-9e4f-dd3544ae182b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hamburg</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/708e3a7c-aa26-4afd-8780-7f16a47be6ed" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Munich</a>, and <a href="kavval://cities/3f1a0d79-f7d0-49a4-9a46-daba704aa473" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cologne</a>. The country is crisscrossed by rivers such as the Danube, Rhine, and Elbe, and can be divided into three distinct geographical zones: the northern plains, the central <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountainous</a> region, and the southern <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a>. Bavaria boasts Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, standing at 2,962 meters. Good news for recovery after the famous Oktoberfest in Munich! Germany is renowned for its lush <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a> 🌳, which cover nearly a third of the country. Numerous national parks scatter the landscape, delighting runners and hikers alike.

Germany also has a wealth of <a href="kavval://tags/monuments" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">exceptional monuments</a>, such as the Neuschwanstein Castle 🏰, one of the most beautiful in the world! Berlin, a true cultural treasure trove, is a fascinating cosmopolitan city to discover. Urban culture enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy! Sports play a significant role in German society, for both young and old. The country's Olympic achievements speak volumes. 😍What about the race calendar in&nbsp;Germany?
