5Mount Wank
It’s a fair amount of work to visit Wank, a mountain in the Alps in southern Bavaria that’s 1,780 metres (5,840 feet) high. Don’t fancy getting too sweaty? There’s the Wankbahn (Wank Station), with cable cars going right to the summit. Locals pronounce it ‘Vunk’, so they wonder why tourists insist on taking pictures with every ‘Zum Wank’ (‘To Wank’) sign.
6Bad Kissingen
Bad Kissingen goes way back to AD 801; this Lower Franconian district is home to a famous spa town of the same name once known for its healing mineral springs. It’s maintained its therapeutic reputation today and was where the Chinese Olympic football team trained for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The German-Chinese Football Academy is still open today.
