Looking to do something similar to this for about a week this summer. Anyone have good recommendations for places more off the beaten path? Access to good skating would be nice but it's not a dealbreaker
In Germany there are some cities besides Berlin which are definitely worth a visit. I like Cologne for its good skateparks and laid back atmosphere. Night life is good too. I don't know if it is because it is the center of the creative industry, but there seem to be more young women in that city than in any other German city I have visited. All these parks are located in Cologne:
Go to Frankfurt for alot of good street spots.
and a huge concrete skatepark
Go to Hannover for the best DIY in Germany:
Stuttgart is also a great city to skate. Lots of good street spots.
Just a few examples of good skate cities in Germany. Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Cologne and Hanover are only a few hours by car from each other. I am German and I think Berlin is nice, but apart from it being the center of the skate scene (all the skate media is there) I don't think it is the best city to skate in Germany. The best skateparks and street spots in Germany are definitely not located in Berlin.
