The Peak District National Park occupies a large area in central England, mainly across Derbyshire with smaller sections extending into Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Yorkshire. It is divided broadly into the gritstone moorlands of the Dark Peak, the limestone dales of the White Peak, and the rolling farmland of the South West Peak. Unlike a wilderness park, it is a lived-in landscape containing villages, farms, roads, reservoirs, and historic buildings.

Passau
Passau sits on the confluence of the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz, so it is fitting that it is known as "the Dreiflüssestadt", which means the “City of Three Rivers.” The historical center offers a cathedral, churches and museums to explore, and the embankment is perfect for a romantic stroll.
Cologne
This cultural capital and university city holds more than 2,000 years of history and is the cultural hub of Germany. Marvel at the gorgeous twin-spired Cologne Cathedral, known for its gilded medieval reliquary and sweeping river views, or lose yourself in one of Colonge's many museums for a few hours. Cologne boasts of having most pubs per person in Germany, so make sure you sit down for a refreshing regional Kölsch beer during your travels!
