Soccer
is the most popular sport in Germany. Hundreds of amateurs
clubs are scattered all throughout Germay, allowing all of it's citizens
to practice and play soccer. But, soccer isn't the only sport in Germany: it’s also possible to find gymnasiums,
swimming pools, and other sports playgrounds, like handball,
volleyball, basketball, tennis, etc.
Golf is considered an elite sport, so there are
few public spaces to practice, although it’s
possible to find private clubs. Tennis is another sport
with few public spaces for practice, despite
tennis being a highly played sport, due
to the popularity of stars like Boris Becker or Steffi
Graf. Unlike these two sports, you'll be hardpressed to find
a German town or city that lacks a public swimming
pool, indoors and outdoors. Some popular watersports
in Germany are fishing (sea or river), and sailing, usually
practiced in the Northern coast of the country.
The best options fotrekking or hiking
are the Harz mountains, the Black Forest and the Bavarian
forest. There are about 132,000 kilometres of registered
footpaths, and it’s possible to find cabins and
refuges throughout the alpine footpaths, created and maintained
by the German Alpine Club. As for the winter sports, most
of the ski centres are in the south of Germany. It’s
also possible to find ice hockey and skating tracks.
