Yes. We know from German folklore (think Hansel and Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood) that the forest, or Wald, was an important part of life in Germany’s past. With forest still covering 31 per cent of the country – almost three times as much as the UK – the nation is deeply green.
It is also way ahead in terms of “green” issues. Germany recycles three-fifths of domestic waste compared to about one-fifth here; there are now only 150 landfill sites in Germany, compared with 50,000 in the early Seventies.
If you are choosing the nation at the heart of Europe initially for its environmentally friendly credentials, you are in for a treat in terms of the green and open spaces it offers. Germany has one-third more people than Britain, but the population density is lower and more rural.
