Dear Reader,

March is upon us! And we can almost smell that spring air on the horizon. Did you know that Germany, Austria and Switzerland are each pretty wonderful spring destinations?

With longer days come warmer temperatures, and there are budding and blossoming flowers and plants everywhere, which are alone well worth a visit anywhere throughout the DACH region. For example, you could head to Palatinate’s Southern Wine Route to embrace the almond blossom season while indulging in some fine local wines. Or head to Bonn to experience the cherry blossom that rivals the experience you would get in Japan.

To fully embrace spring, cycling tours are always a great idea. That’s why this month’s cover feature presents five perfect places to bike to this springtime. Furthermore, we head to Wartburg Castle and explore its significant cultural legacy.

Other topics covered in our March issue are an interview with actor Bernhard Bettermann, some brightly coloured and airy spring outfits in this month’s Fashion Finds, top event locations in Switzerland, the famous Berlinale event, Wartburg Castle, healthcare solutions, top coaches, 3D-printing technology, software development companies, education providers and much more.

Sit back, relax and thanks for reading.
