Tanzania Kilimanjaro and Meru We avoid the Marangu Route (a.k.a. the Coca-Cola route) up Killy like the plague. We are a specialist walking company after all. Summit chance success on Kilimanjaro is increased with an ascent of Mount Meru first, affording invaluable acclimatisation. The spectacular and much, much quieter Shira route is then followed to the top of Africa. You'll probably only climb Kilimanjaro once, so why compromise?

Then this walk on the wild side is for you. Just beneath the Arctic Circle and a stone's throw away from Russia, how much more remote and different can you get in Europe?

Many of you may have seen TV presenter Julia Bradbury explore the delights of walking in Germany on the recent BBC series "German Wanderlust". If you missed it, don't worry, as there's a DVD of the series available. But, even better, shouldn't you be discovering real German Wanderlust for yourself instead of from a television screen?Since the broadcast of German Wanderlust, here at Walks Worldwide we've seen a dramatic increase in interest for walking holidays in Germany. Maybe it was Julia's infectious personality and enthusiasm for Germany, or the beautiful landscapes portrayed and deliciously mingled with art, history, culture, romance and gastronomy.Whatever the reason, at Walks Worldwide we're absolutely delighted that at long last the beauty of walking in Germany has received this much deserved attention. We don't wish to sound smug, but we've known about the pleasures of walking in Germany for many years now and were wondering when the secrets that we'd discovered from walking there ourselves would be out.We're also very pleased that in the series, Julia actually walks in the regions where all our Germany walking holidays take place; Bavaria, Saxony and the Rhineland, and visits all the highlights of these holidays too. Indeed when in the initial planning stages the TV production company contacted our very own trekking expert, Mark Knowles, for some advice, so it may not be just coincidence.If you'd like to follow in Julia Bradbury's footsteps (and ours too) you can discover your very own German Wanderlust. And with many budget airlines now operating flights from around the UK to various airports in Germany, it's never been easier or cheaper to get there either.www.walksworldwide.com Search: German Wanderlust In Search of the Swan King Alpine scenery, Schloss Neuschwanstein and the history of King LudwigWhen: June to OctoberDuration: 8 daysHow Much: From £595 Land OnlySearch: Bavaria Rhineland- Along RhineRomance, the Lorelei, castles and vineyardsWhen: March to NovemberDuration: 8 daysHow Much: From £595 Land OnlySearch: Rhine Saxony- Saxony's Sandstone Mountains (website only holiday)Saxon Switzerland, the "Empire of the Stones" and the Elbe ValleyWhen: April to OctoberDuration: 8 daysHow Much: From £565 Land OnlySearch: SaxonyThe Julia effect.have you got German Wanderlust too?German Wanderlust Walks6 Talk to an expert 0845 301 4737www.germany.travel
