Guidebooks detailing nearly 200 green projects around the country proves to be a hit with tourists as first edition is sold out
Wind turbines and solar panels: do you love them or hate them? Do you think of renewable energy as the way to a greener future, or an awful blight on the present?
Either way, growing numbers of German communities think they have found a silver lining: theyre touting renewables as tourist attractions. A guidebook is now available, listing about 200 green projects around the country which it thinks are, in the travel writers time-hallowed phrase, worth the detour. The publication, which has already run to a second edition after the first sold out, was supported by Germanys Renewable Energies Agency.
