In a country like Germany there are lots of things to see and to do because it offers an incredible variety of attractions for all sorts of traveler and tourists. However, a place that we would like to recommend you to visit is Solnhofen, where you will be able to take one of the best looks at the past of our planet that it is possible yet to have.

Millions of years ago, northern Bavaria or Bayern, as well as its neighbouring states were not continental land as we see today, but a region of tropical islands, reefs, atolls and lagoons, much like the Caribbean or the Marianas. The characteristics of the soil then, and the way in which it evolved into a very fine limestone helped preserve many different fossils in a truly remarkable and unique way, possible leaving us with the best imprints in the whole world for the finesse of the available details.

And in a strangely appropriate way, since we began commenting on an airline, let's say that in Solnhofen, the first clues of evolutionary links between dinosaurs and birds were found. There are six different fossils of 'Archaeopteryx litographica', all found in the area. These little, half-meter long animals from the Jurassic period - which gives them slightly more than 100 million years of age, show characteristics that are proper of birds and dinosaurs, and are considered by many as the missing link between them.

In the realm of paleontology, there is a long debate going on about this, but that there is a connection between birds and dinosaurs, and the fact that this little animal had the characteristics of both is undeniable: the fossil samples obtained from Solnhofen even preserve the feathers. But there is more to see; the whole region offers lots of attractions, and if you know a little German language and travel a little far south, you will begin to receive a crash course in Bavarian dialect.
