A bench with two wooden hearts is a perfect place for a romantic break, while a double swing invites lovers to rock their way to happiness.

By the end of this trail, couples are bound to be head over heels in love and can then seal their commitment with marriage at the final station in the wedding pavilion.</p><p><br><h2>Museum of feelings</h2></p><p><b>Liebes Leben Museum (Love Life Museum) / Soest (North Rhine-Westphalia)</b></p><p>"Did the stork bring you?", is the somewhat blunt question posed to visitors at the <a class="type-external dzt-link dzt-link-external " target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" href="http://www.liebesleben-museum.de/" data-value="" title="Liebes Leben Museum" data-tracking-category="Linkaufruf" data-tracking-title="Liebes Leben Museum" aria-label = "Liebes Leben Museum (open in a new tab)">Liebes Leben Museum</a> in Soest. But let's be quite clear. This museum isn't one of the many erotic showcases that can be found all over the world in astonishing numbers.

"Do looks matter when it comes to attraction?" or "Is love all about scents?" are among the questions considered by experts in matters of the heart. Anyone seeking to get to know that special woman or man that bit better can find answers to their questions here.</p><p><br><h2>Romantic breaks</h2></p><p><b>Liebesbankweg (Love Bench Trail) / Hahnenklee-Bockswiese (Lower Saxony)</b></p><p>In the romantically beautiful natural setting of the Harz area, love wears hiking shoes.
