Where can Germans be found in summer? In all likelihood, outside in the fresh air. Maybe catching some sun at the beach or at the pool. But long walks, hiking, and cycling are also popular in the warmer months. However, there is one pursuit that is particularly close to the German heart and which has to be part of every summer: the BBQ. Whether in the park, on the balcony or in the back garden – when it gets warmer, Germans gather with friends and family around the BBQ, where sausages, meat, and vegetables are sizzled on the grill. There’s also tasty herb quark, fresh butter, salad, and bread.
