More for Germany
A long weekend here means three or more consecutive non-working days — weekends plus any public holiday that touches them. Entries marked * aren't automatic: they need the one marked day of leave to happen. Everything assumes a standard Saturday–Sunday weekend and a five-day week, and counts nationwide public holidays only — confirm your own leave rules and any regional holidays before booking.
