Fernweh - literally translated it means “far-woe,” more figuratively: A longing for distant places. There are other, more poetic definitions of the word as well, one being “homesick for a place you’ve never been.” Homesick is a word we all know (in German: Das Heimweh), and Fernweh is the exact opposite.
