Little Villages

Mix with the local people in the local villages. Sit outside of a beautiful Gasthaus, preferably near a lake or some sort of body of water and have a nice Bier or a glass of wine and socialize with the local folk. My favorite part of Germany is Bavaria, particularly in Garmisch, which is close to Oberramagau which is famous for wood carving and also the Passion Play is held there every ten years. You are only a stones throw from Austria and very close to Switzerland. Plus you have access to the highest point in Germany which is almost 10,000 Feet up, The Zugspitze. While you are on top you can walk across to Austria have a bite to eat and walk back.

Baden Wurttemberg

My family has been in America since 1881. I have at 55 years old just made my first trip back to the home village in the Neckartal. Not only was it my first visit but I was also the first in our family to return in 125 years. What a greeting and celebration waiting for us. this is quite typical in Germany and most certainly for the Swabians of Wurtemberg. While there in Germay we visited much of what was the western sector and it was all wonderful but the Black Forest area is the definitive spot for fun, beauty and peacefulness. Most highly recommended. It could take a life time to experience all things and places in Baden-Wurttemberg alone.

Trier

Spent three days there last year. The City is beautiful with its location on the Mosel. If you have a chance ride the bike path down the Mosel...goes all the way to Koblenz if you are really in good shape. So many Roman Ruins to see and their City Museum was really interesting and worth seeing. Walk the city as there is so much to see on both sides of the Mosel.

Bodensee

I recommend going to the South of Germany, visiting the lake Bodensee (lake Constance). It is bordered by Germany, Switzerland and Austria, close to the Alps. I took a boat to the island Mainau with my family. Beautiful. The climate is very mild and you can find palm trees, orange trees and many flowers there.

Berlin

I think Berlin is the best place to visit in Germany. It has so many interesting sights and monuments, and recent history of this city is simply fascinating! I recommend visiting the East Side Gallery (which used to be the original Berlin Wall). If I had to pick a Berlin museum (there are many great ones!), I'd probably recommend visiting the Jewish Museum. The exhibition is very extensive and interesting, and the architecture is breathtaking.
