Has anyone here ever been to Germany?
Or are you from Germany? I am planning a trip to visit Europe, and Germany is the very first place I want to visit. The history, the culture, the land, all of it captures my imagination, and I have so much desire to see it and experience it. If you have any knowledge of good places to go, or where I should focus my visit; I would like to hear it. :)
My plan is to save for a round trip, rental car for a week, and hotel stay. That way, I can day trip a few times and experience as much of the country as I can in the time I can afford.
Deutsche Benutzer, was Sie zu sagen haben, mochte ich -blam!-; Wo soll ich hingehen? was sollte ich tun? Mein Deutsch ist verkummert :/ aber ich liebe Deutschland. :)

Legoland. That’s what I remember… Neuschwanstein Castle as well. That was pretty neat.

Have you ever seen a picture of Hundelshausen, Hesse, Germany? I recently read an article about the most colorful lakes and rivers in the world, and it really looks amazing. *Hopefully, I spelled the name correctly.*

I was stationed in southern Germany for two years. The closest big town was Stuttgart. It depends on what airport you use since a week isn't that long. I'd watch some YouTube video on what people recommend. There are castles all over the place and museums too. I'd work out an itinerary based on what interests you; castles, museums, bier halls, whatever. I went to three of Ludwig's castles and found them fascinating. There are Porsche and Mercedes museums too if you're into cars or racing. Word of warning. On the autobahn you drive in the right lanes and pass in the left. Cars really do go way over 100 in the fast lane. A Koenigsegg on YouTube hits over 250 mph! It's a beautiful country so have fun.

No, but my brother has been. I'll ask him and get back to you.

1 ReplyHonestly? If you can get over to Poland, -blam!- is well worth the visit. It properly demonstrates the scale and brutality of the Germans' plans better than anywhere else. -blam!- I has been turned into a museum, with photos, artefacts and stories of what the Germans did to the prisoners during the war. The larger -blam!- II, about 2 miles from the first camp, is almost as it was left in 1945, and is an eerie place. They are well worth visiting if you get the chance. You can get a bus or a train from Cracow (the journey is 1 1/2 or 1 hr).

3 RepliesI was stationed in Germany from 2011 to 2014 in Kaiserslautern.

3 RepliesI've been to Frankfurt and Hamburg. That was 20 years ago though.

2 RepliesIf you want to visit Berlin the worst option to travel is a car. You can buy a daily ticket and it’s so much easier to travel on this city ( you can also buy a Deutschland ticket for 49€ (1 month) and travel on all Germany with a regio trains, bus, and other communication

Never been, farthest I ever been was Canada, and at sea in open waters on a trip with the Navy. Germany would be cool to visit, lots of interesting foods and great beer. My only advice would be to learn some lingo and slang in order to communicate and I hope you have a blast...

1 ReplyEdited by Cultmeister: 5/2/2024 5:27:18 PMMy grandmother was German but was then made French. She’s from a region called Alsace-Loraine which is on the border between France and Germany, and it was contested territory for the last few centuries, changing hands a few times from what I can gather. Anyway between WW1 and 2 the Germans had it, so when my grandmother was born in '39 she was German. Then near the end of the war the Americans came through and 'liberated them' (read: bombed everywhere to -blam!-) and then the French took the territory, so then she became French. Because of how much each side fought over it Alsace is kind of both French and German now, with their own mashup language, culture, food etc. even if they’re still official French territory. It’s where Quiche comes from, among other things My grandmother has a house there (her grandmother's house) and we used to visit every year, but not so much these days. Just a farmhouse in the middle of a rural town. I’ve only ever been into Germany properly a few times, one year we took a trip into the Black Forest and another year we went to this super fancy fish restaurant along the Rhine (the river that serves as the border these days)

2 RepliesNo, but I did a dna test and am like 80% German.

4 RepliesThat's one place I wonder how much of their history is actually on display. Without getting too deep, the only things I'd really have any interest in seeing or visiting there would be the Weinstenphaner brewery, and the Nurburgring.

2 RepliesEdited by Panzer I: 5/3/2024 2:47:48 PMMy father lived in Germany for a few years of his early life, as my grandfather was military at the time like he is now. I'll ask him about it next time I see him, and get back. I also have a Norwegian friend who's an exchange student in my grade who I might be able to ask about it, she's rather fluent in German. Well, not very helpful but the only thing my European friend told me: "Don't go there why would you go to Germany???"
