Hello. I have just arrived back home from one of the best couple of weeks I’ve ever had. I went on a trip around Germany during my holidays from uni, because I had to do some research for my dissertation (it’s about German culture, so I figured what better to go there and ask the Germans themselves about it). Before my trip I asked a friend about how best to get a round and all he said were two words: Germany train (http://www.railpass.com/new/passes/pass/germany.asp). It turns out the German railway system is really good and you can even get to the tiniest village by train. Because I decided to take that advice, I managed to see every bit of this massive country, from large cities to small rural villages. I’d recommend this kind of round trip to anyone, because apart from getting to see loads you also get away really cheaply and also manage to meet loads of nice people on the various train journeys.

you are so right about the trains. I lived in GE for almost years and it sure beats the autobaun.

We lived in Germany for 8 years and I remember taking the train from Frankfurt to Prague (Parva) - the best train journey I have ever taken. Nicest people too!!! Unfortunately, I had to use the autobahns daily and I DREADED driving on them. Glad to be back over in the USA for my sanity:)
