Who has been to Germany?

[Murph]

Although some might see it as quite a grim thing to do, we visited a German concentration camp. Both wife and I enjoy history, so it was a must for us. It was extremely emotional exhausting, but it was worth the visit to get a sense of the hostility of the Nazis. I cannot remember which one we visited, but know that it was en route from Munich to Vienna in Austria (and there was a stone quarry inside the camp).

You can visit Dachau, which is close to Munich. I think it might have been Mauthausen-Gusen, which is in Austria.

There is a palpable feeling of loss and sadness in those places - not the place to go if you're out for a good time, but for a history buff it's a no brainer.

@FriedPiet - theres a place called Ramsau which you should definitely look into visiting:



My dream is to quit my job and open a pub there. Or herd goats - whatever comes first.

I love mountains and green countryside. These golden savannas and glaring sun of Africa ain't doing it for me. My ultimate dream is to live near a snowcapped mountain in a Nordic country.

Been to Munich, everything just works as said before, thoroughly enjoyed it, if you are interested in cars etc. then you must go to the BMW factory or BMW Museum near the old Olympic Stadium in Munich. That whole area is really nice in the summer with the massive park area etc. If you like your football then the Allianz Arena is a must see especially at night when it's lit up. Also visit the English Garden in Munich and in Summer you can see guys surfing on the River Iser

What I did was just started walking and explored by getting lost pretty much, oh and the bulk train tickets as mentioned earlier are really worth it.

I do want to see all over Europe. Just to see the historic sights and have a few with the locals

When I was still in school the parental units took us to go visit family therefor two weeks. Can't remember all the different towns and cities we went to, but Hanover, Hamelin, Berlin and Frankfurt were just some of them. Also did the Rhine, like HavocXphere said, the castles there are awesome.

This was like 17 years ago.

I've been to Cologne which is a beautiful city with an awesome gothic cathedral and a ton of other little touristy things to do.

If you can catch a train into Cologne just to see the cathedral it's worth it.

You can also pick up some authentic original Cologne fragrance there
