Ive spent a good chunk of time in Dresden, Germany (south of Berlin) and its a beautiful city that Id recomend to anyone. They have a big flea market by the River Elbe every Saturday. The center of the city was bombed in 1945 and rebuilt to look exactly the same and there are some really cool buildings. Theres also the royal treasure chamber (The Green Vault) and lots of amazing fortresses a train ride away. (easy day trips) Theres also the oldest still running steam boats that you can ride up(and down) the River Elbe in too. I know lots about this city, but not too much about the rest of Germany….

I dont know of any waterfalls in Germany, but there are lots of flea markets everywhere you go. The two that come to mind are one in Munich )München, in German) and the one in front of Rathaus Schöneburg in Berlin. (in English, the Town Hall of Schöneberg—Berlin has many town halls for different sections of the citý). Of course, the flea market is only there on certain days of the week, so you may have to ask. Not a problem in Germny, You will find many tourist information offices, identified by the letter “i”.

There are lots of interesting things other than fkea narkets, if you are interested in anything else. Many Ámericans fall in love with Heidelberg, not only the castle, the main street, the church and the summer presentations of The STudent Prince, but just about everything there.

i would definetly make sure to go to the reichstag in berlin, the berlin wall @ checkpoint charlie they will stamp your passport with 5 different stamps! i just love berlin! u will need a jacket for sure in march! also there are many walking and bicycle tours you an take, see brandenburg gate, humbolt university, so on & so forth. dresden is great too…this is where kurt vonnegut was a POW in WWII and got the idea for his novel sluaghterhouse five… HAVE FUN!

i find the cathedral in cologne to be fascinating! climb the bell tower if possible~ the view is awesome, as are the bells!

You already have some suggestions that are really good. Here is something, you don’t already have. Just take a look at this http://www.feengrotten.de/www/feengrotten/en/ I think this is worth seeing.

I’ll second some of the suggestions, you can tally up the votes ;)

- Berlin, especially see where the wall used to be

- Dresden, very cool, have to check out the Green Vault

- Neuschwanstein, if you like waterfalls, I bet you’ll love this castle! Although I don’t remember if there were waterfalls, there were streams, but mainly this is castle that the one in Disney World was copied after, and it’s set in some beautiful hills with beautiful trees, and just an all around gorgeous view.

I wouldn’t suggest Munchen, I just didn’t think it was that cool.

Another place nobody mentioned is the cathedral in Ulm – it was at one time I believe the tallest building in the world, and it may still be the highest church tower. In any case, it’s super super high, it takes you 1/2 hour just to climb the tightly spiraled stairs all the way to the top (dizzying!, seriously!) and I swear I could feel my ears pop going up. Do it on a clear day if you can, and you’ll have a very expansive view.

Hello!

I went to Germany visiting friends who lives in Western/Northern region…so I really got a chance to see their little cities in great depth. The cities were Delmenhorst and Marburg and this was back on 2001. I did drive through the country and happened upon some weekend festivals which were a lot of fun, but I couldn’t tell you where or when exactly these took place. If you are interested Bremen is a fun little town it’s the hometown of Beck’s Beer and the musician’s of Bremen made famous in Brothers Grimms Fairy Tales. (There’s a statue near the town hall, which you can rub for good luck.)

If you’re in for hiking the Black Forest is a great place to go…but you do have to cross your fingers about the weather, because it can be a little iffy in March.

Have fun!

at neuchwanstein, a beautiful castle south of munich, there is an awesome waterfall behind the castle. great for picture opps. i wouldn’t even pay to see the inside of the castle, just walk around the grounds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermannsdenkmal

You should have a look at the German Wikipedia page of the Hermannsdenkmal; it shows more pictures of the monument. Anyway, the forest is very beautiful and the monument itself is quite impressive, too.
Also, not too far from the Hermannsdenkmal there are the Externsteine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externsteine
Just as impressive, in my opinion.

The other suggestions I have seen are great, too. Enjoy your stay in Germany, I hope you will have fun.

Hi!
In the neighbourhood of Neuschwanstein I recommend a gorge called Breitachklamm at the village of Oberstdorf. Famous also the mountain Nebelhorn (Bavaria).
You might do a boat trip on the river Rhine between Bingen and Koblenz, the most interesting Part of the River (already mentioned above). If you have time, visit also the City of Freiburg (Baden Wuerttemberg, south west), which offers you a wonderful old city and a beautiful gothic cathedral.

In March it’s likely to be cold, wet and blustery depending on where you go but cold non-the-less, however:

Southern and/or South West Bayern (Bavaria) on the Austrian border has many water falls coming down the mountains. There is a town called Pottenstein (Frankische Schweiz) on B470 between A3 and Bayrueth. Würzburg is a college/university city on the Mainflues (Main River), formerly the home of the prince bishops it has a lot of baroc architecture, most especially in the old city, the Residenzschloss (Residence Palace) and the Festung (Fortress) Marienburg. There is also many quaint shops as well as modern departement stores, McDonalds/Pizza Hut or Local Fare great wine and beer. Würzburg lies on the Mainfranken River Valley that contains three of the largest, oldest and best wine estates in Germany. An American friend of mine (Donny Vox) is a local celeb and another (Jim Wagner) own’s Jimmyz Anglo Irish Pub on Carmalitinstrasse. The locals are now starting to realize that they miss the American presence, since the down sizing of the local US Army community, you may find yourself feeling like a celeb in many places you visit.

I spent 14 years in Germany and still have friends in Frankonia (North Central Bavaria) and Mainspessart. I love the land and the people and hope to return some day for another long stretch.

Germany is one of my favorite subjects so feel free to ask.

Sorry for my late reply, but I noticed that no one has said anything about Rothenburg. This is a must see town! It has the must photographed house in Europe. The city is a walled city and you are actually able to walk on the wall. There are a ton of cute shops as well.
-Other than that I would recommend in Berlin: the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, the Reichstag and the TV Tower. If you go up in the Reichstag at night you will have a beautiful night view of the city. There is a gorgeous castle called Sanssouci which is just a train ride away from Berlin. There are many buildings to look at, and the grounds are pretty.
-I would also advise you going to a concentration camp, they are depressing but such a huge part of history! I went to Dachau, you can get there by train from Berlin I believe, or maybe it was from Munich (look on a map).
-If you are in Munich, be sure to go to the Hofbrauhaus (the center of Oktoberfest) and the Asam Church.
-In Dresden see the wall of Saxxony, and the Green Vault.
-There is not much to see in Nuremburg, but if you are passing through and want a “I was there” photo, there is the Zeppelin Grandstand which was a huge Nazi rally location.
