Hello,

I would kindly ask some questions about Berchtesgaden hikes.

We ordered flights to Munich 29.7 and we are plannning to go hike to Berchtesgaden 3 day trip.

How can we get from Munich to to Berchtesgaden? With train or bus and what station do we get off? Where we can find the timetables for trains or buses?

Also where we should start the 3 day hike? Where do we get map of that area? We are in good physical shape and we would like to sleep at tents or if there is some lodges.

Thank you for the reply.
Best regards, Antti

What it the best transportation from Brugges to ST.Goar?

Hi, we (I, my wife and my 7 yr old son) will be in Berlin the last week of July. I intended to spend a few days in Cologne (travelling by train from Berlin) and then probably go to Brussels for a 2 day trip and then back to Berlin. Wanted to know:

(i) Has the flooding affected the Berlin to Cologne rail route ?
(ii) Do the trains (Berlin to Cologne, Cologne to Brussels) have enough luggage space in the trains ? Will travel with a couple of reasonably large suitcases.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hi travellers!
My boyfriend and I would like to spend a month in Berlin. Our goal is to improve the language ( my knowledgle of german is very poor, I must admit it) and get to know the city and culture a nit closer than during couple day stay. We've taken into consideration summer course of german, but it might be way to expensive. Is there any way to catch a seasonal job for only a one month? Do you recommend any low-costed kind of accomodation?

Will be stopping at Rostock for one day (Celebrity Cruise) and would you recommend going with a tour group for $80 pp (5 hours), which also goes to Warnemuende, or just going on our own walking tour to see the sites. We decided not to take the 6hr train ride to Berlin based on everyone's negative comments.

We'll be flying to Berlin in late September and staying in Germany for 2 1/2 weeks. We plan to spend a week in Berlin, preferably in an apartment. I can't do too many stairs, so am looking for a place either with an elevator, or no higher than the 2nd floor (1st floor European). We'll be doing the usual tourist things in the city--I was there for a couple of days 10 years ago, but it will be my husband's first time in Berlin. My questions are:

1. What's a better location for tourists,Prenz-Lauerberg, Kurfersterdamm, Alexanderplatz or somewhere else? We are no longer young hipsters but do enjoy old and gritty with lots to do. We are not shoppers.

2. Any apartment recommendations?

Hi, I will be stopping in Darmstadt and I was wondering if any of you know of any good sugarcraft stores, or kitchen supplies, os stores with cookie cutters... Thank you!

I have never been to Europe before, but it's a dream of mine to visit a christmas market or two in Germany. The problem however, is that I'd had to travel this by myself ~ while I don't have any fear of doing this, I just wanted to see what people thought about safety etc. I'd be 20 by the time I travel, but wouldn't be looking to see the partying side of the city (my thoughts at this stage is Cologne/Aachen) - just experience a Northern Hemisphere Christmas. Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated. should I just be looking at tour groups who do these breaks?
