We are 5 seniors intending to visit Mecklenburg Vorpommern September 16-21,2008.
We are interested in visiting Schwerin, Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund and Hamburg by a rented car.
We are interested in staying in one base place. In which town would you recommand to stay Schwerin or Rostock?
We thank you in advance.

What kind of transportation exists between the cruise port and either the center of town or the beach?

How long does it take? cost?

How far are town and beach from one another?

Would anyone know where I can find an up-to-date bus schedule for the Krakow to Prmyszl route? Many thanks in advance!

We are going on shore excursion for a day to Warnemunde and booking on a cruise ship could be very pricey. I would like your advice whether we can just go on our own for about 4 to 5 hour trip. How much would that cost and what are the attractions in Warnemunde?

Hi people!!

I am visiting Warnemunde for a day in a few weeks and trying to find something fun to do there or near by... A beer tour or an adrenaline activity or something out of the norm sounds good but I haven't found anything online that can help me out. Any ideas? I am really looking forward to the visit but would like to do something besides the usual. Any information is appreciated!! Thanks!!

We are going to Strasburg and Germany Dec 22-28th to visit the Chrismas Markets and have a European Christmas experience. My concern is that everything will be closed on Sunday the 24th, Monday the 25th and Tuesday the 26th. Does anyone know if 3 of our 6 days are going to be so shut down for the holidays that there will be no shopping, no open restaurant and no active market? We hate the idea of 3 days of meals in our Hotel! Any suggestions?Kathy

Hi, I'm going to pick up a sailing boat in Greifswald in June, and I was wondering if there is a place to store equipment and things for a few months. I will be grateful if somebody could give me information and a phonenumber.

Hello,
I have rather a weird question...but is there anyone who has been to or would be able to tell me anything about this small town? I have a friend who has a house there and I will (hopefully) be coming to stay for a little while during June (World Cup time). I have been having trouble finding websites, etc., that have information about it.
I will be planning on flying into Berlin and taking the train to Warin.
This will be my first time to Germany (and, as of right now, I know very sparse German). I have been told that in this part of Germany it is difficult to run into other English-speakers (not that I am coming to Germany to meet other English-speakers, just that I don't have much confidence in my being able to speak German, but I will try my best):). Anyways, any insight that can be offered would be appreciated!

Guna b there 9th - 15th Jan if anyone fancies a vodka or 2 ?

Hello...

I am taking my 13 year old on a European vacation in late May into early June. We plan to travel to Amsterdan from Atlanta Georgia USA, spend a few days there and then travel by train from Amsterdam to Koblentz. We would like to stay in the Koblentz area for 3 or 4 days. I am interested in any suggestions for things to see and do. We definately want to take a boat trip on the Rhine, possibly the castle or Nastalgia tour offered by K-D boat lines, and possibly also take a trip on the Mosselle. I prefer not to rent a car. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or comments relating to public transportation, hotels, or guest houses in the area or any tips about the area that would make it easier for us. I would also be interested in hiring a guide to take us around for 1 to 2 days. I would love to show Ian the perfect side of this area of Germany before we return by train to Amsterdan and fly home. I was in this awesome town and Rhine/Moselle area in 2002 and want so much to share it with him.. I would greatly appreciate any answers...
Thank you

I will be off a cruise ship in Aug for several hours and am interested in doing genealogy work in town of stabelow. I cannot find any info on that town. Can the town be reached by public transport from Warnamunde port? Know any Pingel people from that area to refer me too? The only other choice I would have would be a shore excursion covering the countryside of Mecklenburg and then I don't know if we would pass thru Stabelow.
Any WWW addresses would help or suggestions. Thanks

A couple of weeks ago, I returned to Sweden with the night train from Berlin via Sassnitz. On the way to the ferry, I saw several clusters of what looked like radio masts or similar, blinking in sequences with a red light.

Since it was a November night, it was impossible to see if it was indeed masts, or if it was chimneys, but I never saw any smoke (although it looked like some power station thing as far as lights go). There were LOADS of these things and all blinking in a sequence which gave a very spooky effect when seen from a train.

The train was too fast for me to see what every little village was called, but the first of these (I saw a couple) was just north of Neubrandenburg.

What did I see??? :)))

I will arrive in Ludwigslust next week and need directions form the train station to the student guest house "Zebef cV. Can anyonehelp, please?

"Oldenburg is a smallish town in the north-western Land Niedersachsen.", VT-Member RexMundi wrote, and he certainly means > Europe > Germany > Land Niedersachsen > Oldenburg -- http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/76b5/ .

But "Oldenburg" at this VT-tree (path) is situated in
Europe > Germany > Land Mecklenburg-Vorpommern > Oldenburg , a small place in the North of this German state at the coast of the Baltic Sea.

So any pages here are misplaced.

BTW: There is another one "Oldenburg" in > Europe > Germany > Land Schleswig-Holstein > Oldenburg in Holstein -- http://www.virtualtourist.com/vt/76b3/ .

Apparently some long lost realtives lived near Koblentz, Germany. I don't know anything about this city; can someone tell me about this region and, specifically, about the city itself? Is it famous for anything? Any historical significance.
Thank you!

I know Oldenburg is somewhat close, but has anyone heard of/been to/ familiar with Friesoythe? My friend is working in Friesoythe and I am planning on visiting there, but am wondering if there is anything to do, how traveler-friendly it is (I speak minimal German)... Anything to do? Any help would be *much* appreciated!
