Working on a novel and will spend some time this winter near the Black Forest. Looking for a 'dark' / scenic small town to spend some time in (South).

The hansel and gretel / Red Riding hood / moody etc - a town where I can easily get outside and walk through dense woods.

I'll be in Baden-Baden but get the feeling this is not the place.

Thanks.

The opening of BER is now scheduled for end 2017
The Brandenburg CDU asks however whether a completely new building would not be the cheaper option . At best, one could let the concrete in existing buildings and make the inside completely new - or you'd have to really rebuild. This says the member of parliament Jens Koeppen in German medias .

Next week I have a flight arriving at the main Frankfurt airport at 1pm and a flight departing the Hahn airport at 5pm. What is the best way to get to the Hahn Airport from the main Frankfurt airport? How long does it take? I was forced to do this because I could not find any decent evening flight connection to anywhere in southern Portugal or Andalusia Spain from the Frankfurt main airport. The only good evening flight connection was at Hahn.

Taking the train from Paris to Mareuil sur-Ay then Baden-Baden for the saunas.

Will be in Baden-Baden the 21-22nd of December.

Then up to Gelsenkirchen on the 27th. So I have a 4 night window of opportunity and not sure where to go.
However it's over Christmas (23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th)

1) Could stop off one night (23rd) in Frankfurt, then go to Berlin 24, 25, 26th

2) Just stay in Frankfurt and skip Berlin

3) ?

Frankfurt seems to have a fair amount to do, and I could avoid the long train to…

Hi,

I'm thinking about doing a weekend on the Baltic coast (Rügen or Darß) in middle November. Yes it will be chilly, but if the sun is out even sitting in a Strandkorb with some wine and a book would be relaxing. I won't have a car, so arrival by train is my option.

Does anyone know of some (real) farm stays in that area? Another option would be a historical pension or hotel in the countryside or one of the sea towns like Sellin or Binz on Rügen. My budget is 60-70€ per night in a single.

Hi,

Heading off to Berlin next week - been a few times - fascinated with history of this city especially World War 2 and the Cold War (Berlin Wall).

Anyone please suggest the most informative 3rd Reich tour that goes into a bit of depth and may take you to relatively unknown sites.

Also any former watchtowers etc remaining please let me know or books or websites with say Berlin before / after World War 2, Cold War / post 1989.

any other hidden gems please.

Many Thanks

Hallo,

I am planning a trip with a group of friends. We are aged 18 to 24, and are spending a weekend together in Hamburg.
But.. we haven't really decided on what to do yet. We want to go out at night and do some sightseeing during the day, but nothing too tourist-y. Does anyone have tips for the Hamburg nightlife? Where to go and what places we should avoid?
And what are nice places to visit during our trip? We were thinking of tierpark Hagenbeck one day, that leaves us with one day we still…

We're coming to play a few shows in Germany in Feb 2016 and I was wondering what would be the cheapest company where I could hire a minivan that would fit 7 people. Thing is we need to pick up the car from the Bremen airport and leave it at the Berlin airport.
