There is more to Munich than its two best-known industries, beer and BMW. Its parks, palaces, museums and opera house make it a top tourist spot in Germany, its people also cherish their folk customs, notably the wearing of Bavarian alpine costume. Leave a Comment

What really draws me to the place is the fact that when it's not being used for racing or car testing the full circuit is opened as a one-way toll road. No speed limits, although your insurance won't pay up if you have a prang. Sounds great, but remember that anyone can take any motorised vehicle around. You might meet a bunch of wrinklies going around on a coach, or some nutter making his crappy 1 litre Nissan Micra scream for mercy.
One lap costs around 20 Euro, although ambulances are extra.
Of course, Germany is also famout for its 'autobahns'. It is a myth that they are completely de-restricted. Many sections do have speed limits. On de-restricted sections, you really can put your foot down. It's not unusual to see a high-powered BMW or Merc pass you out doing 150 or 160 miles per hour (which is loads in Kph) Leave a Comment Address: Nurburg

Marburg is the most famous place, with a grand castle and little steep streets that make you huff and puff; I also liked Alsfeld, which was cozier, and had a very beautiful town square.
There are literally hundreds of little ruined/restored/standing castles all over the place, as well as twee little houses to fawn over. People who have grown up here find much of this 'OK', but boring, and patiently sit through your little exclamations and cooing with a nauseated look on their faces, although they'll be good sports and try to hide it. All in good fun. :) Leave a Comment

The compact old-town is a pleasing mixture of squares, museums, tiled roofs, cobbles and frescos that just shouts 'German stereotype'. It is almost as if it had been planned as a disney film-set with a pied piper leading the boys and girls through the streets whilst gingerbread men sing from behind wooden latticed windows.
The 'plan' inparticular, the main square is a very aesthetically pleasing place to be, none more so than during the Christmas market.
There is a very fine statue (a copy as the French obliterated it at the end of WW 2) of Wilhelm II on a big horse, on a big plinth sticking out on a little promentory where the two great rivers of the Mosel and the Rhine meet.
For years it was an acceptable symbol of German Unity and pride. I understand that when German telly came to closedown time, the German corner would often be used as a backdrop to the closing music (*)
The base of the statue is adorned with the names of various German cities and towns. When East Germany fell and the country was re-unified the names of former East German Cities were added to the monument - and thus the symbolism of the monument was somewhat lost.
* Nowadays with 24hour TV there is no closedown. Instead the night hours are filled with comely fraulines wearing skimpy lederhosen inviting you to ring them on 'Fine - Fumpf - fine - fumpf - sex - noin - sex - noin - sex noin. Leave a Comment
