        A Very Special Vacation To Germany

     In 1993, when I came for the first time to the US, my roundtrip from Munich, Germany to Tampa, Florida, USA did cost me 1400.- $. It was a special offer from Delta Airlines. Today you can get your roundtrip ticket already easily for 400.- $. The time is over, where a middle-class person could never visit a foreign country, because of prices and tax. It became same cheap as flying from Austin, Texas to St Louis, Missouri. Everybody can afford it.
 
But where would you go in Germany ?

     Germany is a country of European history. Since many hundreds of years, Germany did build up his political structure, and was always keeping things well organized and pretty.  Art, gardens, music and castles were the big hobby of every King in the past.

     Let’s look a little bit more closely.

     Berlin, Hamburg, Duesseldorf and Frankfurt are all younger cities (300 years is nothing), and don’t show a lot of history, compared for example to Munich. They have all their own beauty and stories to tell, but Munich is definitively different.

     Munich is at least over 1200 years old. Munich comes from monk. And from the monks came the most famous beer in Germany. We don’t have all these monks anymore, but to sit in the sun in a Biergarten under the trees and relax, eat and drink, is a very special adventure. Sometimes there is some music orchestra, what makes it even more special and fun.

     In Munich you’ll find most of the German culture and history, everything of importance is just around the corner. You wouldn’t be a real American, if you wouldn’t know the Disney Castle. But where does it come from ? Munich’s last King Ludwig II, was the biggest Castle Freak in German History, he did build this Castle with his “own hands”. And it is not far from Munich. All the sensations and historical places around Munich add actually up to just a one-day-trip visit.

     Here is also Salzburg, which is only 80 miles away. It is the oldest city in Austria. A big castle, the Salzburg (saltburg), sitting on a huge rock, is very impressive. No enemy could hardly ever make it. Half way up the rock, nestles a beautiful restaurant, broken into the heavy stone. You can only get up outside with a glas elevator. But the main attraction of Salzburg is Amadeus Mozart, his music, and also the very impressive Mirabelle Garden.

5 miles away from Salzburg is Berchtesgaden (Germany) and 8 miles away Bad Reichenhall, where the main salt coverage for Germany comes from. The salt lies deep inside the mountain, and you can visit down there the clean and beautiful salt lakes, nicely lighted up from all different sides in different colors, and made into a big attraction.

     There is also a lot of Roman and Celtic history around Munich, and Kelheim is the best place for it. it is a city at the Rhein River. If you know Attilla and Krimhild (the Siegfried Saga, the Nibelungs in Opera), the hundreds of years old script about it, was found in one of these castles on a high up mounted shelf in a steep staircase, where you couldn't easily get to, even with a long ladder. 

     If you would go for a winter vacation, you would find lots of high qualified possibilities, some fantastic skiing adventures. But think always like a pro and check on the snow conditions first. Go to the Alps or get to Austria, or visit Garmisch Partenkirchen in Germany and other places. After your sports activities in the evening you can then out-create yourself in discos (après-ski), mainly drinking some delicious glue wine with cinnamon sticks, to relax your body for a good sleep.

     There are many other stories to tell, but I think you got the whole picture pretty good. One could say, "A Germany vacation makes life a bit different".
