Germany - Tips
Koingsee - near Berchtesgaden.A beautifull lake with very clear water, the boat takes you to the far end of the lake (like a fjord) and there you can see the chapel of St. Bartholoma and next to it there is a good fish restaurant. in the middle of the lake the captain takes out a trumpet and start playing, and you can hear the echos from the walls around the lake.

in Berchtesgaden you should try to visit the salt mine, its similar to the one in Austria - you go underground and take a boat tour there in a salt lake, you also slide down the shaft and you can purchase the photo of your scared face after.

When I arrived to Munich airport i bought a family train ticket to Munich (7.5 Euro, 2 adults and up to 3 childrens) and a
3 days transportasion pass (17.5 for family)
i found a room near station U6 which is a coltural center of the city, lots of restaurants, bars, shops and so on.
After 2 days in the city i rented a 4X4 car for 11 days at 425 Euro. i learned that you can get a free parking card for tourists that allows you to park up to an hour and a half everyhwhere that parking is allowed - you get this ticket at the information center - its a bluw card with white and clock at the middle of it. I drove mostly off highways (highways have a one digit number) A very nice romantic city that i would stay more is GELNHOUSEN - not far from Frankfurt its a very old city, during the morning you can go to the market located at a parking lot and watch women buy 1 tomato, 2 onions and so on and put it in a basket like in the fairy tales. In the center of this town there is a hotel - 40 Euro per night It is recommended to "travel" at home with your maps before the trip so you can study the places. I also think its a good idea to take mobile phone with you to be in contact all the time. About guestroom: dont panic if you dont find a room beacouse they dont allways call it "zimer" they have all kind of names : guesthouse, inn, apartment and so on. the prices we paid were between 25-62 Euro (and the 25 Euro was the best) if you have any quastions feel free to ask us.

If you are in Berlin try to arrange a visit at the beautiful synagogue at East BerlinThe synagogue is located at quarter: Prenzlauer berg at Rykestrasse (Rika street) To visit you must arrive on Friday night Saturday morning or on holydays, during the week it's closed. You can also try to arrange a visit with the Jewish community (ask at the new synagogue) And while you visit ask them to open the big synagogue (usually prayers take place at a smaller room) *** Don't forget to bring your passport couse the place is secured.
