As was mentioned above, it is difficult to advise you without knowing where in Germany. Germany is similar in size and diversity to the "Big Ten" (OH/IN/MI/IL/WI/IA/MN).<BR><BR>I find that the best way to approach lodging in Germany is to click on the website of the town - - and a very high percentage of smaller towns have a website at www.townnamehere.de - - take a look at www.oberkirch.de as one example. This is a preety typical example - - some English available for some screens, though it helps to know some German. Lodging falls under Gastronomie (roughly "hospitality" as it includes both Restaurants and Accommodations) not Tourismus (sights).<BR><BR>The German National Tourist Office is also an excellent source of info, though you need to call TOMORROW to get in time to do anything with the packet(s) they send to you. If you are lucky enough to live in Los Angeles or New York, you could go there in person.<BR><BR>The website www.towd.com has info on the National Tourist Office(s) for Germany (and every other part of the world), as follows:<BR><BR>German National Tourist Office<BR>8484 Wilshire Blvd. <BR>Beverly Hills, CA 90211<BR>Telephone: +1 323 655 6085 <BR>Fax: +1 323 655 6086 <BR>Email: [email protected]<BR>Web site: http://www.visits-to-germany.com<BR>This entry last updated March 2001 <BR><BR>USA/New York<BR> <BR>German National Tourist Office<BR>Chanin Building, 52nd Floor<BR>122 East 42nd Street<BR>New York, NY 10168-0072<BR>Telephone: +1-212-661-7200 <BR>Fax: +1 212-661-7174 <BR>Email: [email protected]<BR>Web site: http://www.us.germany-tourism.de/ <BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR> |
