From the Back Cover:

Covers every part of the country, from Berlin to Dresden, the Black Forest to Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Bavaria – with the kind of inside detail that only a full-time resident can provide. Did you know that Cologne has the world’s largest Gothic church, that Germany has more medieval castles than any country, including one that dates to the 7th century and is still occupied? And then, of course, there is Neuschwanstein, Disney’s inspiration. The author guides us to and through all the best ones. Hundreds of small towns are barely changed from the Middle Ages. We visit the best ones. The author provides innumerable tips on special discounts available for travelers (some 20 on train and bus travel alone) and tells how to save on gas (cheapest on Mondays, most expensive on Wednesdays), as well as virtually everything else, with inside information on getting the best hotel rooms at the best prices, the best deals and the best food at restaurants. For every area of the country, full information is supplied on how to get around, the best shopping, the foods and the recommended places to eat, where to stay, from charming guesthouses, hostels and campsites, on up to the most luxurious hotels. Includes town and country walks, cycling, fishing, canoeing & kayaking, Rhine cruises, wine tours, concerts and other cultural events – it’s all here! As an Adventure Guide, shows you how to experience everthing the country offers more intensely and directly than most travelers know how to do – seeing the place close-up through adventures, both cultural and physical, including in-depth encounters with the people. Other guides lack our level of detail, our adventure perspective and our emphasis on direct experience of the country. We provide an insider’s knowledge that you won’t find in other guides.
