5 comments about Daytrips Germany: 55 One Day Adventures (Daytrips).

1. There is no "guess-work" when it comes to this travel guide. The author has taken the time to create concise walking tours through the many varied towns, cities, and regions of Germany. If you have little time to spare this is the guide that you must have. Each walking tour illustrates the best route for seeing all of the important sights. The only drawback is that it was written for individuals who would most likely not have access to a car. Therefore, all of the walking tours originate at the local train station. On a few occasions, not having taken the train, it took us a few minutes to orient ourselves. By using this guide we have managed to enjoy many German cities dispite the marginal weather that is a part of Germany.



2. This book is an outstanding to see the Germany that most tourists don't. I lived there for three years, and was a tour guide; this book was always in my backpack. Each section has a quick history, at least one and usually 3 walking tours, plus suggestions on places to eat. The walking tours always start from the train station-in my opinion the best way to get around Germany, so if you drive, simply park at the Bahnhof. The only downside is these are Daytrips-very little on accomodation. All in all, an excellent resource-and I'm sure it has stolen some customers from me as well.



3. My wife and I are in Germany for a couple years, and this is our main tool for exploring other cities. We also own the Rough Guide and Lonely Planet books, but this is the one we prefer if we have to choose just one.

   Have a long weekend and want to get out? Jump on the train and explore a city. As an example, we visited Weurzberg on two occasions. The first was before we had this book. We found the Neu Residenz (a large 'house' that was home to the city prince) as referenced in our other books, but were unable to find any other attractions. We went back home with little knowledge or appreciation of the city.

   Later we returned and followed the walking tour in this book. No bus system to contend with, no street cars, only you and your favorite walking shoes. Skipping the Neu Residenz (we had been there) we spent the day walking and seeing the city. Thanks to this book, we left with a real appreciation for the city and what gives it it's identity.

   There are some other things to keep in mind about this book: For some cities you may have to break up the tours into two days. There is often one site that requires most of a day to see, a museum, castle, etc. You are left with the option of skipping perhaps the biggest "most important" thing in town, or doing the entire tour and appreciating the city's individual character as a whole.

   This is not an "all purpose" travel book. It is meant for day trips, and so doesn't say much about where to stay overnight. Finally, it's descriptions of some of the sights can be pretty sparse. You will probably want another book (such as Rough Guide) that talks more about the history and stories of the town and sights. "Daytrips" might direct you to a park, and the park will be very nice. Another book is needed to learn how the park is and was used, who the sculptor was that created the main fountain, and why the park is important to the city.




4. "I purchased your Daytrips Germany and have thoroughly enjoyed it to the point that the cover is dog-eared and the pages are falling out...Thank you for your hard work in compiling all of this information. It has been a godsend to our family and friends and is much more detailed than any of the other travel guides of the area."



5. We lived in Frankfurt for 4 years. This book was invaluable. All we needed was the Deutsche Bahn web site and this book to plan and execute all our day (weekend) trips. The maps in this book are perfect for walking around the cities. Enough detail so as not to get lost, but not so much as to confuse you. All the best highlights in the city are included in the recommended walks. There was not a single miss in this book. We took about 60% of the trips in this book over the 4 years and can say that every one of them is a cherrished memory.

1 comments about Improbable Voyage (Ulverscroft Large Print).

1. What Tristan Jones lacks in great writing skills he makes up for with great story telling and sheer guts. In 1985, as the Soviet Union was quickly approaching its high water, mark he threw caution to the wind and began a tumultuous journey that would take him through the badlands of the Iron Curtain. Plunging up the freezing Rhine in his ocean going tri-hulled yacht, wintering in Germany, and losing his American crew of two to homesickness and better job opportunities were bad enough for this one legged sailor, but Jones had an objective that he wouldn't put aside lightly. He took on a fresh crew of one, a young German boy, and set off to conquer the Danube and Eastern Europe as the first person to transnavigate Europe in an ocean going tri-hull. The Improbable Voyage is a thought provoking perspective of Central and Eastern Europe at the height of the cold war. It highlights Europe's divisiveness during this time from one of Europe's major arteries, the Danube. It is realism at its best from the heart of a spirited traveler.
