Germany....Any help?

I like to try speaking the language whatever country I visit. I agree, without a car a 'city break' would be better, and Germany has lots of wonderful cities. Visiting a former concentration camp would not be my idea of fun, however!
I recall staying in a hotel in Friedrichshaven near Bodensee a few years ago and a very kind gentleman offered to help me when I was struggling with plates of food and steps to climb, at breakfast. This very kind voice behind me said 'Konnen ich Sie hilfen?' and I said 'Ja, danke, es ist sehr freundlich'.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

Someone mentioned Dachau ?
My parents took me to visit when I was 8 years old. I'd say it has coloured my view of the world, and made me hate any sort of decrimination, or intolerance.
At 45, I visited Berlin (whilst on a business trip, I had a spare morning). The few bits of wall also had an impact.
If you have teenagers, in tow, these are a must I think.0 -
Should you wish to combine Berlin with a visit to concentration camp there there is always the option of Sachsenhausen which can be reached from the Berlin city rail system.

Definitely seconding Europa Park for the teen, and the area around Frieburg. Depending upon where you stay, there are sometimes free travel cards thrown in. Despite only knowing a little German, we left the car at the campsite and travelled around via the uber efficient bus service/trains for a couple of days, snag and delay free.0
