Hallo, my wife and I are thinking about making ein Besuch nach Deutschland this summer. I've visited some places in southern and western Germany before, as well as Interlaken in Switzerland.
It's been about 15 years since my last trip, so I need to know how out of date my last experience was. Are hostels and overnight trains still a consistently good way to see multiple cities and landmarks?
What advice would you give for a trip of about 8 days?
Where can we drink the best Dunkelbieren? Are there any cities or regions we should avoid as American travelers? Should I practice commiserating in German with locals about the state of American politics? Ich kann ein Bisschien Deutch, but based on my last experience, Deutsche Leute can spot an American and reply in English quite often and easily.
