Subject:I need help planning my trip to Germany in April

Volks,
I will be heading to Germany in April.  The main purpose of the trip will be
to partake at the Syncro off road get together in Karenz which is close to
Hamburg.  The Karenz event is April 11, 12, 13.   Before the trip I will be
purchasing a Syncro of my own to go to the even and possibly a VW Iltis as
well just because I miss mine old one so much!

What should I do with the rest of the time that I am in Germany?  I've been
to Wolfsburg and have seen Audostadt and the Museum.  I've driven from
Berlin to Hamburg too many times.  I spent a whole summer in the
Frankfurt-am-Main region.  So I am looking for something a little different
from my usual trip of gathering interesting VWs and parts.  Does any one
have any suggestions on where I can go?  My friend in Bremen is taking me to
the Beck's factory for a tour and I might take a spin up to Denmark or
Belgium.  Is there any list members in Germany who want to get together for
a beer or coffee?

It seems the deal with the air lines is that my last 'hop' within Germany is
free.  I could go Vancouver-Toronto-Munich and Hamburg-Frankfurt-Vancouver
for the same price as if I went Vancouver-Frankfurt return so it is pretty
open as far as where I can go within Germany.  More than likely I will be
getting a German Rail pass as well...

Suggestions are welcome and appreciated!
