pm already sent, but for anyone else visiting..
there's a kaefermodell museum as well. if you're already in munich, check out the bmw and mercedes factory museums (munich and stuttgart).
there are auto museums everywhere down here. check out the meilenwerk if you're up north (dusseldorf, eller).
lots to do, lots of awesome cars here. and don't forget to sample the wonderful german beer. every region has their own varieties. visit local breweries, especially the monk brewery near the chimay racetrack. it has a great reputation. |
