The girl friend and I will be traveling in Europe for the month of
June.  This is a first for me.  Since Germany is the Meca for VWs, what
should I not missing seeing.  My lay over is in Frankfurt.  What and
where are the famous Vw sights to see.  Any other suggestion will be
greatly appreciated......  I have 2 days in Munich, 1 day in Heidelberg
and 5 days in Frankfurt.

We will likely stay in Wuerzberg for a few days. What is in that
area????

Please respond.

Hey Kenneth,
don't miss the Wolfsburg AutoMuseum. It's not too big but will show you
everything to let the aircooled heart beat faster (1938 Beetle and
Cabrio,
1949 split Bus Prototype, inner VW factory transporter 1946
"Plattenwagen",
411 Hatchback Prototype, Brazilian SP2 Sportscar, Beetle #1,000,000,
Hebmueller, pre syncro 4WD breadloaf prototype and and and
- and the last official Vanagon, 1992 last limited edition Multivan
#2500 of 2500, unused from new. I think this is the longest official
name
for a Vanagon, badged "Multivan Last Limited Edition".
I've been there zillion of times on the way to or from my parents in
my fathertown Wolfsburg.

There is a very very big technical Museum in Sinsheim between Frankfurt
and Heidelberg, very close to the Autobahn, which will take you nearly
half a day to visit.

Munich is offering you the wonderful Deutsches Museum which could cover
more
than your 2 days of visit (don't miss the Weizenbier in the evenings).

Wuerzburg? For us people from northern germany it's Bayern (Bavaria)
what means
Weizenbier, Weisswurst and strange people (they say the same about us,
exept of the
beer and the wurst).

Frankfurt: 20 mls northern direction to Oettinger's workshop, 20 mls
southern direction
to REIMO's shop.

And don't be to disapointed not to meet VW Beetles and 16" westys every
100 yards this days.

Good luck
