My feeling is that going in the winter was a very good move. Hardly anyone spoke anything but German to us and there was definitely not much cheesy tourist stuff. We were never really assumed to even be American, English a few times is about it.Streakerfreak said:I absolutely love Bavaria, but I doubt I would want to go there in the summer.
Dachau was powerful, but our Munich hosts (friends of my wife's family) were a little depressed that we wanted to see it. So they made a point of taking us into the village of Dachau to see the shops and have something to eat. Neat little town that is fighting the stigma of the concentration camp.
