Getting arround

Traveling in germany is quite easy, because every place is connected by public Transportation. Most important for Backpackers is the German Railwail, Deutsche Bahn (DB). Informations are available on www.bahn.de or at the large stations. For small distances, ask locals for the correct bus. There are also buscompanys providing connections between the larger citys. For travelling through europe the Interrail pass is a good idea, since its about 300 EUR travelling through a coupke of countrys for a month. For more information ask at the "Reisezentrum" of the railwaystations. A alternative way to travel through germany is hitchhiking, especeally in summer. Although Hitchhikers are getting rare in germany its safe and cheap. Naturally its safer when you don't travel alone, especeally for women. You can make your way through germany in one day on the thumb.
If you take the plane, remember usually oneway flights in germany are sometimes more expensive than a return ticket. You can get a ticket for about 140 EUR to all the places. Usual travelagents offer cheaper prices than the arlines themself.
