In Germany I recommend the following:
Speyer EDRY (see
http://www.evsf2.science.ru.nl/Janh/...o%20Speyer.pdf )
Schwabisch Hall EDTY
Straubing EDMS
Egelsbach EDFE
You can usually get further info by doing a Google search. Many of these airfields have their own sites with an option to view them in English!
Have a good trip!
.... and another thought for you MAK -
It\'s worth buying the Jeppesen Bottlang VFR \'trip kits\' for France and Germany. These are \'one off\' country manuals but without a monthly update service.
In the front sections (Met, Coms, Gen, Regs, Diverse, and Germany etc) loads of invaluable information....
* contact details
* whole country maps with airfields
* Flight Information Service frequencies
* Customs airports
* local oddities that you must be aware of!
definitely worth getting hold of.
..... and avoid flying through Belgium - they hate GA and will have you flying at 500\' BMSL (below sea level) if they had their way.
The French and Germans are great and you can do virtually anything if you keep in touch with a Flight Info Service. Cut down through the eastern border of France (past Belgium and Luxembourg) before cutting into Germany somewhere near Thionville LFGV. You can then get straight to Speyer as your first stop.
Do make sure you avoid the ZITS in France (protection zones around the various nuclear power stations). Apparently the fines are in the order of 50,000 Euros! Doing this is one of the few trangressions that will get our French friends really upset
