[OSM-talk] Post SOTM: Mapping Party and Accommodation in Germany

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello everyone,

Immediately after SOTM I plan to take a trip for two weeks or so through 
Germany and then down into the Alps. Back in the 1980s I stayed in 
Münstertal in the Black Forest, just south of Freiburg. Looking at that 
area it's partially mapped but I do know that there were more footpaths 
(hiking trails) in the area.

So firstly, is anyone interested in a mapping party sometime during the 
week of July 13th?

Secondly (and apologies for being off topic) I have a couple of questions 
about accommodation and travel in Germany. In the UK (as you may know) 
there is bed and breakfast accommodation in private houses, typically 
costing £20-40 a night. Is there similar style accommodation in Germany 
and is it bookable via the web?

Thirdly, is there some sort of equivalent for Inter Rail for over 25s 
which allows you unlimited rail travel in all, or selected countries of, 
Europe for two weeks?

Thanks,
Nick
