Backpacking in Europe - suggestions?
I second the suggestion to go to the former eastern european countries.
They are still a lot less expensive. Serbia, Croatia, the baltic nations, Poland, Czech republic, slovakia etc, etc. Lots to see and do. You can always hit the big ticket locations when you have more money in the future to spend. Have fun Jason T. wrote: Any input? I just got my plan ticket!

I'd find it difficult to find a place more beautiful than the Rhine Gorge, with all the castles and little towns. Or the beautiful Harz mountains, not as dramatic as the Alps but very lovely. Or the view from Kaiserstuehl in the area of the Schwartzwald, with it's view into a half a dozen countries.

Try to hook up with fellow backpackers. That way you can all go in on
hotels instead of hostels. In some areas the hostels are really bad. Be care and DO NOT OVERPACK. Lava "Jason T." wrote in message .. . Any input? I just got my plan ticket!

Be advised, in some areas the hostels are really good, too. I've never been in a hostelling international hostel in Continental Europe that was really bad. Yes, institutional on a couple of occasions, but usually very nice. The one in Salzburg is nice, too. Very convenient, small dorms, great breakfast, located near everything. The DO NOT OVERPACK advise is golden. Pack much lighter than you think you need to. How much you are carrying will affect your experiene much more than how boring your wardrobe is.
