<p>[quote user="BATMAN"]Does Germany just have one time zone?[/quote]</p> <p>Brent - Germany is a rather small nation, less in size than Montana and basically with a north to south orientation, which puts us all into the same time zone. Germany has about one fourth of the US population, which equates into 11 times the population density. Makes it difficult to find a remote location. Places to find peace and quiet are either up in the high country of southern Bavaria or way up north on one of the minute islands off the coast in the Norh Sea. Something like this:</p> <p><img src="http://www.mendzigall.de/dieter/reiseberichte/hallighooge/Kirchwarft1.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>At hide tide or during a storm, that´s not the place you would want to be:</p> <p><img src="http://astro-science.com/images/Meteorologie/HalligSdfall.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Some of the little islands have their own rail link to the mainland:</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vpF_1nqveTw" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>The lines are owned and operated by the Coastal Protection Authority, but islanders are allowed to use the tracks with their home-built contraptions. You need to know your tidal calendar by heart before setting of for the mainland, though!</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt=" " /></p>
