Planning trip to the VW museum

[Sydney1]

Hi all

We are thinking of taking a trip to the birth place of our bus and take in the VW museum next summer. Has anyone else done this trip and have any recommendations of places to stay and other things to do? Had thought about going to the Black Forest until we realised it was the other end of the country but any suggestions of more local national parks or possibly the coast etc would be great. Thinking of going for about 7-10 days

Cheers

there's a campsite within walking distance of the autostadt (Campingplatz am Allersee)
and there is a second museum round the corner which isn't open mondays this is purely vw.

I went bout 10 years ago, and I shall return when my dads got his van completed.
Stayed in Hamburg, got the train to Wolfsburg and went to the factory for the day, there wasn't enough time to see it all, I think you need two days to see it all properly.
The main vw factory/museum is so vast, but the one down the road is Awesome.(And just vw's)
A must.
