I will start off with Hamburg for 3-4 days with my parents. I will be travelling by train with a monthly pass. For Germany, I am still planning it out but I might go to Leipzig, Dresden and some smaller towns in Bavaria, but this is tentative and due to change. I also plan on going to Northern Italy for a few days to see friends, Austria for a metal festival and Netherlands to see another friend near the German border. One thing I am looking forward to is the local beer I will drink there. I can tell you more through private messages
Wow that sounds awesome! Dresden is so beautiful, good choice, I hope you will have nice weather^^
In Bavaria you should visit München (Munich) and if you have time, Landshut is a nice town with a great medieval core.

I also want to find some Pagan sites in Germany, excluding Exerstine
That´s a nice idea, I´ve been to Westfalen where you find the Externsteine,
and they are really awesome, and we had such a sunny great day there.
Not far away is the Hermannsdenkmal, the monument of Hermann the German,
who fought in 9 AD against the Romans, to avoid a romanisation of the Germanics.
Near the monument is a nice town called Detmold.
If you drive a bit on, you can reach the Wewelsburg, the mysterious castle where the SS was active,
there is a very long museum about the history of the SS.

I actually plan on going to Wewelsburg. I will be travelling by train since I want to cut down on costs for renting a car and gas. I am trying to find a good train/bus route to Wewelsburg.
I think I might stop in Munchen. If I do, I hope there are some beer halls near the train station
If you stop at the Hauptbahnhof (main station), you can go directly east along the street,
and you will come to the Karlsplatz/ Stachus. This square is the begin of the historical town,
usually you will find it easily, because you see the historical buildings east of the station.
Along the historical street there are some beer halls and shops and churches.
If you wanna visit the most famous beer hall, the Hofbräuhaus, you have to go very far east,
but you surely can ask some people to find it. Tho I think it is not the best hall,
even when it is the most famous^^
If you go behind the gothic white town hall, you will reach some more sightseeings.

Which would be the best beer hall or one you prefer the most in Munchen? I want to also find a good restaurant for local dishes (I am not coming to Europe to eat food foreign to the countries I visited)
Visit the Augustiner, a nice beer hall with good dishes. Tho the best restaurants can be found on the countryside of course^^ Dishes I can recommend (depends on what you like):
Wiener Schnitzel, Spätzle, Semmelknödel, Kaiserschmarrn (dessert), Apfelstrudel and Wurstsalat.
If you like very fat and meaty food, you can also get Schweinshaxn (pig) and other stuff^^ But usually you come thru Germany easily with English.
