Where to buy in Germany/Netherlands?

I am having trouble finding places to buy good quality optics (I am currently looking for a new Leica or Zeiss telescope and tripod).

Major centres near me:
- Venlo and Roermond, Netherlands
- Duesseldorf and Cologne, Germany (although traffic is rather awkward and lugging a brand new scope/tripod on the train seems equally awkward)
- Rhur Valley, Germany is also doable, but a bit further away

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Can anyone recommend a mail-order place (in Western Europe) then?

Hi Jonathan,

I have only done some price comparisons (never ordered anything), and it looks like the Dutch mail-order stores have a good selection and are probably the least expensive in the continental Europe. See eg.
