Best Stop between Lubeck and Rothenburg
 

Hello Everyone, I have a night planned in Lubeck and 2 days later a night booked in Rothenburg. My ? is..in August what would be the most interesting stop inbetween the two and a nice place to stay? Thanks for any input.

Train or car?

What are your interests?

Sorry, yes we are driving and we like cultural sites, beer and wine and walking.

It is about a 6 hour drive - mostly on the Autobahn (A7). Possible stops along the way starting from Hamburg are Celle, Hannover, Hildesheim, Gottingen, Kassel and Wurzburg. My preferences would be Celle or Hildesheim, but I like smaller towns rather than cities. Check out each one on the net - all are worthy of a stop over. Have a nice trip!

If you like beer, then Bamberg would be a real treat.

It also has a lovely Altstadt on the Regnitz River--never damaged during the war--and it is still a part of Bamberg's everyday commercial life; unlike Rothenburg which is a tourist preserve. A very attractive tourist preserve, but a tourist preserve nonetheless.
