German Town - Other suggestion
 

Will be in Germany again this summer and looking for a new place to explore within 2 hours (car)of Frankfurt. Our favorite German town is Rothenburg and would like to discover another town similar if possible. Will have 2 days in the schedule for this piece. <BR><BR>Been to Heidelberg, Trier, Fussen, Munich, St Goar, Rudeshim, Oberwessel.<BR><BR>Thanks.....

Oberkirch and the entire valley leading to Bad Peterstal, Baiersbronn, Tonbach.<BR><BR>Or if you want a little biggere place, with more sophistication, at the expense of a little less charm, Baden-Baden.<BR><BR>Another great place is Landshut - - but it's more than 2 hours from Frankfurt.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

You might have missed Cochem on the Mosel, midway between Trier and Koblenz, a charming town of cobbles and half-timbered houses that does get busy in summer but isn't nearly as overrun by international tourists as Rothenburg. Here's an aerial view of the town and castle:<BR><BR>www.mosel-reisefuehrer.de/CochemerSesselbahn/default.html#Anchor-Le-19653<BR><BR>Monschau, a ways to the north of Cochem, is probably closer to three hours away but is also unbelieveably picturesque. Go to www.monschau.de/touristik and click on "Bildergalerie" on the left for some photos. It too has many summertime visitors, mostly German.<BR><BR>

Any of the small villlages along the Mosel.

Staufen is pretty nice and is popular with the germans.<BR><BR>It's just outside of Freiburg.

Steve,<BR><BR>Bacharach, just down the Rhine is very pleasant. Lot's of history. Check out their Website, it is quite extensive.<BR><BR>Greg<BR>

Wurzburg has an interesting castle, a beautiful palace and some nice baroque architecture.
