Lahr, Germany (a.k.a calling all army brats)

Does anyone have any travel advice regarding Lahr, Germany?<BR>I want to include it in a trip I'm planning, for the sole reason that it is where I born, but I'm having a @#*&amp; of a time finding information about any hotels, transporation, etc. Can anybody help me? <BR> <BR>

Rufus: oops, I'm showing my ignorance here: didn't know there WAS more than one Lahr. The one I'm referring to is in the Black Forest region, just north of Freiburg im Breisgau, just south of Baden-Baden.<BR>sardog10: thank's for digging up those sites for me- they're a good start.

Agnes: The only reason I knew which Lahr was because you also mentioned army. I'm also a Canadian Army brat and was almost but not quite stationed there (posting was cancelled). My brother was posted there in the early 80's and I stayed for a couple of weeks. It's a beautiful area and I hope you have a wonderful trip. <BR><BR>Linda (currently in the Rhineland-Pfalz)

Thanks, Rufus, Linda <BR>My dad was posted in Lahr in the mid-seventies. I have no memories of the town as my parents moved back to Canada when I was two years old, but I've always wanted to see the place where I was born. It certainly does look like a beautiful area from the photos I've seen.

I was also an army brat in Germany--US Army in Bamberg from 1959-1961 when I was ages 12-14. Had always wanted to return, and finally did last June. It was better than I had remembered.
