Hi All! Thank you in advance for some advice (I will not be hurt if you tell me to change some plans) -- :)
Below is what I have planned so far:
9/9: Land in Dusseldorf 9AM - spend the day or so exploring
9/9: Either Car or Train to Cologne that night and spend the next full day and night in Cologne
9/11: Rent car and head for the Schönburg Castle in Oberwesel for 2 days and 3 nights (wine tour, etc. planned for this stay)
9/13: Check out of Castle and head to .... ______________________________ (This is where I need help. I think we want to skip by Frankfurt and visit somewhere else for 2 nights) I was thinking Heidelberg, Trier, Wurzberg, Nuremberg, Rothenberg, Luzemborg City, Bacharach, Augburg....I am OPEN to ANY suggestions..
9/14: ?
9/15: Stuttgart (should we spend more than one night here?) Drop off car
9/16: Head toward Munich for Ocktoberfest
9/19: Time to head back to the United States
CANT WAIT TO VISIT! Any tips or must-do's are totally welcome!
