We will be traveling to northern Bavaria from Dec 22- Jan4 and are looking for suggestions on day trips. We will be visiting my son who will be living in Selb, Germany on the Czech border, just northeast of Bayreuth. We will be flying into Nuremburg and staying there for a couple of days to do the Christmas Market (also heard the Regensburg market was worth the trip) What other day trips are worth the while? Should we base ourselves out of Nuremburg or Bayreuth? We like the small town history and architecture. Should we rent a car or use the train? Anybody been to Bayreuth, Coburg, Erfurt? This is our third trip to Germany, but the first in winter , over major holidays and in this section of the country. Can you find out the train schedule for the holidays?
Thanks, Dan
