We are trying to find an inexpensive place to stay in or very near Leiwen Germany. I have emailed 25 places and have only received 2 responses. Can you recommend a place to stay? I have the Rick Steve's Germany book but there are no lodging suggestions for Leiwen. Thanks.
Lori; We stayed for a week in a resort in the hills above Leiwen. Here is a link to the resort: http://www.landal.com/ We did it thourgh an exchange with our membership in RCI so I don't know how much it costs. We drove through Leiwen and the town is very small. I didn't see any obvious hotels, but there may be some B&B's. You could also check to see what is in Trittenheim. This is a town across the river from Leiwen. http://www.trittenheim.de/ We loved the week we spent there. We drove all up and down the Mosel and loved it all.
Have a great trip.
I'm very surprised there are 25 places in little Leiwen! If you're writing in English, it's very possible that owners only do German; also, the smaller, privately-owned establishments tend to be owned by older folks who may have an email address but simply don't use it and prefer the phone. I haven't stayed in Leiwen. I suggest you contact the tourist office. Someone there likely speaks/writes English and will be able to help you find what you're looking for.

Thanks I will try that. They sent me a booklet which is where I got the email addresses. They aren't all in Leiwen -but in the area. I'll keep trying-it's worth the effort when you find a great place to stay.
Lori, Have you tried Hotel Zur Post. Web page is as follows: http://www.hotel-zur-post-knirim.de It's about 15 Kilometers from Leiwen.
