Wurzburg..a real sleeper

We were flying out of Frankfurt and took Rick's advice and stayed in Wurzburg, then trained to the airport. After a month in Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg, Octoberfest in Munich, and German Alps, Wurzburg was a very pleasant surprise. the Residence, the churches, the castle, and, especially the bridge, were more than we had expected. We were sobered by the Wurzburg model of the bombing located in the Rathaus. A sunny afternoon sipping a nice glass of white wine on the bridge was scenic and relaxing at the same time. We hiked up to the castle and were rewarded with an extraordinary view of city, river and hilly vineyards. We went to dinner at Burger Spital to help the foundation dedicated to Wurzburg's seniors and were rewarded with the best meal, hands down, that we had had in four weeks! If you are going to Rothenburg, or flying in or out of Frankfurt, don't miss Wurzburg, better yet make it your jumping off point for a couple of days, you'll be surprised. Hank, Novato
