Travelogue
The partially paved or asphalted parking space for 20 campers is opposite the Kassel campsite. Due to the corona pandemic, the sanitary facilities at the campsite were not allowed to be used. In the high season, only the low season parking space price of € 9 / night plus € 0.50 per kWh for electricity was due. The parking space is relatively close to the center (15 minutes by bike) near a sports center (including the Kassel Huskies venue).

With around 202,000 inhabitants, Kassel is the center of northern Hesse and the third largest city in Hesse after Frankfurt am Main and Wiesbaden. Badly destroyed in World War II (1943), the city now has several sights in the city center (St. Martin's Church, Natural History Museum in the Ottoneum, Fridericianum). The orangery in the Karlsaue with the Karlsaue state park and Wilhelmshöhe Palace with the orangery, as well as the imposing Hercules and grandiose water features (from Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m., however, currently do not yet speak of the medieval tradition of the Hessian landgraves) because of the corona pandemic).

The small, family-run campsite is located on a former lock right on the Main in the municipality of Maintal just outside Frankfurt. Downtown Frankfurt can be easily reached by bus from Mainkur train station (20 minutes' walk from the campsite into town).
The pitches are spacious and partly shady under large trees, which can affect television reception. The sanitary facilities are very clean and in a very good condition. However, the cost of an overnight stay of 12 € / night for the motorhome, 8 € per adult / night, 3 € electricity / night is not exactly low.

With around 760,000 inhabitants, Frankfurt am Main is the largest city in Hesse and the center of the Frankfurt metropolitan area with 2.3 million inhabitants. The banking metropolis - once a dreamy half-timbered town - was almost completely destroyed in Allied bombing raids in World War II. It is thanks to the will of Frankfurt and clever political decisions that at least the old town with the cathedral, the Römerberg (including the seat of the town hall), the opera and the Paulskirche were completely rebuilt. Today, it offers an attractive contrast to the skyline of the high-rise banks, which is why the banking district is also fondly called Mainhattan by the Frankfurters. Tip: Before taking the city tour, be sure to take a city tour with one of the Hop On, Hop Off buses from the Paulskirche! Then a shopping spree in the Zeil with the shopping center "My Zeil".

The Reismobilpark for 120 motorhomes is located in the Trier-Euren district near the exhibition center, right on the banks of the Moselle. The parking space for motorhomes up to 7.5 m in length costs € 7.80 / night. In addition there are € 6.60 per adult / night and € 0.70 / kWh of electricity. In addition to complete supply and disposal, the place has very good sanitary facilities (showers: 1 € / 4 minutes) and a bread service.
The city center is very easy to reach via bike paths in about 15 minutes.

Trier, as a Roman foundation (Augusta Treverorum) and around 2,000 years old, is demonstrably the oldest city in Germany. Numerous Roman buildings such as the famous Porta Nigra, the Constantine basilica and the ruins of the imperial and barbarian baths tell of this in today's Rhineland-Palatinate city (approx. 111,000 inhabitants). The Chinese have put a memorial to the great thinker and philosopher Karl Marx in the old town and the city commemorates his work with a remarkable exhibition in the Karl Marx House. In addition, the city has a romantic and lovely old town with the cathedral and the Liebfrauenkirche, the main market, the St. Georgsbrunnen, the Palais Walderdorff. Located just outside the city, Monaise Castle is worth a visit.

Luxembourg is only about 45 minutes by train (the trains run every hour) from Trier and is therefore definitely worth a flying visit. With 120,000 inhabitants, the city is the administrative center of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (630,000 inhabitants). Alongside Brussels and Strasbourg, the city is the seat and meeting place of numerous European institutions. It is a 15-minute walk from the Luxembourg main station to the center of the lively upper town with the Grand Ducal castle, the Church of Our Lady (Notre Dame), the town hall and the Place d'Armes, popular with residents and tourists, and the Gëlle Fra ("Golden woman", National monument in honor of the Luxembourgers who died in both World Wars and the Korean War).

The parking space for approx. 20 campers is located on a campsite directly on the banks of the Moselle on the outskirts of the wine town of Erden on the Moselle with dense trees (some with limited TV reception). The ground is partly uneven and overgrown with grass or gravel. In contrast to the campsite, it is not possible to reserve the parking spaces in advance. In addition to complete supply and disposal, the place has sufficient washing and showering facilities, bread service (daily from 8:00 a.m. at the reception, no advance booking necessary!) And a small restaurant (11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.). Pitch, incl. 2 people: € 10.50 / night, electricity (flat rate): € 3 / night, showers: € 0.30 / minutes (with a chip card that is charged with € 5, the remaining amount will be deducted from the total price on departure) ).

We were able to explore both wine towns, Bernkastel-Kues-Kues (11 km from Erben) and Traben-Trarbach (15 km) by bike on the very well-developed and signposted Moselle cycle path, which leads directly past the parking space in Erden on the Moselle. It is not for nothing that Bernkastel-Kues-Kues is called the pearl of the Moselle, as the town of just 7,000 inhabitants in the valley of the Central Moselle has a large number of pretty half-timbered buildings (including the so-called pointed house). The city's most famous son, the medieval philosopher and universal scholar Nikolaus von Kues (his scholarly name was Cusanus), is omnipresent in the city (including birthplace, Catholic academy). As part of a small city tour (start at the harbor, duration: approx. 45 minutes, € 9 / adult) with a Bimmelguste, we were able to explore both districts of the twin city and the surrounding area. The city of Bernkastel-Kues has only been a dual city since 1905 (merger of the city of Bernkastel with the small wine-growing village of Kues). In addition to numerous half-timbered houses, the Protestant church in Kues, the Cusanus birth house and the town hall are particularly worth seeing. The Cusanus Abbey (originally a hospital) founded by Nikolaus von Kues in 1451 is still preserved and can also be visited (at least partially).

The small town on the Central Moselle, which has only 6,000 inhabitants, is known for the bridge tavern on the Moselle Bridge built in 1898, which connects the districts of Traben and Trarbach. In 1904 the formerly independent towns merged to form the city of Traben-Trarbach. Particularly worth seeing are the former post office and the Lorettahaus in the Traben district and of course the bridge gate with the bridge tavern. A special curiosity is the Buddha Museum, unique in Germany, in a former winery. The city's most famous son, the architect Bruno Möhring (one of the founders of Art Nouveau in Germany) has left his mark everywhere in the city (including the bridge gate, Buddha Museum, Hotel Bellevue). Traben-Trarbach is also famous for its famous vineyards, which deliver excellent white wines.

Small but nice parking space near the Rhine. Operators are very friendly and service-oriented. The spaces are quite generous for a parking space of this size and delimited by hedges. Shower and washing facilities would also be nice. Cost for one night, including electricity (flat rate up to 6 KWh / night): 10 €
Bingen city center can be reached in about 10 minutes by bike.

The 54 km long circular tour led us from the Bingen motorhome park to Ingelheim and there into the ruins of the Palatinate of the German kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, which had been built and then continuously expanded. The Kaiserpfalz itself with its surviving remains (Heidelsheimer Tor, Aula) is a unique area monument and simply a must for those interested in history. From there we went through the vineyards to Budenheim and from there to the Rheinhafen in Ingelsheim's Frei Weinheim district. The ferry took us to the other bank of the Rhine and then we drove to Rüdesheim on the well-developed Rhine cycle path R3. The first thing to do in the wine town of Rüdesheim was a walk through the magical city center and the only three meters wide Drosselgasse. There is a lovingly equipped wine bar next to the other. On a subsequent 45 minute drive with a Bimmelguste through Rüdesheim and the surrounding vineyards, we were able to enjoy the panorama over the Rhine and the Bingen opposite. Then we took the cable car up to the Niederwald monument, inaugurated in 1883 by Emperor Wilhelm II. The approximately 38 m high Niederwald monument with the 12.5 m high Germania is to commemorate the victory in the Franco-Prussian War and the (re) establishment of the German Empire. The Niederwalddenkmal has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002. From Rüsselsheim we then took the ferry from Rüdesheim to the opposite Bingen.

The parking space for eight campers is in front of a campsite right on the water and next to an outdoor pool. The graveled site has a large stock of trees on the edge (no TV reception!). Unfortunately, some of the power connections were broken, so that the choice of place was severely restricted. The infrastructure of the nearby campsite cannot be used. Entry and exit take place with a chip card. The payment for the parking space (€ 12.00 / night) and the electricity used (€ 0.50 / kWh) is made at the parking machine upon departure. Electricity and fresh water are on site, and disposal takes place via Holiday Clean (chemical toilet) and via floor inlet (gray water). Overall, okay for an overnight stay or a short trip to the beautiful little bishop's road.

The district town of the Central Hesse district of Limburg-Weilburg with its approx. 36,000 inhabitants is located on the Lahn and can be easily reached on foot from the parking space (approx. 10 minutes on foot). In the half-timbered town with a well-preserved or lovingly restored building substance, the Limburg Cathedral with its diocesan museum (headline "Protzbau" by the then bishop) and the numerous, sometimes strange-looking half-timbered houses are particularly worth seeing. Limburg with the well-developed and signposted Lahn Cycle Path is the station of the "Cycle Path of German Unity" leading from Koblenz to Vacha. The corresponding information and service point on the bike path, which leads directly past the parking space, is also exemplary.

The graveled place for approx. 20 campers is located in the industrial area of Strega-Ost, approx. 7 km from the city center of Eisenach. The parking space is operated by a very nice camper dealer and has a shower and toilet (unfortunately only two each plus a urinal for the men). The power connections have no CE connections, so appropriate adapters are required. Otherwise there is everything you need for a short trip and you also have a wonderful view of the Wartburg (especially after sunset a great sight!). The pitch costs € 13.00 per night including electricity, showers € 0.50 / 3 minutes.

We used the actually not planned stopover (planned stopovers in Fulda and Göttingen) for a visit to Eisenach and the Wartburg. We had visited both sights in the past, but these visits were already some years ago. We were all the more astonished at how the district town with its 42,000 inhabitants has developed in the years since our last visit. The lovingly renovated old town with the Georgenkirche, the former city palace (now tourist information), the town hall and the Luther and Bach houses are well worth a visit. From the Wartburg to be reached via the Wartburgallee (only something for e-bike riders or well-trained cyclists) you have a wonderful view over Eisenach and the fraternity monument. And of course not to be forgotten: the Wartburg, the epitome of German romanticism and the German pursuit of national unity. The castle, rebuilt in a romantic style in 1837 from a castle ruin (only the Pallas was still preserved), is now an international tourist magnet and offers interesting things for young and old (singing room, Luther room, Pirckheim study room, bedroom originally furnished by the then prince of Saxony-Weimar -Eisenach).

The gravel place with a covering layer of compacted crushed sand (be careful after heavy rain!) Without trees near the Soletherme Bad Harzburg offers space for 80 mobile. There is a well-equipped sanitary building on the square and its own restaurant, the "Hexenstübchen". Due to the nearby federal road and the Radau (the little foot is actually called that) it is a bit noisy. The parking space including shower costs € 13.30. Electricity costs 0.50 kWh (using a coin at the power connection). The city center can be easily reached on foot in about 10 minutes.

The traditional city of 22,000 inhabitants is centrally located on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains and is known for its wide range of tourism. Located below the Great Castle Hill, the city invites you to stroll through the extensive promenade with the well-worth seeing fountain of youth and a walk through the spa gardens. You can explore the Harzburg ruins on the Great Castle Hill by cable car. The plastic of the donkey rider in the spa gardens is a reminder of the numerous, especially female tourists who explored the castle hill with a mule or donkey. A visit to the "Little Wonderland" opposite the Sole-Therme is worthwhile for the little ones.

Kassel ist mit ca. 202.000 Einwohnern das Zentrum von Nordhessen und nach Frankfurt am Main und Wiesbaden die drittgrößte Stadt Hessens. Im 2. Weltkrieg (1943) schwer zerstört, verfügt die Stadt heute über einige Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Innenstadt (Martinskirche, Naturkundemuseum im Ottoneum, Fridericianum). Von der mittelalterlichen Tradition der hessischen Landgrafen künden heute noch die Orangerie in der Karlsaue mit dem Staatspark Karlsaue sowie Schloss Wilhelmshöhe mit Orangerie sowie dem imposanten Herkules und grandiosen Wasserspielen (jeweils Mittwoch, Freitag, Samstag und Sonntag um 14:30 Uhr, zur Zeit allerdings nicht wegen der Corona-Pandemie).
Frankfurt am Main ist ist mit ca. 760.000 Einwohnern die größte Stadt Hessens und Zentrum des Ballungsraums Frankfurt mit 2,3 Millionen Einwohnern. Die Bankenmetropole - einst ein verträumtes Fachwerkstädtchen - wurde bei alliierten Bombenangriffen im 2. Weltkrieg fast vollständig zerstört. Dem Aufbauwillen der Frankfurter und klugen politischen Entscheidungen ist es zu verdanken, dass zumindest die Altstadt mit dem Dom, dem Römerberg (u. a. Sitz des Rathauses), der Oper und der Paulskirche komplett wieder aufgebaut wurde. Sie bietet heute einen reizvollen Kontrast zur Skyline der Bankenhochhäuser, weshalb das Bankenviertel von den Frankfurtern auch liebevoll Mainhattan genannt wird. Tipp: Vor dem dem Stadtrundgang unbedingt eine Stadtrundfahrt mit einem der Hop On, Hop Off-Busse ab der Paulskirche machen! Anschließend einen Einkaufsbummel in der Zeil mit dem Einkaufszentrum "My Zeil".
Trier ist als römische Gründung (Augusta Treverorum) und einem Alter von etwa 2.000 Jahren nachweislich die älteste Stadt Deutschlands. Davon künden in der heutigen rheinland-pfälzischen Großstadt (ca. 111.000 Einwohner) zahlreiche Bauten der Römer, wie die berühmte Porta Nigra, die Konstantinbasilika und die Ruinen der Kaiser- und Barbarathermen. Dem großen Denker und Philosophen Karl Marx haben die Chinesen in der Altstadt ein Denkmal gesetzt und die Stadt gedenkt seinem Werk mit einer sehenswerten Ausstellung im Karl-Marx-Haus. Daneben besitzt die Stadt eine romantische und liebenswürdige Altstadt mit dem Dom und der Liebfrauenkirche, dem Hauptmarkt, dem St. Georgsbrunnen, dem Palais Walderdorff. Etwas außerhalb der Stadt gelegen ist das Schloss Monaise einen Besuch wert.
Luxemburg ist nur etwa 45 Bahnminuten (die Züge verkehren im Stundentakt) von Trier entfernt und schon von daher unbedingt eine Stippvisiete wert. Die Stadt ist mit 120.000 Einwohnern das administrative Zentrum des Großherzogtums Luxemburg (630.000 Einwohner).Die Stadt ist neben Brüssel und Straßburg Sitz und Tagungsort zahlreicher europäischer Institutionen. Vom Luxemburger Hauptbahnhof sind es zu Fuß etwa 15 Minuten in das Zentrum der quirligen Oberstadt mit dem großherzoglichen Schloss, der Liebfrauenkirche (Notre Dame) dem Rathaus und dem bei Einwohnern und Touristen beliebten Place d'Armes sowie der Gëlle Fra ("Goldene Frau", Nationaldenkmal zu Ehren der in beiden Weltkriegen und dem Koreakrieg gefallenen Luxemburgern).

Beide Weinstädte, Bernkastel-Kues-Kues (11 km von Erben entfernt) und Traben-Trarbach (15 km), haben wir mit Fahrrad auf dem sehr gut ausgebauten und ausgeschilderten Moselradweg erkunden können, der direkt am Stellplatz in erden an der Mosel vorbeiführt. Bernkastel-Kues-Kues wird nicht umsonst Perle der Mosel genannt, verfügt der nur etwa 7.000 Einwohner zählende Ort im Tal der Mittelmosel doch über eine Vielzahl hübscher Fachwerkbauten (u. a. das sogenannte Spitzhäuschen). Der berühmteste Sohn der Stadt, der mittelalterliche Philosoph und Universalgelehrte Nikolaus von Kues (sein Gelehrtenname war Cusanus) ist in der Stadt allgegenwärtig (u. a. Geburtshaus, Katholische Akademie). Im Rahmen einer kleinen Stadtrundfahrt (Beginn am Hafen, Dauer: ca. 45 Minuten, 9 €/Erw.) mit einer Bimmelguste konnten wir beide Ortsteile der Doppelstadt und die nähere Umgebung erkunden. Die Stadt Bernkastel-Kues ist erst seit 1905 Doppelstadt (Zusammenschluss der Stadt Bernkastel mit dem kleinen Winzerdorf Kues). Neben zahlreichen Fachwerkhäusern sind die ev. Kirche in Kues, das Cusanus-Geburtshaus und das Rathaus besonders sehenswert. Das von Nikolaus von Kues im Jahre 1451 begründete Cusanusstift (ursprünglich ein Hospital) ist heute noch erhalten und kann auch (zumindest teilweise) besichtigt werden.
Die nur 6.000 Einwohner zählende Kleinstadt an der Mittelmosel ist bekannt durch die Brückenschenke an der 1898 errichteten Moselbrücke, die die Ortsteile Traben und Trarbach verbindet. Im Jahre 1904 erfolgte der Zusammenschluss der vormals selbständigen Orte zur Stadt Traben-Trarbach. Besonders sehenswert sind das ehem. Postamt und das Lorettahaus im Stadtteil Traben und natürlich das Brückentor mit der Brückenschenke. Eine besondere Kuriosität ist das in Deutschland einmalige Buddha-Museum, in einem ehemaligen Weingut. Der berühmteste Sohn der Stadt, der Architekt Bruno Möhring (einer der Begründer des Jugendstil in Deutschland) hat in der Stadt überall seine Spuren hinterlassen (u. a. Brückentor, Buddha-Museum, Hotel Bellevue). Traben-Trarbach ist daneben durch seine berühmten Weinlagen, die vorzügliche Weißweine liefern berühmt.

Die 54 km lange Rundtour führte uns vom Wohnmobilpark Bingen zunächst nach Ingelheim und dort in die Ruinen der von Karl dem großen errichteten und dann stetig erweiterten Pfalz der deutschen Könige und Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches. Die Kaiserpfalz selbst ist mit ihren erhaltenen Überresten (Heidelsheimer Tor, Aula) ein einmaliges Flächendenkmal und für Geschichtsinteressierte einfach ein Muss. Von da ging's durch die Weinberge nach Budenheim und von dort zum Rheinhafen im Ingelsheimer Ortsteil Frei Weinheim. Die Fähre brachte uns ans andere Rheinufer und auf dem gut ausgebauten Rheinradweg R3 fuhren wir dann nach Rüdesheim. Im Weinstädtchen Rüdesheim stand als erstes ein Spaziergang durch die zauberhafte Innenstadt und die nur drei Meter breite Drosselgasse an. Dort reiht sich eine liebevoll ausgestattete Weinschänke an die andere. Bei einer sich anschließenden etwa 45 minütigen Fahrt mit einer Bimmelguste durch Rüdesheim und die umliegenden Weinberge konnte wir das Panorama über den Rhein und dem gegenüber liegenden Bingen genießen. Mit der Seilbahn ging's dann hinauf zum 1883 durch Kaiser Wilhelm II. eingeweihten Niederwalddenkmal. Das etwa 38 m hohe Niederwalddenkmal mit der 12,5 m hohen Germania soll an den Sieg im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg und die (Wieder)Errichtung des deutschen Kaiserreiches erinnern. Seit 2002 ist das Niederwalddenkmal Teil des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes Oberes Mittelrheintal. Von Rüsselsheim fuhren wir dann mit der Fähre von Rüdesheim zum gegenüberliegenden Bingen.

Die Kreisstadt des mittelhessischen Landkreises Limburg-Weilburg mit ihren ca. 36.000 Einwohner liegt an der Lahn und ist vom Stellplatz gut fußläufig zu erreichen (ca. 10 Gehminuten). In dem Fachwerkstädtchen mit einer gut erhaltenen bzw. liebevoll restaurierte Bausubstanz sind vor allem der Limburger Dom mit Diözesanmuseum (in die Schlagzeilen geratener "Protzbau" des daraufhin geschassten Bischofs) sowie die zahlreichen, teils kurios anmutenden Fachwerkhäuser sehenswert. Limburg mit dem gut ausgebauten und ausgeschilderten Lahn-Radweg ist Station des von Koblenz nach Vacha führenden "Radweges der Deutschen Einheit". Vorbildlich auch der entsprechende Informations- und Servicepunkt am Radweg, der direkt am Stellplatz vorbeiführt.

Den eigentlich nicht geplanten Zwischenstopp (geplant waren eigentlich Zwischenaufenthalte in Fulda und Göttingen) nutzten wir für einen Besuch von Eisenach und der Wartburg. Beide Sehenswürdigkeiten hatten wir zwar schon in der Vergangenheit besucht, aber diese Besuche lagen doch schon einige Jahre zurück. Umso mehr waren wir erstaunt, wie sich die Kreisstadt mit ihren 42.000 Einwohner in den Jahren seit unserem letzten Besuch entwickelt hat. Insbesondere die liebevoll sanierte Altstadt mit Georgenkirche, ehem. Stadtschloss (jetzt Touristeninformation), Rathaus sowie Luther- und Bachhaus ist einer Besuch wert. Von der über die Wartburgallee (nur etwas für e-Bike-Fahrer oder gut trainierte Radfahrer) zu erreichende Wartburg hat man einen herrlichen Ausblick über Eisenach und zum Burschenschaftsdenkmal. Und natürlich nicht zu vergessen: die Wartburg, Inbegriff der deutschen Romantik und des deutschen Strebens nach nationaler Einheit. Die 1837 im romantisierenden Stil aus einer Burgruine (nur der Pallas war noch erhalten) wieder aufgebaute Burg ist heute ein internationaler Touristenmagnet und bietet Interessantes für Jung und Alt (Sängersaal, Lutherstube, Pirckheimer Studierstube, im Original hergerichtetes Schlafzimmer des seinerzeitigen Fürsten von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach).

Die traditionsreiche 22.000 Einwohner-Stadt liegt zentral am Nordrand des Harzes und ist für ihr breites touristisches Angebot bekannt. Unterhalb des Großen Burgberges gelegen lädt die Stadt zum Bummeln durch die weitläufige Promenade mit dem sehenswerten Jungbrunnen und einen Spaziergang durch den Kurpark ein. Mit der Seilbahn kann man die auf dem Großen Burgberg gelegene Ruine der Harzburg erkunden. An die zahlreichen, vor allem weibliche Touristen, die den Burgberg mit Maultier oder Esel erkundeten erinnert heute die Plastik der Eselreiterin im Kurpark. Für die kleinen Leute lohnt sich ein Besuch im "Kleinen Märchenland" gegenüber der Sole-Therme.

Travelogue
The partially paved or asphalted parking space for 20 campers is opposite the Kassel campsite. Due to the corona pandemic, the sanitary facilities at the campsite were not allowed to be used. In the high season, only the low season parking space price of € 9 / night plus € 0.50 per kWh for electricity was due. The parking space is relatively close to the center (15 minutes by bike) near a sports center (including the Kassel Huskies venue).

With around 202,000 inhabitants, Kassel is the center of northern Hesse and the third largest city in Hesse after Frankfurt am Main and Wiesbaden. Badly destroyed in World War II (1943), the city now has several sights in the city center (St. Martin's Church, Natural History Museum in the Ottoneum, Fridericianum). The orangery in the Karlsaue with the Karlsaue state park and Wilhelmshöhe Palace with the orangery, as well as the imposing Hercules and grandiose water features (from Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m., however, currently do not yet speak of the medieval tradition of the Hessian landgraves) because of the corona pandemic).

The small, family-run campsite is located on a former lock right on the Main in the municipality of Maintal just outside Frankfurt. Downtown Frankfurt can be easily reached by bus from Mainkur train station (20 minutes' walk from the campsite into town).
The pitches are spacious and partly shady under large trees, which can affect television reception. The sanitary facilities are very clean and in a very good condition. However, the cost of an overnight stay of 12 € / night for the motorhome, 8 € per adult / night, 3 € electricity / night is not exactly low.

With around 760,000 inhabitants, Frankfurt am Main is the largest city in Hesse and the center of the Frankfurt metropolitan area with 2.3 million inhabitants. The banking metropolis - once a dreamy half-timbered town - was almost completely destroyed in Allied bombing raids in World War II. It is thanks to the will of Frankfurt and clever political decisions that at least the old town with the cathedral, the Römerberg (including the seat of the town hall), the opera and the Paulskirche were completely rebuilt. Today, it offers an attractive contrast to the skyline of the high-rise banks, which is why the banking district is also fondly called Mainhattan by the Frankfurters. Tip: Before taking the city tour, be sure to take a city tour with one of the Hop On, Hop Off buses from the Paulskirche! Then a shopping spree in the Zeil with the shopping center "My Zeil".

Trier, as a Roman foundation (Augusta Treverorum) and around 2,000 years old, is demonstrably the oldest city in Germany. Numerous Roman buildings such as the famous Porta Nigra, the Constantine basilica and the ruins of the imperial and barbarian baths tell of this in today's Rhineland-Palatinate city (approx. 111,000 inhabitants). The Chinese have put a memorial to the great thinker and philosopher Karl Marx in the old town and the city commemorates his work with a remarkable exhibition in the Karl Marx House. In addition, the city has a romantic and lovely old town with the cathedral and the Liebfrauenkirche, the main market, the St. Georgsbrunnen, the Palais Walderdorff. Located just outside the city, Monaise Castle is worth a visit.

Luxembourg is only about 45 minutes by train (the trains run every hour) from Trier and is therefore definitely worth a flying visit. With 120,000 inhabitants, the city is the administrative center of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (630,000 inhabitants). Alongside Brussels and Strasbourg, the city is the seat and meeting place of numerous European institutions. It is a 15-minute walk from the Luxembourg main station to the center of the lively upper town with the Grand Ducal castle, the Church of Our Lady (Notre Dame), the town hall and the Place d'Armes, popular with residents and tourists, and the Gëlle Fra ("Golden woman", National monument in honor of the Luxembourgers who died in both World Wars and the Korean War).

The parking space for approx. 20 campers is located on a campsite directly on the banks of the Moselle on the outskirts of the wine town of Erden on the Moselle with dense trees (some with limited TV reception). The ground is partly uneven and overgrown with grass or gravel. In contrast to the campsite, it is not possible to reserve the parking spaces in advance. In addition to complete supply and disposal, the place has sufficient washing and showering facilities, bread service (daily from 8:00 a.m. at the reception, no advance booking necessary!) And a small restaurant (11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.). Pitch, incl. 2 people: € 10.50 / night, electricity (flat rate): € 3 / night, showers: € 0.30 / minutes (with a chip card that is charged with € 5, the remaining amount will be deducted from the total price on departure) ).

We were able to explore both wine towns, Bernkastel-Kues-Kues (11 km from Erben) and Traben-Trarbach (15 km) by bike on the very well-developed and signposted Moselle cycle path, which leads directly past the parking space in Erden on the Moselle. It is not for nothing that Bernkastel-Kues-Kues is called the pearl of the Moselle, as the town of just 7,000 inhabitants in the valley of the Central Moselle has a large number of pretty half-timbered buildings (including the so-called pointed house). The city's most famous son, the medieval philosopher and universal scholar Nikolaus von Kues (his scholarly name was Cusanus), is omnipresent in the city (including birthplace, Catholic academy). As part of a small city tour (start at the harbor, duration: approx. 45 minutes, € 9 / adult) with a Bimmelguste, we were able to explore both districts of the twin city and the surrounding area. The city of Bernkastel-Kues has only been a dual city since 1905 (merger of the city of Bernkastel with the small wine-growing village of Kues). In addition to numerous half-timbered houses, the Protestant church in Kues, the Cusanus birth house and the town hall are particularly worth seeing. The Cusanus Abbey (originally a hospital) founded by Nikolaus von Kues in 1451 is still preserved and can also be visited (at least partially).

The small town on the Central Moselle, which has only 6,000 inhabitants, is known for the bridge tavern on the Moselle Bridge built in 1898, which connects the districts of Traben and Trarbach. In 1904 the formerly independent towns merged to form the city of Traben-Trarbach. Particularly worth seeing are the former post office and the Lorettahaus in the Traben district and of course the bridge gate with the bridge tavern. A special curiosity is the Buddha Museum, unique in Germany, in a former winery. The city's most famous son, the architect Bruno Möhring (one of the founders of Art Nouveau in Germany) has left his mark everywhere in the city (including the bridge gate, Buddha Museum, Hotel Bellevue). Traben-Trarbach is also famous for its famous vineyards, which deliver excellent white wines.

Small but nice parking space near the Rhine. Operators are very friendly and service-oriented. The spaces are quite generous for a parking space of this size and delimited by hedges. Shower and washing facilities would also be nice. Cost for one night, including electricity (flat rate up to 6 KWh / night): 10 €
Bingen city center can be reached in about 10 minutes by bike.

The 54 km long circular tour led us from the Bingen motorhome park to Ingelheim and there into the ruins of the Palatinate of the German kings and emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, which had been built and then continuously expanded. The Kaiserpfalz itself with its surviving remains (Heidelsheimer Tor, Aula) is a unique area monument and simply a must for those interested in history. From there we went through the vineyards to Budenheim and from there to the Rheinhafen in Ingelsheim's Frei Weinheim district. The ferry took us to the other bank of the Rhine and then we drove to Rüdesheim on the well-developed Rhine cycle path R3. The first thing to do in the wine town of Rüdesheim was a walk through the magical city center and the only three meters wide Drosselgasse. There is a lovingly equipped wine bar next to the other. On a subsequent 45 minute drive with a Bimmelguste through Rüdesheim and the surrounding vineyards, we were able to enjoy the panorama over the Rhine and the Bingen opposite. Then we took the cable car up to the Niederwald monument, inaugurated in 1883 by Emperor Wilhelm II. The approximately 38 m high Niederwald monument with the 12.5 m high Germania is to commemorate the victory in the Franco-Prussian War and the (re) establishment of the German Empire. The Niederwalddenkmal has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002. From Rüsselsheim we then took the ferry from Rüdesheim to the opposite Bingen.

The parking space for eight campers is in front of a campsite right on the water and next to an outdoor pool. The graveled site has a large stock of trees on the edge (no TV reception!). Unfortunately, some of the power connections were broken, so that the choice of place was severely restricted. The infrastructure of the nearby campsite cannot be used. Entry and exit take place with a chip card. The payment for the parking space (€ 12.00 / night) and the electricity used (€ 0.50 / kWh) is made at the parking machine upon departure. Electricity and fresh water are on site, and disposal takes place via Holiday Clean (chemical toilet) and via floor inlet (gray water). Overall, okay for an overnight stay or a short trip to the beautiful little bishop's road.

In the half-timbered town with a well-preserved or lovingly restored building substance, the Limburg Cathedral with its diocesan museum (headline "Protzbau" by the then bishop) and the numerous, sometimes strange-looking half-timbered houses are particularly worth seeing. Limburg with the well-developed and signposted Lahn Cycle Path is the station of the "Cycle Path of German Unity" leading from Koblenz to Vacha. The corresponding information and service point on the bike path, which leads directly past the parking space, is also exemplary.

We used the actually not planned stopover (planned stopovers in Fulda and Göttingen) for a visit to Eisenach and the Wartburg. We had visited both sights in the past, but these visits were already some years ago. We were all the more astonished at how the district town with its 42,000 inhabitants has developed in the years since our last visit. The lovingly renovated old town with the Georgenkirche, the former city palace (now tourist information), the town hall and the Luther and Bach houses are well worth a visit. From the Wartburg to be reached via the Wartburgallee (only something for e-bike riders or well-trained cyclists) you have a wonderful view over Eisenach and the fraternity monument. And of course not to be forgotten: the Wartburg, the epitome of German romanticism and the German pursuit of national unity. The castle, rebuilt in a romantic style in 1837 from a castle ruin (only the Pallas was still preserved), is now an international tourist magnet and offers interesting things for young and old (singing room, Luther room, Pirckheim study room, bedroom originally furnished by the then prince of Saxony-Weimar -Eisenach).

The gravel place with a covering layer of compacted crushed sand (be careful after heavy rain!) Without trees near the Soletherme Bad Harzburg offers space for 80 mobile. There is a well-equipped sanitary building on the square and its own restaurant, the "Hexenstübchen". Due to the nearby federal road and the Radau (the little foot is actually called that) it is a bit noisy. The parking space including shower costs € 13.30. Electricity costs 0.50 kWh (using a coin at the power connection). The city center can be easily reached on foot in about 10 minutes.

Electricity costs 0.50 kWh (using a coin at the power connection). The city center can be easily reached on foot in about 10 minutes.
Rating 4 out of 5 stars
The traditional city of 22,000 inhabitants is centrally located on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains and is known for its wide range of tourism. Located below the Great Castle Hill, the city invites you to stroll through the extensive promenade with the well-worth seeing fountain of youth and a walk through the spa gardens. You can explore the Harzburg ruins on the Great Castle Hill by cable car. The plastic of the donkey rider in the spa gardens is a reminder of the numerous, especially female tourists who explored the castle hill with a mule or donkey. A visit to the "Little Wonderland" opposite the Sole-Therme is worthwhile for the little ones.
