Germany is crisp and clean!!
by Carrasco
I visited Germany in 2002, I was actually in Ansbach and Illesheim, 2 small towns South of Frankfurt. I must say, Germany was beautiful. Very clean place. The airport was quiet, easy to understand the signs, logically built. The roads were awesome, I live in South MS, USA and the roads there suck. In Germany they were awesome, the Autobahn is great, nice roads, very quiet. I spent some time in Southern Germany mostly, I was there for 2 weeks. Most everyone spoke a little english.

Dom kirche - the Dome - is the highest church in town, and as I heard, it is the only church that did not harm from 1944-1945 bombardments. Unfortunately, it was on restauration when I was in Frankfurt - hope to see it in all its beauty when I will return. Photo is taken from Eisener Steg bridge.
VT meetings
by tini58de
As I already mentioned in my Introduction the reason for actually visiting a little of Frankfurt was an invitation to a VT meeting! We had so much fun!!! Apart from the pictures here in my Frankfurt travelogues, make sure to have a look at nemorino's fabulous VT meeting travelogue!
Hungerharke besides the A5
by chicabonita
Besides the highway A5 near exit "Zeppelinheim" is a monument which remembers the Berlin Airlift in 1948/49. During the cold war the Soviets blocked all ways to Berlin by land and water. To avoid that the west part of the city would also be taken over by the Soviets the Western Powers decided to supply Berlins inhabitants with the necessities of life by air. The monument showing eastwards symbolises the three air corridors to Berlin. In Berlin-Templehof you find the same monument, just showing westwards. The people called the airplanes "Candy Bomber".
I only see the monument by passing by. I don't know if you can really "visite" it.
Rhön
by MichaelFalk1969
The Rhön is a hilly area roughly 1 hour northeast of Frankfurt whith excellent hiking possibilities. A good base to explore the region would be the little town of Gersfeld. From there, you can easily reach the hiking tracks around the Red Moor and the Black Moor, the Open Air Museum in Fladenburg or the Wasserkuppe, the highest mountain of the area.
