Mariajoy Says: Bad Salzig is a spa town - I have been unable to find out much info about it's history in English but people seem to still come here to visit the Kurhaus/Kurpark (spa house/gardens).
Mariajoy Says: There are a couple of places in Bad Salzig that sell stamps. I bought mine here at the post office. They are 45c for cards sent within Europe and the UK and if you ask for *Briefmarken mit schoenes Bildern* or *Sondermarken* you get ones with nice picures on.This is getting...
Mariajoy Says: This isn't really a things to do tip but if you are wandering and feeling peckish then it's definitely worth poppin in here!They do fabulous rolls for a couple of euro - and they will fill them with whatever you fancy there and then! They also do various cakes and pastries...
Go to the Tourist Information Office
Mariajoy Says: It's just next door to the fire station. We went on a Friday morning and picked up a couple of brochures.
Mariajoy Says: Bad Salzig is quite hilly so be prepared. There are some lovely buildings including the Catholic church.
Mariajoy Says: There's not a great deal to do in Bad Salzig. The Eiscafe opens around 11ish and is a pleasant way to while away half an hour chatting with friends and colleagues!There's a good choice of icecream and it's delicious! The tea is ok too in that *hot water -and...

Hotel Zur Alte Post: Distant Goat bells in the Rheinland
Mariajoy Says: Our hotel was based in two locations in the same street of Bad Salzig. We slept in one part and had to cross the street in the mornings and evenings for our meals. The hotel is run by the Family Beck and they were very helpful and accomodating. Vegans and Vegetarians are...
Park Hotel: We didn't stay here but......
Mariajoy Says: It looked gorgeous... and very popular! The terrace was open to non-residents for coffee/tea etc after 11am. Right by the Kurpark
Franzis' Restaurant: The opposition
Mariajoy Says: Almost directly across the road from the BierGarten is Franzis' restaurant. It looked lovely all lit up in the evening and even though the locals were really friendly we chose the BierGarten. It looked a little smarter than the BierGarten so you might want to make the...
BierGartenPub: Ein Glas Weiss Wein Bitte!
Mariajoy Says: Lovely Bier garden in Bad Salzig. Friendly locals and nice publican. On a warm evening when you have had a long day exploring this beautiful part of Germany, what could be better than a glass of chilled Rhein wine, with good company? Oh some might say a BIG glass of...
Helpfulness
There are hundreds of trains going through Bad Salzig daily and especially at night or so it seems.
So our boss and tour organiser gives us a couple of hours off. *Go and have a look at Boppard* she says *Take the train*. Not needing to be told twice we set off.
The station is quaint and very small and un-manned. It was raining and there were no other passengers waiting. We JUST missed a train.... but that's ok... there's hundreds...... usually. We eventually worked out the ticket machine and paid our 1.35 Euro for the one stop to Boppard (it only takes a minute or two to travel the short distance to the next town).
We waited and waited and even asked a passerby (locals use the underpass to get across the railway line). *Yes* she said... this is where you get the train to Boppard. We waited some more. Then after checking the timetable... found that the next train to Boppard was another 45 mins!!!! Our boss was expecting us back for lunch..... We never did get there by train :((
How do we get a ticket refund in in un-manned station???

Mariajoy Says: I was amazed that these cigarette machines were everywhere in this tiny town. EVERY street had one and the main street had at least two. Depending on what machine you went to, a packet of ciggies cost 3.50-4 Euro. These machines on the street are a thing of the past in the...
Putting the *Bad* in Bad Salzig
Mariajoy Says: Bad Salzig is a spa town. Here are the cool refreshing/healing/cleansing spa waters. Don't you feel better just looking at it?? :)) People pay a fortune to stay at the hotel here.
Water water everywhere - but a glass of it is 1E!!
Mariajoy Says: Our hotelier charges 1euro for a glass of tap water. I have no idea if this normal practise in German restaurants/hotels but it surprised some in our group.Have something else instead - like tea. At least you know they have had to heat the water up first!
Mariajoy Says: Our lovely hotel was situated VERY close to the railway line which runs along the banks of the Rhein. The lines also run parallel on the opposite bank and the sound carries quite clearly. This was quite a problem at night because the trains seem to be even more frequent in...
