Germany -- Wetzlar, Day 1

I just returned from a 10-day trip to Germany so there will be a few posts to cover it all.

Our first stop was Wetzlar, a small city about 45 minutes outside of Frankfurt.

A very easy drive from the airport, though I have to warn anyone who decides to rent a car that there are no North, South, East and West markers on the highway signs. You choose your direction based on a fairly long list of towns that are in a particular direction. I would highly recommend a GPS if you're traveling alone or someone who can ready really, really fast if you've got to decide between a driver and a navigator.

We arrived after an overnight flight and managed not to get lost until we were very close to the hotel. Luckily, there were so many nice people in Wetzlar that were happy to help us.


We stayed at:

Hotel Buergerhof (right)

Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 20

35578 Wetzlar


That night we were treated to a lovely dinner in the hotel restaurant. The soup was amazing, the pork medallions were delicious and the dessert was the perfect ending.

Highly recommended for the restaurant. It was a nice hotel, overall, and I would stay there again.
