Stayed at Schlosshotel Lisl - Bavarian Alps, Germany.

We were a little short on time, so just did the two closest castles. But we also went to Linderhof on the same day, and it was a pleasant trip which did not take too long.

Stayed at Ibis Zentrum - Duesseldorf, Germany.
|
We had a hard time finding the hotel. We must have drove around the Bahnhof for 60 minutes and commited five or six traffice violations. Luckily, we did not run into any trains.
I recommend the Irish Pub in the walk platz.

Stayed at NH Deutscher Kaiser - Munich, Germany.
|
Munich has good public transportation.
So there is little problem except that I couldn't get the subway and tram ticket.
The information as to traffic is written in only German. Therefore I couldn't but ask people who speak English individually.
Except for that, I was satisfied with touring...

Stayed at Steigenberger Airport Hotel - Frankfurt, Germany.

Part of our holiday included driving from Haarlem/Amsterdam to Trier, Germany. We stopped at many scenic places including the small, quaint village of Thorn, Netherlands, which is visited mostly by Dutch tourists and locals. Thorn, located about 45 minutes north of Maastricht, is a quiet picturesque little village with cobblestone paths arranged in beautiful mosaic patterns. Thorn is called the "Little White Town" because the most of the brick houses are painted white. The homes have meticulously tended fragrant flower gardens arranged in colorful artistic patterns that border cobblestone courtyards. A few small shops and a restaurant/hotel complete the village.
We walked along narrow cobblestone streets and paths to the center of the village where the Abbey Church of Thorn is located. There is a tiny cemetery in one corner of the churchyard. Founded in the 10th century by Count Ansfried, bishop of Utrecht, the Gothic-style church has an impressive Baroque altar. Beneath the altar is a Gothic crypt, which contains the mummified remains of two church cannons visible in their leaded, glass-topped coffins. An 18th century reliquary contains the forearm of St. Benedict.
Originally a convent, the Abbey became a secular order for wealthy unmarried women of proven noble ancestry. The aristocracy found it a haven for their unmarried daughters. This kind of religiously focused, but secular institution is called a "stift." The women owned property and lived luxuriously in the white houses tended by servants. The abbess who ran both the stift and the town lived in a small palace and ranked as a reigning monarch.
This unspoiled little village is about 1 km from the Belgian border and about 20 km from the German border. We found it a charming place to visit.
