Another nice page about a worthwhile destination in Germany. I have just returned from Marburg, but only spent the afternoon there on business and came right back on the train. So I didn't see very much this time. -- Greetings from Frankfurt.

A beautiful looking town with a very picturesque river running through it! Sounds great, as does a relaxing meal & a cold beer by the Square!
