Howdy folks,

It looks like a buddy and I will be at Jetpower one day early this year with some time to kill. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on local attractions to take in etc.

Last year we saw that the Nuerburgring is quite close by so go kart racing or a turn in the ring taxi is on the list, however I was hoping to have a few more ideas at hand.. Jet plane museums or flight simulators etc ??

cheers,
Geoff.

just good old fashioned eating and drinking

Go to http://www.ahrtal.de/

The old town is amazing

Thanks guys, found a couple of things to add to the list of possibilities:

Michael Schumacher Kart centre:

Nuremburg ring go karts:

Paintball:

I also found a couple of model shops around Bonn / Cologne, however as there are a heap of model shops at JP, it kind of doesn't make sense to go looking for more..

We have done each in a day from Bad Neuwhar. Sinsheim you need to get up early, its a fair schlepp. L+P Junior is a couple of hours south. Lots of Soviet Iron Age stuff.
Worth the trip.

Eat GREAT Bratwurst and drink "REAL" Beer

That is unavoidable. I don't really like to but one has to make the effort, purely in the interst of diplomatic relations
