Coma 1,766 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 This was the Rheinturm when it was little and dreaming of being like the Fernsehturm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get that from? The yellow thing in the water is for the Invictus Games. That international multi-sport event for injured, wounded or sick servicemen and women that we are hosting this year. And that skyscraper in the background is the Dreischeibenhaus which was actually built in the late 50's but still looks pretty modern to this day.

Coma 1,766 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I'd love to work Düsseldorf into my next visit for a meet up and see a match. Just not sure where else to go in western Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are in the Netherlands within 30-40 minutes from Düsseldorf. And there's also the Sauerland nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do Saarbrücken-Ensheim, it's even an International airport since it seves regularly lines to Palma, Antalya, Vienna, and - wait for it- Luxembourg! The last one is ridiculous, since an car travel to Luxembourg City lasts about an hour, and even the bus line that serves this route about 10 times a day takes only 1 and a half hour.. So this connection is absolutely environmentally sensible! Edited August 7, 2023 by Rucksackfranzose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd exchange Eifel for Hunsrück or German fairy tale route, Rheingau respectively. Of course a question of personal preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they could just catapult them there. No idea, still seem to remember to having read somewhen it was the 3rd most used airplane route from Saarbrücken Airport after the Berlin, and Hamburg ones. Can't get my head around so many people being that spoilt they prefer to travel this small distance by plane although the bus transfer is cheaper, more often daily and even faster, if you take the check-in and out time into account.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Shows the German efficiency that you never hear of German duds being found in Britain always the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
