Some favorite places in Germany

When traveling to Germany one of my favorite places to visit is Wetzlar, which is located in central Hesse. It features an amazingly well-preserved and restored Old Town (Altstadt), with historic plazas, a 13th century Cathedral (Dom) and scores of half-timbered houses. When staying in Wetzlar (Hesse, Germany) a definite must is biking, roller blading or just walking the many trails along the Lahn river. The scenery is beautiful and serene with meadows and wildlife (ducks and other birds) along the way. Another way to explore this area is by canoe. It is not that difficult to find a reasonable rental provider if needed for bikes or canoe. One tour we like to recommend is going towards Dorlar (to the east) and then continue all the way on that trail. Next village is Dutenhofen. There you can stop at the restaurant Zum Anker for lunch, which is located at a small lake (Heuchelheimer See.) They have nice outdoor seeing.
This is a good restaurant we recommend there:

Special Travel Tip:
There is a small road just for bikes along the Lahn river (also good for hiking.) You can access them from the southern part of Waldgirmes. Just drive towards the local public swimming pool (Geraberger Platz 1) - there is also a parking lot if you need to park your car. From there there are small roads that lead towards the Lahn river. You can go either way towards Dorlar (next village to the east), or Wetzlar (to the west.) This is an example of what you can do in the Wetzlar area while staying in Germany. On the Live Like a German site we collected many more Germany travel guides like this one - many of them written by local residents or Germany enthusiasts. They provide special insider travel tips which you can use during you Germany vacation.
