Dear 50Mikea 50, Your idea after landing in Frankfurt and come directly to Heidelberg is abolutely right. With a fast motorway (A5) you are in just under one hour in Heidelberg, measured by international standards, Heidelberg is an international airport city. The only air traffic we have here are birds flying from and to the near woods and vineyards surrounding... More

Dear Gggrl, What a valuable in depth report from you about your staying experience with us!. Thank you very very much.
