With a documented history reaching back as early as 1015, this ancient trade-route will surely make your RV drive unforgettable.
This city’s trade of goods has been known and long documented for centuries, this helping push tourism for people who love a well-documented city and the past it holds. If sightseeing isn’t your thing, the nightlife that it offers will surely get your adrenaline going. However, if you’re not into the nightlife as well, maybe you’d be interested in reading and learning about the history it has had with being considered a pioneer in the classical literary movement. With many unique sights in the city center and on the outskirts, you can find abandoned buildings, military structures, beautiful homes, and just about anything you could ask for in the cool German weather.
