New to Oberursel? Then you might enjoy a guided tour around the old town (Altstadt), which is being offered on Saturday, 5th November, 2011.

The tour starts in front of the Vordertaunusmuseum at the Marktplatz at 2pm and costs €3 per person.

There is this little town called Scheinfeld, embedded between the more famous towns of Bamberg and Rothenburg.

Scheinfeld has something the other two might not have – a three-day guided beer tour (up to eight people) which includes plenty of Freibier, a carriage ride, tours of breweries and much other noteworthy information relating to barley brew.

At the end of the tour, you will get furnished with a “doctorate degree”, signed with the title of Dr. bierologis causa.

The Aischgründer Beer Route is about 50 km long and runs between the towns of Bad Windsheim and Uehlfeld. Along the tour, you will stop at seven different breweries and plenty of local guest-houses. There are also paths such as the Bierwanderweg (beer hiking path) and the Bierradweg (beer biking path).

The past Saturday, 28 August, I joined Mr. Kopp’s guided tour through the Camp King areal once more. With about 20 visitors in tow, we walked through Camp King through drizzling rain, sudden sun shine, and heavy showers.

Nevertheless, it was a good tour and I was glad to see more people showing up (in May 2010, there were only five visitors). The next one is scheduled for May 2011.
