Already know about the German weapons Qual and the Vierdaagse nijmegen. Looking for other cool things to do. Thanks!

Man...that list is endless. There are TONS of places of historical significance to see. The city of Trier for example. There are still Roman ruins there. The Frankenstein family has like 5 castles to visit. There is Oktoberfest. There is Wine Fest. The Mosel River region is beautiful. Soooooo so much to do.

I'd been supposed to have gone there at one point, though I'd switched out...I often wish I'd had the chance to have seen it, a cousin of my Mom had been Army armor stationed there many yrs ago, I recall....

When I was there I went on the NATO Sgt's March. Had a great time.

Volks Marches? 1976?, a Riffed CPT, considered an untouchable due to some action in Nam, by his peers in the Bn, told me of going on a folk march of some sort.
