With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Aschaffenburg, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Schoenbusch Park, f.a.n. Frankenstolz Arena and Pompejanum. Situated 18 miles away, Darmstadt is another popular tourist destination. If you stop by, don’t miss Messel Pit Fossil Site, Frankensteins Castle and Darmstadt Artists Colony.
