With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Homburg, 16 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Europas Rosengarten, Homburg Castle Ruins and Roman Museum. Located 20 miles away, Idar-Oberstein is another popular tourist destination. If you stop by, be sure to check out German Gemstone Museum, Crag Church and Bosselstein Castle.
