With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Rockenhausen, 20 miles away, has to offer. Animal Park Donnersberg, Museum Pachen and Rockenhausen Catholic Church alone make the drive out worth it. Mainz is another wonderful option. It’s 25 miles away and boasts a variety of fun things to see and do. Mainz Cathedral, Gutenberg Museum and Mewa Arena are just the start.
