With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Idar-Oberstein, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be German Gemstone Museum, Crag Church and Bosselstein Castle. Bad Sobernheim is another popular destination. It’s 25 miles away and offers a range of fun things to see and do. Disibodenberger Kapelle St. Marien, Hexamer Winery and Hunter of Kurpfalz Monument are just the start.
