Good to know:

To get a good picture, and to find your way later without a guide, you can bring a street map.
These are often available free or for a small fee at the reception of your accommodation.

If you have a special request, just ask us; where possible we will gladly make it happen.
Requests we often get include visiting a former family home, birthplace, cemetery or the homes of relatives (parents, grandparents), or specific points of interest related to your profession, hobby or interests.
