View Rally Point

 

[B.Kuehn]

I am coming straight from Korsika to Otto… But will travel back with you on sunday

 

[El-Dracho]

Cool idea to start a joint journey to the Rally Point. @XC70_OVERLANDER Thanks for setting up the RP for this. Maybe you guys from the north of Germany could pickup @Bengt N when he leaves the ferry and is heading towards OTTO?

I guess we have also some members from the mid/ south where it might make sennse to travel in convoy. @NotGumby, @MazeVX @Charlie2604 , @Moritz Jung , what about you guys?

I will be in the area the week before already, but for the return trip we can make a convoy like last year or so if you like.

Good idea.
I'd be down for driving there and back in a convoy.

Hi Bengt,

West of Uslar you have the river Weser. Very scenic area. Also the area a bit northwest of Uslar is very nice. It is called Teutoburg forest. Check it out. Scenic landscapes, a bit hilly and some history to see there. For example the city of Detmold with the old castle and the Hermann Monument nearby which was built in the 19th century to commemorate the Cheruscan commander Arminius and his victory over Rome in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. There are also some breweries there, e.g. the Strate Brewery in Detmold or the Rheder Brewery near Brakel - as I know that you are interested in brewing.

How much time do you have there in the area? I grew up not far from there and can recommend you a lot there. What interests you the most? More cities or nature?

If you come from the area around Uslar just follow the side roads (avoid highways in the navi), then you will come pretty much through the former German-German border area on the way to the expo. This is also very interesting. There is for example the Grenzland Museum in Eichsfeld about the german german border.

@XC70_OVERLANDER Thore, what would be a good meeting point on your way to meetup with Bengt?


Cheers,
Bjoern

Hi, everyone. We are arriving on friday. The route goes via Mannheim, Frankfurt and also Eisenach.

Hi, everyone. We are arriving on friday. The route goes via Mannheim, Frankfurt and also Eisenach.

Then you are going on A5 and A4 same way as we do but we are starting in Gießen

I'm going the same way but I'm starting on A45 near Aschaffenburg.
I could join you in Gießen.

 

[MazeVX]

Yes or what would probably be easier on a parking or Raststätte on the A5 because over here there's nothing on the autobahn, let me check that and I'll edit the post in a few minutes...

Edit: check Raststätte Reinhardshain Süd, that would be ideal.

Yes, that's perfect.
I probably won't get the Friday off, so I will start in the afternoon.

 

[El-Dracho]

Wow, I see we have two convoys then, one from the south and one from the north. Cool.

@NotGumby Rick, what about you, would the convoy from Rhine Main also be an option for you?

 

[Charlie2604]

We don't leave before 4 p.m. I think that might be too late for most.

Hey Björn- Since I’m working that Friday, I’ll be heading over from Wiesbaden between 15-16:00.

Hi Mathias,
do you already know when you will start?
I think I can make it between 16:30 and 17:00 to Raststätte Reinhardshein Süd.
