"A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
We had left some days to cruise, so we left Frankfurt yesterday morning.
We travelled B8 (northwest) to the Westerwald . Ulrike asked to visit Dernbach im Weserwald for a Fotostop at the Junkjard of the Ludolfs. They (4 brothers) are famous over here as they and their adventures are in television frequently. |

Nobody home, so we headed west....
Incredible hot so we had gas bubbles in the fuel and lots of stops in great countryside. |

Re: "A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
due to heat, tiny roads and lots of curves, we managed to go about
16o miles yesterday to Burg (Mosel ), where we found a nice Hotel with a closed garage for our "A". Today we started late and travelled towards Berncastel-Kues, where we left the river an turned north |

Re: "A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
Today there was heat and rain, we had a flat tire due to a valve failure. Than
the kill-switch collapsed parttime (good one - part time failure once driving, ok once parked) . Than the spare tire got punctured (wow - 3 years without tire-probs and than 2 tire-probs on one day....). Totally worn we reached Bergheim (just 130 miles today) Tomorrow, we will go to Schloß Dyck in Jüchen , where there is a big 3 day old-car-meeting. We will be there just tomorrow and than travel west. I will update, once i have Net-access Greetings from germany-country-side Christoph |

Re: "A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
Christoph,
Thank you for sharing. You drove trough some of my old "stomping grounds". I lived in Ulmen (in the Eifel Mountains on Autobahn 5 halfway between Koblenz and Trier) for 39 months and visited Cochem often. I miss driving down the Mosel and seeing sites like Cochem Castle. Ulmen is just a few kilometers from the Nurburgring and I went to the "Old Timer" races there. The wine fests along the Mosel are great! Gute Reise! Ed |

Christoff,
Great pics! Except for the castle, looks much like you might be touring Purdy Swoft's area in Alabama, or my old home area in Oklahoma! In Oklahoma, if you can find the correct "woods" road, you can stop for a "Moonshine Break." Bill W.

Re: "A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
Hallo Christoph,
Wow, what a fun tour. It looks like you all drove right by our former house in Boden (near Montabaur) in the Westerwald.....too cool! Yup, reminds me of the tours we used to drive through out the Westerwald. It sure is a nice region to drive through with lots of small roads and dorfs. Your photo of your Navi was a bit off however, I can only see her feet in the photo! MfG, Brad now in Maryland |

Re: "A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
Christoph,
What great photographs!! My family came from Schwaigern, between Heilbron and Eppingen, in the 1840's. Have visited there and found it to be very beautiful. Perhaps your Model A travels can take you there at some point. The Neckar River is especially gorgeous. Martin Mindling 1928 Phaeton, A11739. |

Wonderful story and photos. I lived in Bitburg in 1968-69, and traveled some of the roads you did on your trip. I had a 57 VW, but often took the train.

Actually it was, that we couldnt find a hotel in Gent area for 4 hours.
Dont you ever try We were unsecure wheather we should rent a room in those red-lighted-houses you will find there about every mile... Best thing is, that in this region you order a coffee and will get some egg liquer with it |

(for example) built a Ford Quadricycle replica. Unfortunately he wasnt home . Due to some sad circumstances, we are one day ahead of our plans and knew that he wouldnt be arround.... Even so it it was nice to be at his place. ( Ja - this is a 28 Pheaton under this tent...) Last edited by Christoph; 08-06-2012 at 02:36 PM. |

Great posts Cristoph, I lived in Frankfurt back in the early 70's and your posts sure does bring back memories. I remember seeing a few Model As back then. Thank you.

Re: "A" Summer-Cruise from Frankfurt to...
ok - dear friends.
Today was day 7 (and last day) of our summer hollidays. Starting in Würselen (Aachen) and leading us to our home at "Frankfurter Berg" which is north part of Frankfurt. Hey Midget - most US-Boys were located in this area of Frankfurt (Elvis was in Friedberg which is 15 Miles away) However- we had another 280km of driving through germany and our "Awesome-A" did great again..... |

Suddenly there is a great view on Rhein Main and we realise, that we did
travel 1922 km within 7 days and did 5 european-countries. Wow Our "Awesome-A" did GREAT..... We love this car |
