Bayreuth AND COBURG

 
On Wednesday, I drove to Bayreuth and then to Coburg. I found a waschsalon in Bayreuth. They actually did my laundry for me (although it did take several hours). Since I had to wait for the laundry to be finished, I decided to drive to Coburg.  This little city located on the border to the former East Germany apparently has not been on the tourist track. What a mistake!!  Coburg  - and the little town just before it (Untersiemau) - are true gems!!! Beautiful architecture!! I will put photos of both on the website and on Pinterest.  Yes, I now have a Pinterest account!!

 Bayreuth is a nice sleepy city (after the famous music festival the town goes into deep hibernation!!)… with apparently only one bank with a ‘no fee’ cash machine. Check out the buildings in the center of town and then go to Maximillian strasse to get some cash at Commerzbank. I could not find the bank and ended up going to the local Sparkasse (savings bank) and paid a 4,50€ fee!!

 In terms of provisioning, if you need some wine… or perhaps something to eat, check out the EDEKA just outside of Bayreuth, on the road to Coburg. It is great!! Nice selection of wine and cheeses.
 
 

The very little town of Untersiemau - just outside of Coburg. This is such a little town, there is absolutely nothing to do there except park your car and walk around for 5 or 10 minutes.

 









Coburg is a great place to have lunch or even stay overnight.
