Route No. 01
The Frankfurt Christmas Market Loop
Cologne, Ulm and Frankfurt as comfortable bases, with easy day trips to Stuttgart, Heidelberg and Mainz. One rail loop through western and southern Germany, planned so you unpack three times instead of six and still have room to linger.
Cologne · Ulm · Stuttgart · Frankfurt · Heidelberg · Mainz
