It's a trip you'll never forget. Our Partner City Muenchberg, Germany, will once again roll out the red carpet for Jefferson City visitors in September. Call Colleen Taylor at Midwest Travel 635-3995 for pricing and the exact schedule and itinerary, but here's a summary.
We'll depart September 12 and arrive in Berlin. Mayor Thomas Fein has already scheduled a private tour of the Bundestag (State House) and a reception at the Bavarian Embassy. We will spend two days seeing the sights in Berlin and then travel south to Bavaria, spending a night in Dresden. Then we'll enjoy four days in our partner city, a small town of 12,000. It's the week of their Stadfest -- like our sidewalk sale days. We'll take side trips to the beautiful countryside and neighboring historical and cultural sites.
Then we'll take the Romantic Road through southern Germany and visit Rothenberg ("the Walled City") and depart from Munich on September 20.
Some of the folks who made the trip four years ago are coming along, but there is room for new friends who want to take advantage of this unique way to see Germany.
