One of the first questions that people ask when they come to visit, is "What
kind of interesting places are there to visit in the Bondorf area?". So
we’ve started writing down some of our more enjoyable trips in the area
and publishing them as touring guides. The index below represents our
current repository of local tour guides.
The first two entries aren’t really tours, but are instead information
about getting to and from our home. The rest are the actual tours,
arranged from shortest to longest. Click on the title in the box at the
