Trip Koh Trol $ Prey Nokor

Just back from Altenkirchen and can totally say—this small German gem punches way above its weight! 🍃 Chill old town vibes, cozy bakeries, plus relaxing countryside all around. Top Spots to Visit in Altenkirchen: 1. Marktplatz Altenkirchen – The heart of town! Snap old-school pics, grab fresh pastries from Bäckerei Höfer (Marktplatz 10), and watch daily life roll by. Open from 7:00 AM. 2. Westerwald Museum – Soak in the region’s history and quirky local artifacts (Schulstraße 12, open 10:00-17:00 Tue–Sun). 3. St. Jakobus Church – Gorgeous architecture and peaceful inside, pop by anytime for a quiet moment. 4. The River Wied Trails – Easy hiking or biking, especially pretty at sunset! Local tip: the path near Wiedpark is relaxed and lined with wildflowers. How to Get Around: 🚄 Rail hacks: Trains from nearby Siegen or Bonn are quick and efficient. The local bus covers all major spots, but if you’re feeling active, rent a bike for the best countryside access. Food Recommendations: Go classic German: try schnitzel at Gasthof zum Westerwald (Bahnhofstr. 4). Don’t miss the homemade pretzels at Bäckerei Höfer while exploring Marktplatz. Extra Tipps: Weather can flip fast—bring a light rain jacket. No visa needed if you’re EU, and ATMs are easy to find downtown. Most spots accept card, but carry some euro coins for bakeries and small cafés. #altenkirchenguide #germanytravel #westerwaldviews #hiddengermany #tripdotcom#historicallandmarks
