of course, it's not far, but I personally dislike it a bit because of
the many students that crowd the city ;-) .

I have grown in the Odenwald, and I think there are much more
interesting mountains/regions in germany like the Franconian
Switzerland:

Besides the many breweries, there are nice rocks (usually crowded by
japanese freeclimbers ;-) , nice caves, villages, old churches, there's
Bayreuth and Sanspareil:
