First I would like to again thank all the participants that showed up in Copenhagen for making it a very special event! Thanks :)

 

Secondly I would like to sign up for a tour of the factory.

 

Last I would like to offer a car ride to Wetzlar from Denmark, leaving Copenhagen either via ferry or though Jylland, there is plenty of room for three fellow travelers willing to share some fuel.

That makes 31 so far by my reckoning, so there will be the two groups. No doubt others will add to the list as we get closer to the date.

 

Anyone any experience of eating out in Wetzlar? We need to understand the likely number of people who wish to join the Saturday night supper that we traditionally have too. There will be more than can attend the Factory Tour, so we could be 40+ easily. That might be a problem and we will need to get something sorted and booked, soon. We haven't even publicised the event on the German side very well yet...

 

Local assistance and experience would be welcome!

 

I would suggest Café am Dom to meet at lunchtime. I have had coffee and pastries there (as have others, I think); they were excellent and they can accommodate up to 95 inside

I have had a recommendation from our friends in Solms...

 

Taschs-Wirtshaus

im SIXPACK

Franz-Schubert-Str. 3

35578 Wetzlar

(Spilburg)

Apparently they are well used to catering for groups and the lady at Leica has offered to assist in the booking if necessary.

 

What nice people :)

 

I will have a look at them later and then put together the instructions and details and a "Do you want any dinner?" list.

 

Edit: It's a bit of a schlep out of town... 2.5km from the Dom. Maybe Leica all have an arrangement with a taxi firm... Might keep looking...

The place gets mainly good to very good reviews. We could rent some "Großraumtaxis". Google also found a Stretch-Limousine service, however, I always find they look out of place outside Las Vegas... ;)

Robert and Carl have recommended

 

Wirt am Dom • Ristorante - Pizzeria in 35578 Wetzlar <- They don't just do pizza...

 

It's central, so very convenient for us all and can cope with the numbers that we are likely to throw at them.

 

Click "Thanks" if you agree with us approaching them for a provisional booking.

 

"Thanks"
