Hi Bono , quite simple actually just enter "Frankfurt to Wetzlar" into Google Maps. You will get the road ( highway ) displayed blue and the full map. Good luck and have a nice trip!

brslomo Posted May 12, 2008 Share #3 Posted May 12, 2008 Since the poster is coming from Hong Kong, I take it that means he is not used to driving on the right hand side of the road. He's also probably not used to the Autobahn. My advice to him would be to take the train. Probably cheaper since he won't have to pay to park if he does so. I would advise using this page: How to travel by train in Europe: Eurorail, Eurail, Official fares and schedules from Rail Europe You can find train schedules, prices, and even book tickets. Good luck. Bruce S. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bono0272 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted May 13, 2008 Thanks. I think we would take the train from Frankfurt to Wetlzer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marknorton Posted May 14, 2008 Share #5 Posted May 14, 2008 Autobahn driving is fine, even for us left-driving drivers, and of course no speed limit on some sections. Last month, my nerve ran out before the car did at 165 mph... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted May 16, 2008 Share #6 Posted May 16, 2008 I visited the Leica factory last year, and it was excellent. Train is definitely the best way to get to Wetzlar, and very easy. It's about half an hour from Frankfurt, via Giessen. See DB-Konzern - Startseite for exact schedules. You may like to then stay in Wetzlar. You must then take a taxi to Solms. It's about 20 minutes and not expensive. Hope this helps. Please email me direct if you need any more info.
