It is quite close to the Leitz factory. Wetzlar is divided by the Lahn river. The Altstadt (old town) is on one side and across the river is the "modern" side of town. You will be staying in the old town side. The Altstadt is very quaint and hilly. There are many things to photograph. One off my favorites was the farmer's market. If you are there at that time you should check it out. It was held weekly in the Domplatz (Cathedral square). Also, if you have time, and a car, you may want to visit the Greifenstein castle. Enjoy your trip, Jeff Jeff Alford
