Tourist destinations from Frankfurt-Hahn airport besides Frankfurt
Some low cost airlines, mainly Ryanair, provide several low cost connections with the little Hahn airport.
Usually this airport is referred to as Frankfurt-Hahn airport and, from a tourist point of view, it is mainly used to visit Frankfurt am Main.
Having already visited that city I was wondering what are the other possible tourist destinations when landing in Hahn.
As far as I know there could be Trier with its roman ruins and Mainz, close to Frankfurt, but they are two spots quite far from each other.
What possible itineraries for a three/four days trip are there within a reasonable distance from the airport when moving by public transport?
Best Answer
Frankfurt Hahn is in the middle of the Hunsrück, a beautiful area with small forests and hills and countryside typical of the region. A good destination for family cycling trips. For example, there are a number of rail trails in the area, where former railways were converted into cycling tracks.

I've been cycling on the Schinderhannes-Radweg:
I can recommend the campsite at Schinderhannes.
You might also enjoy the regional cuisine. I can recommend to find a nice campsite in the area, put up a tent, make some bicycle rides to a restaurant, ride back to the campsite in the night. We've used it mostly as a stopover between The Netherlands and The Alps, but it's a nice destination in itself — in particular with a family.
To get a taste for the region, I can recommend the excellent movie series Heimat, a full 924 minute TV series telling the history of 20th century Germany through the eyes of a family from the Hunsrück.
