oh man, so many forums here! It's difficult to find the right forum, I was actualy looking for a 'Germany forum', can't believe I missed it :-)

I will repost it on the German forum then I think, if that is allowed. Or actualy, could a mod 'move' this post?

Also, we will be by car yes. We know Koln already pretty well, in fact we're mostly interested in the spa this time :-) So I'd really like to visit Aachen for half a day (it's on the way to Koln for us), but the hotel itself should just be OK with breakfast included, that's it, no luxury demands :-)
