Towns near FRA for daytime layover in winter
I am looking at towns near Frankfurt airport for a 10-hr layover at FRA on a Saturday in early March. I have already been to Mainz (which was great) and Frankfurt itself, and plan to visit Wiesbaden on a shorter layover. I'm looking for somewhere on a train line, less than 15-20 euros return (since I will be jetlagged and a quick visit anyway), which is pretty to walk around, small enough to explore on foot in an afternoon, and where I do not need to spend more than 10 euros on admissions (so will not do spas or similar, but a museum is fine). A bonus would be if there is a walking trail nearby in a nice park or hills on outskirts of town.
I've searched on this forum and am introducing a new thread because many suggestions are further away, better for summer months, or require a car. Previous helpful suggestions on this site and elsewhere which might fit the bill are Budingen (may be best, but farthest), Bad Homburg (closest, but looks least interesting), Bacharach (middle option, may be with pretty train ride), and Idstein. Any tips? Thanks in advance.
