Dec 2012 town/cities suggestion
My wife and I will be flying into Frankfurt early Dec. We have most of our trip planned, Wurzburg, Rothenburg, Bamberg, Numburg and Munich. We have 2 1/2 days to get from Munich to Frankfurt for flight back to US.( already booked for night before flight near Fra airport) Any suggestions for a town or city to see between Munich and Frankfurt that covers our last 2 days. We are using trains for travel while in Germany. Thanks

Maybe come back up from Munich via Ulm and Stuttgart on the way back up to Frankfurt? What do you enjoy seeing?
Stuttgart has frequent train service between both Munich and Frankfurt. Any decent sized town will have a Christmas market in the town square to visit.
Another option would be to go to Prague for those two days. There is a direct train from Munich but I'm not sure about getting to Frankfurt by direct train, although you'd probably just have to connect in Dresden or Nrnberg.

Heidelberg, Freiburg could be nice to see too - pretty cities, cozy and nice.
If you'd like to see Audi cars, Ingolstadt could be interesting too, Stuttgart has Porsche, Munich has BMW.

Regensburg is between Munich and Nuremburg on the Danube. Really pretty German town that was pretty much unscathed by WW2. Plenty of Christmas markets in December in the towns and villages.The DB.de website will give you all of the train times and bookings.

I think Stuttgart and maybe Freiburg are much better ideas since it's in the right direction. why travel hundreds of km in the wrong direction when you have interesting places on your way ... both are great cities to visit, christmas markets in both cities attracts many many tourists. And Stuttgart - be aware that you can book up to 48h stopover on the same rail ticket ... safes you some of money you could spend for other interesting things
