    Hey everybody!
    I'm planning a 4-day trip to my brother who recently moved to Stuttgart, and looking for things to see and do. We'll have a car but would like to keep our stops within 2-3 hours from Stuttgart.

    Is there anything left of the southern parts of the Maginot and Siegfried line? Any other historic sites nearby worth visiting?
    Any suggestions are welcomed!

    Thanks

    Halldin

    I cannot vouch for this place as I have never been to Germany (or Europe for that matter), but it is within a 2 hour drive of Stuttgart

    There is a German military cemetery, 14,400 soldiers, just outside of Niederbronn-Les-Bains, just NWN of Strasbourg, in Alsace that I am glad I found and visited. On the other had Dachau is very closer to Stuttgart . I have been told I am strange but I think everyone should visit an extermination camp if at all possible.

    Oh, if you get chance bring me back a Porsche 911 Carrera RS Cabriolet, in silver, thanks. Mention Otto's name for a big discount.
