It sounds like a clich\u00e9, but sometimes the journey really is the destination. And it doesn’t always have to be a multi-week trip along Route 66<\/strong>. A real dream road trip in Germany, for example, is the route from Trier via Koblenz to Frankfurt. We also know why.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting point is the Benedictine Abbey of St. Matthias<\/a> in the south of Trier<\/strong>. The monastery is still inhabited by eleven monks today. It was founded in the early Middle Ages and the 12th century Romanesque basilica is a real eye-catcher. Especially in good weather, the white fa\u00e7ade of the impressive building shines so brightly that you almost have to put on sunglasses. The bones of the apostle Matthew are said to lie in the abbey. This makes the basilica the only one of its kind north of the Alps and it still attracts numerous pilgrims today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
