Visit some of the interesting shops there, explore the medieval castle or to stop for a coffee and one of those delicious cream cakes!  Or you could join your Tour Manager for a trip up the Johannisberg hilltop for splendid views over the surrounding countryside and to visit the café where, as the story goes, Elvis signed a tablecloth for a fan before the lady owner of the café snatched it off him and promptly washed it. Oh dear – if only she’d known!​
