SAMPLE DAY-BY-DAY ITINERARY & CONTACTS
April 28, 2012 - Depart USA
Make your way to your hometown airport where you will board your overnight
flight(s) to Frankfurt. Dinner and breakfast will be served on board.
April 29, 2012 - Arrive Frankfurt Germany
We arrive in Frankfurt and meet our Pilgrimage Tours' tour director who will
remain with us until the end of our tour. We embark on a scenic motor coach
tour of Germany to Trier. Trier, Germany is Germany's oldest city and, as
such, is truly fascinating and overflowing with historical significance. This tiny
town has eight UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites - and that's only the
beginning! The remainder of the day is free. Dinner and overnight in Trier.
April 30 , 2012 – Trier – " The Holy Robe"
After breakfast we will visit the Cathedral or the "Dom" of Trier (A UNESCO
World Cultural Heritage), where the Holy Robe is on display. This most precious relic is the Holy Robe, the tunic of Christ. According to tradition, the Empress Dowager Helena brought the seamless robe of Christ to Trier. After we
will visit the Church of our Lady (A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage) , this is
the oldest Gothic church in Germany. The Church is attached to the south side
of the Cathedral (Dom), and has Roman foundations, though everything above
ground dates back to about 1235 or later. We will walk through The Porta
Nigra City Gate (A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage) or Black Gate, is the
largest surviving Roman city gate. They used no mortar to build it, instead
fastening the blocks with iron clamps inserted into holes filled with molten lead.
Some of the clamps are still visible. It's called the "Black Gate" because the
sandstone blocks the Roman's used to build it in AD 180 gained a darkened
appearance from pollution centuries ago. We will walk ober the Main Market,
or Hauptmarkt, has been in the same place since AD 958, where it was moved
after the Viking's destruction of Trier. The House of the Three Magi or
Dreikönigenhaus, is located near the Main Market. Built in 1230, it is one of the
oldest stone houses in Germany. Since it was built before the medieval defensive city wall was built, the house has its own defenses: a front door that is
built into the second story. In the photo you can see there is now a business
on the first level, but also a door floating to the right above it where the original
residents attached a retractable wooden staircase, as a matter of protection.
The Moorish style of the house was popular at the time. We will continue to St.
Gangolf . After the Vikings destroyed the city in the ninth century, there was a
church built near the Main Market that was replaced in the 14th century by the
Gothic church of St. Gangolf. The church's tower is one of the tallest structures
in the city at a height of 200 feet.. Our favorite part of the church was a tile
mosaic in the entryway that depicted a knight (probably St. George) slaying a
dragon. This will bring us to St. George's Fountain. The baroque St. George's
Fountain, or Georgsbrunnen, is located in the Kornmarkt. The basin corners
are decorated with statues representing the four seasons and the center obelisk is topped by St. George slaying the dragon. Dinner and overnight Trier.
May 1, 2012 - Trier – Heidelberg

beauty . Heidelberg has so much to offer including the Old Bridge and the

Neuschwanstein, perched a top the mountain is a scene out of a fairy tale.

Europe to compare with it. Arrival to Garmisch Partenkirchen and check in at

resulting from the inability for trip to depart as scheduled, such as cancellations due to acts of war and/or terrorism, war, God, or nature takes
place, 206 Tours is not liable for restitution. Though every effort will be

necessitate changes in the sequence of visits or the missing of certain
visits. We will have daily mass and strive to be in places as indicated.
However, sometimes this is not possible as the site may not be available
for Mass or itinerary changes are forced upon us. In this case an alternative site for Mass will be arranged.

other independent suppliers. Be aware that all of our tours are operated
outside the U.S. where the Americans with Disabilities Act is not applicable and facilities for disabled individuals are limited. Most transportation services, including the touring motor coaches, are not equipped with
wheelchair ramps or lifts. We regret that we cannot provide individual
assistance to any tour participant for walking, dining, while in their room,
on flight, getting on and off motor coaches and other vehicles, or other
personal needs. A qualified and physically able companion(s) must
accompany travelers who need special assistance. It is the passenger's

available at the destination and during transit. A pregnant woman is
advised to travel with at least one companion; during her pregnancy, her
level of comfort may be adversely affected by traveling.
YOUNG TRAVELERS
Travelers who are less than 18 years old on
the departure date must be accompanied by an adult. Due to heightened
security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international
abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than
the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized
letter be written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authorization to travel including the dates of travel. We also suggest you contact
the appropriate consulate and airlines because they may have additional
requirements. For the purposes of 206 Tours trips an infant is defined as
anyone who is under the age of 24 months for the entire duration of their
trip. A child is defined as any one between the ages of 24 months-11
years for the entire duration of their trip.
