Swine fart?

furt = ford: a place where a river or other body of water is shallow enough to be crossed by wading.

Sorry

Well according to the name you can go swim in a shallow body of water with some pigs

Looks beautiful but sounds depressing.

Being close to Wuerzburg allows you access to high speed rail(ICE) very easily. You're going to be able to access many things, including Munich's Octoberfest in September.

I suggest going to Stuttgart for the Mercedez-Benz museum (which can be an all-day thing) and the Porsche museum (probably about 2 hour tour taking your time). The Audi factory outside Heilbronn(Neckarsulm) has tours as well, and you can get there on one of the best stretches of de-limited autobahn.

The Wuerzburg residence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%BCrzburg_Residence) is also interesting, even if you're not particularly well-versed in art and such. It's a common tourist attraction.

If you have an open mind you will also enjoy the day to day life of Germany.

I was just stationed in Schweinfurt, but the base is offically closing at the end of the month. Schweinfurt is a nice place, every other saturday i think it is a traveling car show called street culture sets up at the XXXL store next to the BMW dealership. Your 2hrs from frankfurt, 45mins to Wurzburg, 3-4hrs to Munich, 3-4hrs to the Nurnburgring, 90mins to Nuremburg (2 different places). As far as what to do in town, theres a indoor go kart track,bowling alley might still be some outdoor concerts going on, go to all the places i just mentioned, if you are there in Sept they are having the official Army base closing ceremony i think its the 19th?

PM me on here or Facebook, i am about 30 min. away from there, can show you some BMW crap and Bamberg, a MUCH nicer town with a lot of OLDSCHOOL flair. if it's early enough in the month, i might still have my M3 registered too.
