Weeze accommodation help please

Guten Tag!





Myself and hubby are visiting Weeze in March..booked flights today through Ryanair.



We are lookng for a hotel in Weeze which allows a late check-in as we will not land until 22.55





Does anyone know of any hotels in or close to Weeze which allow the late check-in?





Many thanks





Colleen

Weeze has only one hotel.

Kevelaer, the next close town, has as a pilgrimage town much more accommodation on offer.

Easiest will be just to contact their tourist offices and tell them what you are looking for.

Thanks for the reply,





We have booked with the Jagerhof...looks sehr gut!





Whilst we are there my hubby wants to visit Bergen-Belsen...is it very far?



We are travelling to Germany to visit Reichswald Forest War Grave Cemetery and he really would like to visit one of the camps.





Thanks again

Weeze to Bergen-Belsen is approx. 360 km.





Bergen-Belsen memorial site is not easy to reach by public transport.





Weeze to Celle by train.

From: Weeze



To: Celle





From there by bus hopping (2 changes en route) to the memorial site:

By public transport impossible as a day trip. You could stay in Celle, a really nice town by the way.

Thanks for the info...



We are only there 3 days so don%26#39;t think we will be visiting Bergen-Belsen if it is that far away!



Is there any others nearer?





Thanks again,





Colleen

No.



Most easy to visit are Dachau if you%26#39;re in Munich or Sachsenhausen if you%26#39;re in Berlin. These ones are also more authentic.



Bergen-Belsen memorial site is rather new. We had been there 25 years ago with the army and there were barely any reminders to spot at all at this time.
