Hotels in Büchenbeuren

Büchenbeuren is a small Hunsrück village in Rhineland-Palatinate that most visitors only know because of its neighbour, Frankfurt-Hahn Airport. The airfield began as a US Air Force base during the Cold War, and the surrounding villages still carry traces of that era. The "Frankfurt" in the airport's name is generous, since Frankfurt itself is well over an hour away by road. There is little to do in the village beyond sleeping before an early flight, and evenings are very quiet.

The redeeming factor is the landscape. The Hunsrück's rolling farmland and forests are pleasant, and the Mosel valley, with its steep vineyards and riverside wine towns, is a short drive away for anyone with a car and a spare day. Stay as close to the airport as possible if you're here for a flight, since public transport is sparse and early departures leave little margin.
