There are many people who think that because the Germans take Sunday off there is not much to do, but there are still many Things to do on Sunday in Germany. I wanted to share a few as well as some suggestions of local places near Spangdahlem & Ramstein to try it out. I also kept the list to locations inside of Germany as many people arrive here before they have gotten their tourists passports so this list can get you out traveling within Germany until you can get a tourist passport. Also this list can easily be expanded upon but it give you a starting point for generating ideas for Sunday adventures.
