We landed in Biberach last year...can't remember the ICAO code, but it's a small airfield to the south of Stuttgart. We were heading for a conference in Salzburg, but got stuck due to bad weather, and eventually had to hire a car. The airfield manager was WONDERFUL! He found us a hotel initially, drove us out there, checked weather and gave us advice...he's been flying for years and years, so his advice was worth having. He helped us hire a car, and promised to look after the aircraft till our return. It's a friendly little airfield, and gets 110% from me, at least.

The town is a nice place to stay too, small and pretty and quite a lot to see.
