Reaching there: Baumholder can be reached by car after reaching the airport of Frankfurt-Hahn, which is pretty popular among the low-cost airlines.

Sightseeing locations: Baumholder being an army cantonment does not hold any sightseeing opportunities. However, the nearby towns of Idar-Oberstein and Hunsruck provide a few possibilities. Since the sixth decade of the last century(1960’s) tourism in Idar-Oberstein has grown surrounding the Steinkaulenberg, which is a gemstone mine open to tourists, and the Deutsches Edelsteinmuseum, a gemstone museum as well as a few recreational resorts. The Hunsruck is a low mountain chain bounded by three river valleys providing a lot of chances to enjoy the beauty of Nature. The three rivers are the Mossell, the Nahe, and the great Rhine, the life vein of Central Europe.

Accommodation: Baumholder does not have any hotel accommodations or service apartments, however, the nearby towns provide for the lack of such places of temporary residence.

Other Features: Baumholder has the largest single concentration of American combat soldiers anywhere outside America. The main installation is known as the Smith Barracks with support operations in Strassburg in Idar-Oberstein and Neubruck in Birkenfeld. It also has the largest firing squad in Western Germany.
