Crisp winter days, sledging, enough snow to build a snowman – everything we needed to keep a toddler happy. That’s what we were looking for in 2012 when we decided to take our then 2-year-old son on a winter holiday to the Allgäu region in Bavaria. When looking for family friendly-hotels in Bavaria, we […]
Have you ever considered visiting Germany during the winter? In my unbiased opinion, I think Germany is worth visiting at any time of year.

Don’t you find that we’re approaching Christmas (almost too) fast now?

Whenever I’ve spoken to people about going to a Christmas market in Germany, the big cities like Munich, Berlin or Hamburg are always mentioned. However, followers from my community have mentioned Münster and Aachen. […]
When I started planning what we could do around Lindau, I was over the moon to notice that the Käseschule Cheese School in Thalkirchdorf was only a 20-minute drive away. I booked places online for all three of us a few weeks in advance. The short journey to Thalkirchdorf took us through beautiful forests, rolling […]
