Our fantastic cycling trip from Lindau to Rorschach Family fun around Lake Constance If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll already know that we, as a family, love outdoor activities as much as we love our food! That means we love walking, cycling and anything outdoorsy – particularly now our son […]
I hope you enjoyed reading my last blog about our family holiday to the Bavarian Forest in the summer of 2014. The eastern part of Bavaria, close to the Czech Republic, is a stunning region, and you’ll find plenty of things to do with children. I’d like to share more from our 10-day holiday, and […]
As you may know, we’re a small family of three – my husband, my 8-year-old son and myself. Although, strictly speaking, we are four if you include my gorgeous west highland terrier Charlie! As a family, we’ve travelled to many places in Germany over the past few years. In this blog, I’d like to show […]
In December 2015, we decided to spend a week in Bavaria, in the small village of Lenggries. We’d been there several years earlier for a walking holiday and loved it so much that we decided to go again – this time with our son. We ‘sold’ him a skiing holiday, which turned out not to […]

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, […]
Regensburg is located in the centre of Bavaria and many people say it’s one of the prettiest cities in the world. Luckily the Old Town didn’t suffer any damage during WWII and was fortunate to be nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. One of the famous buildings is the Royal Castle of […]
Have you ever considered visiting Germany during the winter? In my unbiased opinion, I think Germany is worth visiting at any time of year. In the spring and summer, the weather is usually very good and perfect for exploring Germany’s diverse landscape or visiting its many beautiful cities. City breaks are very popular in May […]
Do you fancy a trip to Bavaria? Why not visit the Christmas markets in Munich and the quaint town of Bad Tölz, with its charming architecture lining the Marktstraße and the narrow cobbled streets in the former craftsman’s quarter? Around 50 stalls offer their handcrafted and traditional products as well as an amazing array of stalls […]
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 […]
I know it’s only the beginning of Autumn and it’s far too early to mention the c-word! After a fantastic summer I really don’t want to be looking at the Christmassy bits already adorning our supermarket shelves – or to be thinking about arrangements for the Christmas holidays. BUT, if you’d like to visit a […]
