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 […]
Regensburg is located in the centre of Bavaria and many people say it’s one of the prettiest cities in the world.

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 […]
Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg: a food lover’s paradise Whenever we’re on holiday or I’m out discovering places for my website and community, I try and avoid succumbing to a fast food break.
