We have for 2 years been investigating our future in terms of overlanding travel. We swapped our large and luxurious Niesmann Bischoff Flair 920 for our current Hymer MLT 580 just over a year ago to enable us to get off-road and to move places in mainland Europe. Although we were hoping it could takeContinue reading “Krug Off-Road Weekend – Biberach, Germany”

Into Germany – Strasbourg (France) and Ulm, Germany
Monday morning saw us driving further north toward Strasbourg. We had a choice from Colmar, to either go via Strasbourg or the Black Forest. We were both a bit intrigued by Strasbourg, the former capital of the Alsace region and current host of the European Parliament and Court of Human Rights. So, we decided toContinue reading “Into Germany – Strasbourg (France) and Ulm, Germany”
Visiting Hellgeth and taking a Spa – Bad Lobenstein, Germany
We had a leisurely start to the day in Kronach, as we were not due at Hellgeth Engineering for our Unimog tour until 1pm in Wurzbach only 30mins away. Lizzy, Lola and I went off for a run up the hills (14%!) behind us and into the woods beyond. It was my first time “canicrossing”Continue reading “Visiting Hellgeth and taking a Spa – Bad Lobenstein, Germany”

And relax – Schweinfurt, Germany

Heading north – (via Hammelburg) Ramsthal, Germany
We had another walk around Rothenburg after the rugby and got to see the gardens through town and the views down the valley. The countryside around seems to be unspoilt woodland turning beautiful autumnal shades from amber through to red, with the tips of towers peering through the canopy. As the light faded and itContinue reading “Heading north – (via Hammelburg) Ramsthal, Germany”
Medieval Beauty – Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany
It was 0 degrees C when we took out Lizzy and Lola for their morning ablutions this morning.

It was still super cozy in Clouline thoughContinue reading “Medieval Beauty – Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany”
