Road Trip through the centre of Germany

From West Germany to the heart of Germany

13th of May 2024

 

We started very early from our house in Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). Our first stop was a zoo in Weilburg. We were alone with two grandfathers and grandmothers and their grandchildren. This was a wonderful walk through amazing scenery with local fauna. 

In the afternoon we visited Grünberg with a great playground and a beautiful historical center. Here we met nice children who were playing with Lotta on the playground.

In the evening we found an amazing overnight spot at the castle of Herzberg (Heart Mountain) in Hessen. Lotta had a lot of fun all evening with two dogs and their owners.

Before breakfast, Lotta had fun with the two dogs from yesterday. After breakfast we made an attempt to find the two dogs, but without success. Then we  drove to Merkers to visit the salt mine, but Lotta was too young to enter. Therefore we drove to Bad Salzungen a wonderful town with an amazing historical centre. Here we walked around the Burgsee and ate ice cream in the center.

In the evening we found a fantastic place to spend the night in Weißensee right on the lake. Here we had a wonderful walk through the historical centre and an great dinner at a playground of an allotment garden colony.
