I began this blog with the intention of posting all the awesomeness I might find here.The truth is there are a lot of things I have found to really dislike about Germany and find it difficult to cope sometimes. However, I’ve aimed at elaborating on the positive. So here is a short list of my pleasant findings in Deutschland.
Nature and Castles
Living near the Rhine is beautiful and despite the dreary weather it’s a gorgeously green and lush zone. You get a true four seasons here and a great place for hiking and running. It’s also a great place to explore castles. Sehr romantische:)
Water selection
I’m a big natural mineral water Connoisseur. I love both still and sparkling. When we go to the Getränkemarkt (giant beverage store) here I get dizzy. Local waters with all sorts of different mineral content, taste, carbonation level. I am in my own water heaven here.
Biking
Germany offers a friendly biking atmosphere-even for those faint of heart with navigating themselves. Drivers generally respect you on a bike and there are plenty of distinctly marked bike paths.
Easy central access to explore other parts of Europe
I would never be able to travel Europe as much as we have in the past year and a half. When all else fails it gives me great comfort to know we are located 3hr and 50 minutes by train to Paris. This in itself, is worth gold.
