Need to get out the city?
Kloster Eberbach is an absolutely wonderful day out…with or without kids!
The drive itself is just spectacular with ‘castles’ & backdrops that you once imagined jumping out of the pages of the fairy tales you read as a child! Vineyards, apple blossoms & hills that appear to be a patchwork of squares stitched together!
Once at the Klosterbach Monastery, wander the gorgeous grounds before stopping off for a bite to eat at Klosterschänke – the restaurant has a very rustic & warm atmosphere with staff greeting and serving you in traditional German attire. Wonderful ‘home cooking’ are on the menu and the service is brilliantly quick!
After lunch head over to the Vinotech for a sneaky wine tasting (there are guided tours. However, we had kids in tow so did it at lightning speed, not ideal but we ain’t leaving without tasting some of the local tipple!)
The premises is surrounded by forest so we wandered out one of the gates and let the boys run around. They just loved it (plenty of sticks to collect in a forest because of course their collection at home isn’t big enough ????)
