A bike path—which is also popular with inline skaters—and a hiking trail run right past the house. There are many interesting, well-marked biking and hiking trails. A 5-minute walk away, you’ll find Germany’s first “Monkey Climbing Forest.” In Kaiserslautern, you’ll find “Montemare,” a fully equipped wellness resort. In addition to a wave pool and various sauna areas, the offerings include a wide variety of massage treatments. For cyclists, we have at least 10 very interesting routes ready. Further information can be found in the book: “Pfälzer Wald” published by “Hilight” (available here).<br><br>Herbal excursions: Experience an introduction to herbal medicine in our own herb garden. In the shade of the old pear tree, you’ll learn about tea blends from the medicinal herb garden and, if you’d like, go on herb excursions. Join our guided herb excursions through forests and fields. Afterward, in our landscaped herb garden, you’ll learn to identify the cultivated plants and gain knowledge about the individual medicinal herbs and how they’re processed into teas, oils, and essential oils. In our tea storage area, you can “take in the aroma” of the herbs.<br><br> **FUERSIE2010**
