January Things To Do Around Spangdahlem list is a lot smaller than the past 2 months of back to back Christmas Markets but it has some interesting things to go see during this month. Again these are generally no more than 3 hours away, although I may throw in one or two further away ones if I think that they are something to consider.
There are Things To Do for everyone! Some include Some include [Read more…]
The Church in the Rocks (Felsenkirche) in Idar-Oberstein is neat and unique place to visit. The church sits in the rocks over looking the village and a climb up the hill will reward you with a visit inside. This can also be combined with visiting the mines there as well however I don’t recommend visiting one of the ‘fake mines’ called Gemstone Adventure World, it’s cheesy and not worth the money, [Read more…]
If your looking for a unique change of pace to the traditional market check out the Underground Wine Cellars Christmas Market in Traben-Trarbach, Germany! We went last year and luckily it snowed for us making it even more magical! Experience shopping the vendors placed throughout the historic wine cellars in the village. There is no entrance fee to any of the cellars, and there are a few so make [Read more…]
If you like searching for treasures and getting some great deals you have got to check out the Homburg Flohmarket! It takes place the first Saturday of every month, except December, from 8 am to 4 pm. While I was not impressed with Tongeren I loved Homburg! There are some great finds and the prices were even better. Be prepared to dig for the goods and go with a general idea of what your looking [Read more…]

Daun Wildlife Park (LINK) is a neat way to see some animals up close and personal. It’s a safari type park that you take your own vechile through but it’s probably not like ones your used to in the States. There is also a monkey area and bird area that you don’t drive through. While the park was a good way to get out and do something it didn’t knock our socks off either. It did have some neat things [Read more…]
Reichsburg in Cochem, Germany is a fascintaing castle in a cute village overlooking the Mosel River. Many of you know that I am not a fan of guided tours of castles however I think this one is worth the money even with the quirks. I love the walkplatz area as well AND one shop has the best ice cream EVER!
Parking in this town can be tricky but if you go on a weekday we found it’s pretty abundant. [Read more…]
