Since the Corona virus hit, taking trips has been tricky to say the least. However, whilst some countries are still in the middle of battling the newest novel virus, the Netherlands has loosened its rules, with Germany following suit. We’ve been looking to travel again for a while, and whilst a full on adventure wasn’t on the cards, we did feel like a change of scenery would be good for us. So, we headed off to Heimbach, West Germany for 3 days on a trip to explore its rolling hills, hairpin roads, and to discover its apfelstrudel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We took our sweet time finding suitable accommodation. Our checklist for finding the perfect place to stay was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • An area where Corona hadn’t hit hard<\/li>
        • Somewhere where we could rent an apartment rather than a hotel<\/li>
        • A spot with plenty of nature and small towns rather than the big city<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          We finally settled on Landal Eifeler Tor<\/a>, a roomy, peaceful, and relaxing holiday park with plenty of space that had both apartments and bungalows for hire. As an area that hadn’t been hugely affected by the Corona virus, we definitely felt like it was a safe spot to spend a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
