Farm holidays in the mountains

Most people love the mountains, the clear, healthy air and the breathtaking view that can be enjoyed from high up on the landscape in the valley. To be able to experience a wonderful farm holiday there on the mountain peaks, with everything that goes with it, has been a dream of many since childhood.

There are countless mountain farms across Germany, so why not even fulfill this dream. Especially when there are children of your own who shouldn’t wait until adulthood to experience this unique experience of nature. Depending on the season at which the mountain farm vacation is planned, you should either pack good hiking boots, a backpack and water bottles, or winter equipment with skis, snowsuits and ski boots. Sledges can usually be borrowed from the farm. If you choose a rural holiday accommodation in the mountains, you will surely love the almost untouched nature of a dreamy mountain world.

The spectacular views that open up from the mountain peaks all around remain unforgettable for a long time.

In summer, the cows graze on the lush green mountain herb meadows and pastures. In the alpine huts, the dairymakers make a wide variety of cheeses from the fresh hay milk. There should be a rest for tasting on the hike.

Mostly fresh stone-oven bread is baked with a strong crust and various other homemade farm products can be found on the breakfast table.

In the evening, you can sit comfortably in the fireplace lounge with the host family of the mountain farm and talk about the day’s experiences. The farmer surely gives a few legends or myths from the fairytale mountain region, to which the children always listen intently. To end the evening, depending on the season, a freshly squeezed fruit cocktail or a homemade, hot fruit punch is drunk. The holiday guests then retreat to their cozy farm quarters.
