Artist Colonies
Many of the
artist colonies known today developed at the end of the 19th century.
Artists in search of alternative forms of life, inspiration and motifs lived and worked for years
in mostly isolated, insignificant villages and thus unintentionally made these places many years later into
of all known holy pilgrimage sites. Were the physically hard working villagers of those days
certainly rather skeptical of these easy-going idealists, painters, poets and theorists,
so today their descendants may be interested in the interest in these former
artist-colonies and the many
culture tourists please. That shows: Art can also be a very effective and sustainable economic factor.
The best known artist villages from this period are:
Wiki Ahrenshoop : Fishing village at the Baltic Sea coast, Darß/Fischland, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Wiki Mathildenhöhe : Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, Hesse.
Wiki Murnau am Staffelsee : A place at the Staffelsee in Upper Bavaria, Landkreis Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria.
Wiki Willingshausen : Village in the Schwalm-Eder district of North Hesse, Hesse.
Wiki Worpswede : Village in the Teufelsmoor near Bremen, Landkreis Osterholz, Lower Saxony.
Reflective short Vacation
Just take a
time out once and retreat to a
place of silence.
For this purpose,
monasteries that offer accommodation in their
guesthouses are certainly best suited.
These mostly historically significant buildings of faith and spirituality are also frequently located in
a scenic environment. The monastery kitchen provides for the physical well-being during the stay.
An alternative to a stay in a monastery may be a short leave on a hallig.
The Hallig Hooge near the island of Pellworm in Schleswig-Holstein is a secluded area in the North Frisian Wadden Sea.
Small pensions offer relatively inexpensive accommodation on the salt marshes surrounding Hallig-Warften.
Extraordinary Places
For a
exceptional short vacation in
Germany a stay at a
exceptional place
in a geographical
exceptional location or with another unique
feature is surely a good option.

a hallig in the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea
and the darkiest place in Germany in the federal state Brandenburg.
In all these places lodging are usually possible at any time of the year.
Travelling with Dog
When
travelling with one
dog or another
pet special challenges arise
when searching for a suitable
accommodation.

with a smoking dog, it's almost impossible to find welcome accommodation.

pets must be clarified with the hosts at the time of reservation,
