\"Ferienhaus<\/a><\/p>\n

Colourful Cottages – Picture definitely not taken during our stay…\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I know that our time in Bavaria will run out before long, and over the next few months (or at a push a year) a move will be on the cards. \u00a0And yet there’s still so much we have to see of Germany. \u00a0Thankfully, we have a\u00a0big list – typically consisting of picturesque towns, places with amazing scenery and\/or beautiful wines to try to get to before we check out (funny that!)…<\/p>\n

The Eifel happened to be on this list for its National Park Status – a region that Mr R had visited many moons ago, but that I didn’t know all that much about – apart from the fact that it’s quite close to France and Belgium, and sits between the Mosel and the Rhine (great for wine!) and that was about it. \u00a0 And then we were invited to spend a weekend with Lindner Ferienpark N\u00fcrburgring<\/a>\u00a0and my knowledge of the place grew tenfold in the space of around 48 hours.<\/p>\n

It took us a little over 6 hours to get there from Munich with a couple of stops for the tiniest member of the family. At just over 340 miles, it’s actually closer to get to from the UK, and has a bit of a British fan base – undoubtedly attracted by a good few things – the demon driving to be had next door at the N\u00fcrburgring<\/a>,\u00a0a world renowned Formula One Track (more on that soon!), the massive array of outdoor activities on its doorstep, and the fact that \u00a0it’s a great place to stay with friends and family.<\/p>\n

One of my personal holiday park scoring systems involves the weather – is there enough to do when it’s terrible? \u00a0 Is the accommodation nice enough for everyone to be happy to be stuck in from time to time? And most importantly – are there enough things to keep children happy when they don’t want to be stuck in from time to time?… Not all too unsurprisingly given the time of year, the weather happily obliged to help me with this test for the entire weekend with gale force winds, sleet, snow and pretty much non-stop rain.<\/p>\n

Thankfully all wintry conditions were very much left outside given the warm welcome we received from the friendly receptionist. \u00a0This was our first visit to a German holiday park, and Lindner lived up to its child friendly holiday park<\/a> reputation with a few welcome treats for the Small People.<\/p>\n

As it was late, we opted for a very decent flammkuchen in the small bistro, and gave the (decent) buffet breakfast a run for its money each morning. \u00a0 \u00a0Incidentally, the bistro also has a small shop selling all the basics you need without having to leave the park.<\/p>\n
