About the site
Hello dear campers, Welcome to wild camping in my orchard. My meadow orchard is one of my absolute favorite places. It was planted by my grandfather and I am gradually renewing the trees with mostly old fruit varieties. The orchard is located just outside my village in the Nördlinger Ries and is surrounded by fields. It is on a slight slope. You have a clear view almost all around. About 100 m as the crow flies there is a modern mill. In between there is a meadow with a grass path. The mill canal flows past as a narrow river (Eger) about 30 m from my orchard. Since the access is via a grassy, slightly descending field path (about 200m) where you have to turn once at a 90-degree angle, the access is not suitable for caravans and very large mobile homes. The pitches can only be used by completely self-sufficient vehicles (black and grey water!). If you want to camp, please only bring your own camping toilet or folding spade 😃😁😉 The garden is a natural wildflower meadow that is only mown about twice a year. When fruit (apples, pears, plums) is ripe, you are welcome to help yourself for your breakfast. I have laid out paving slabs. There you can - at your own risk and full liability - make a fire 🔥 with a fire basket or fire bowl. You would have to bring your own wood. There is also a lounge couch (made of pallets) that you are welcome to use. Remember to bring pillows for comfortable chilling. And also a "Bavarian orchard basket" (= beach chair). 😉 By the way: Did you know that orchards have been included in Germany's intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO?!?! So, just feel good there ... with so much UNESCO 🙂 LEISURE TIPS: ⇒ Nördlingen is on the Romantic Road, has a beautiful, medieval old town, a completely walkable city wall, the Ries Crater Museum and a beautiful vantage point with the St. George's Church with the 90m high Daniel church tower. And there is now also the Gerd Müller memorial for the nation's bomber ⚽. ⇒ The UNESCO Global Geo Park Ries offers several hiking trails: https://www.geopark-ries.de/geopark-wege/ The Shepherd's Trail goes right past my village. The Lindle geotope / nature trail and the Swedish Trail are only 2-3 km away. ⇒ Dinkelsbühl, voted the most beautiful old town in Germany, is also only about 30km away. ⇒ You can go kayaking and canoeing on the Wörnitz. There are about 6 stages from Dinkelsbühl via Oettingen to Donauwörth. https://www.faltboot.org/wiki/index.php?title=W%C3%B6rnitz ⇒ Since the Ries is very flat overall, it is ideal for cycling. There is a large selection of cycle paths. SHOP LOCALLY: In the village there is the mill shop (e.g. flour, pasta, oils, vinegar, muesli, dried fruit, honey & fruit spreads, eggs, tea, spices, snacks, sweets, etc.), a local butcher's shop (local sausage and meat) and a farm shop (depending on the daily offer e.g. regional meat (lamb, game, poultry), wood-fired bread, eggs, liqueur, honey, spreads, cheese etc.). In Nördlingen there are various supermarket chains, weekly markets, several butchers and bakeries etc. I hope you have fun camping 😎🏕️🚙 *** Any kind of liability on my part for personal injury and property damage, e.g. if you twist your foot on the meadow or a branch from a tree falls on your vehicle or tent during a storm or thunderstorm, is hereby excluded. ... Nothing like that has happened so far and hopefully it stays that way. ***

Site rules
Regarding "expectation management": - Please do not cause any damage to the neighboring fields and my fruit trees. - Please do not leave any rubbish behind. Sorry, it sounds stupid, but I don't want to be a camper like that. *** Any kind of liability on my part for personal injury and property damage, e.g. if you twist your foot on the lawn or a branch falls from a tree onto your vehicle or tent during a storm or thunderstorm, is hereby excluded. ... So far nothing like that has happened and hopefully it will stay that way. *** *** If you light a fire (e.g. in a fire bowl or fire basket), you do so at your own risk and assume full liability. ***

Eine hübsche Obstwiese mitten im Ries mit Blick auf die Hügel. Der Hofladen der Mühle ist in der Nähe und in Nördlingen ist man in 30 Min zu Fuß. Habe eine SUP Tour auf der Wörnitz gemacht, noch (!) ein sehr ruhiges, pures Naturerlebnis.

Hatten das Glück, Gerhard und sein Patenkind kennenlernen zu dürfen und haben einen schönen und unterhaltsamen Abend an der Feuerschale zusammen verbracht. Der Platz ist wunderbar ruhig und die Anfahrt auch mit unserem Teilintegrierten kein Problem. Jetzt starten wir mit unserem Hunden noch eine Wanderung zum nahen Lindle Geopark.
