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 just outside "my" village in the Nördlinger Ries and is surrounded by fields. It's on a slight slope. You have a clear view almost all around. A modern mill is about 100 m away as the crow flies. In between is a meadow with a grass path. Approximately 30 m away from my orchard, the Mühlkanal flows past as a narrow river (Eger). Since the approach is via a grassy, slightly descending dirt road (approx. 300m), where you have to turn once at a 90-degree angle, the access road is not suitable for caravans and very large mobile homes. The pitches can only be used by completely self-sufficient vehicles (black and gray water!). If you want to camp, please only use your own camping toilet or folding spade 😃😁😉 The garden is a natural wildflower meadow that is only mowed about twice a year. If fruit (apples, pears, plums) is ripe, you are welcome to help yourself for your breakfast. Bees and other useful insects 🐞🐝🦋🪲 are also among the welcome guests in an orchard. That's why 3 bee hotels 🏨 are hanging in the trees. I 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 have to bring wood and a fire bowl with you. There is also a "lounge couch" (made of pallets) that you are welcome to use. Remember to bring pillows for comfy chilling 😉. LEISURE TIPS: ⇒ Nördlingen is on the "Romantic Road", has a beautiful, medieval old town, a fully accessible city wall, the Ries crater museum and the Georgskirche with the 90m high "Daniel" church tower, a beautiful vantage point. And now there is also the Gerd Müller memorial for the "Bomber of the Nation" ⚽. ⇒ The UNESCO Global Geo Park Ries offers several hiking trails: https://www.geopark-ries.de/geopark-wege/ The "Schäferweg" goes right past "my" village. The geotope / nature trail "Lindle" and the "Schwedenweg" are only 2-3 km away. ⇒ Dinkelsbühl, voted the most beautiful old town in Germany, is only about 30km away. ⇒ You can kayak and canoe 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 well suited for cycling. There is a wide range of cycle paths. SHOP REGIONAL: In the village there is the mill shop (e.g. flour, pasta, oils, vinegar, muesli, dried fruit, honey & fruit spreads, eggs, tea, spices, nibbles, sweets, etc.), a butcher (local sausages 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 wish you a lot of fun camping 😎🏕️🚙 *** Any kind of liability on my part for personal injury and damage to property, e.g. if you twist your foot on the meadow or a branch falls from a tree onto your vehicle or tent during a storm or thunderstorm, is hereby excluded. ... Nothing like that has happened so far and hopefully it will stay that way. ***

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, sounds stupid, but I don't feel like this type of camper. *** Any kind of liability on my part for personal injury and damage to property, e.g. if you twist your foot on the meadow or a branch falls from a tree onto your vehicle or tent during a storm or thunderstorm, is hereby excluded. ... Nothing like that has happened so far and hopefully it will stay that way. *** *** If you make a fire (e.g. in a fire bowl or a fire basket), you do so at your own risk and full liability. ***

Mitten auf einer schönen Obstbaum Wiese neben einem Bach. Leichter Hang aber sehr schön.
