Wild Campen im Obstgarten - 360°Blick im UNESCO Geopark Ries from €19.49 per night

Hello dear campers, Welcome to wild camping in my orchard in the UNESCO Global Geopark Ries! 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. There is a modern mill about 100 m away as the crow flies. In between there is a meadow with a grassy path. About 30 m from my orchard, the mill canal flows past as a narrow river (Eger). Since the access is via a grassy, slightly descending dirt road (approx. 200m), where you have to turn once at a 90-degree angle, the access is not suitable for caravans and very large motorhomes. 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 to it for your breakfast. I have laid out paving slabs. You can make a fire there - at your own risk and full liability - using a fire basket or fire bowl. You will need 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 UNESCO has included meadow orchards in Germany's intangible cultural heritage?!?! So, just feel at home there... with so much UNESCO 😉 LEISURE TIPS: ⇒ Nördlingen is located on the Romantic Road, has a beautiful, medieval old town, a completely walkable city wall, the Ries Crater Museum and the St. George's Church with its 90m high Daniel church tower, a beautiful vantage point. 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 Schäferweg goes right past *my* village. It was voted the most beautiful day hike in southern Germany (and the fourth most beautiful in all of Germany) in 2024. https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/wanderung/donau-ries/geopark-ries-schaeferweg/193239592/#caml=7ps,1pu72x,82p66l,0,0 The Lindle geotope/educational 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. ⇒ Harburg/Swabia is also very beautiful with the castle on the rock (approx. 25 km away). This is one of the largest, oldest and best preserved castle complexes in southern Germany. https://www.stadt-harburg-schwaben.de/poi/schloss_harburg-364/ ⇒ And the area around Christgarten (with wildlife park (wild boar enclosure)) in the Carthusian Valley is also very idyllic for hiking and cycling (about 10km away). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Christgarten ⇒ 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 and fruit spreads, eggs, tea, spices, nibbles, sweets, etc.), a 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. The Gasthaus Vierkorn is open regularly on Fridays (otherwise also irregularly on other days). You can bring your own snacks and buy drinks (just like in the beer gardens in Bavaria). 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 ankle 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 of the sort has happened and hopefully it will stay that way! ***
