Springtime in Schwangau, Bavaria

When the meadows just explode after a long winter and one can smell the fresh new green -then all of a sudden the spirits awake. Everywhere are spring flowers: daffodils, daisies, pussy willow, dandelion and all the herbs within the tender grass. The days are getting longer and the trails are releasing its snow. Timid and yet cautiously starts the hiking season.

It is a wonderful experience to see how the animals, after a long wintertime in the stable, hop over the meadows and fields in Schwangau - high spirited and hard to tame. Springtime here we come!

The guided Easter Walk through the park in Schwangau (always on Easter Sunday) will give you pleasure and a warm feeling when you hear the impressive sounds of the alphorn. An Easter Holiday like that you will never forget.
