Durbach

We are now in Germany where we will be based for the next 3 weeks. The Offenburg World Cup will be held here in 3 weeks time and it is a great place to be based to get some quality training in.

Durbach is a small quaint village that is surrounded by vineyards, and apple orchards.

The quaint main street of Durbach

We are staying in a small apartment at the bottom of a big German house, this seems to be a very common set up. As it is quite a touristy area, most of the families in the area have a guest house on their property.

This is the families home and farm, quite the set up!

The family we are staying with has 3 generations living on the same property, they have been making wine and schnapps here since 1782! The owner gave us a tour of his distillery, where they make the wine and schnapps, we also had a tasting, the schnapps sure does take your breath away!

About 2km up the road there is Durbach’s ver y own castle, now days they have functions and wine tastings here. It is quite a spectacular view down into Durbach.
