    I am engaged in the activities of my neighbourhood and I am happy to "share" my guests with some of the neighbours.

    My village is located 80 km south east of Hamburg, some nice little towns are not far away: Lüneburg, Schwerin, Dömitz, Lauenburg .... Distance to the river Elbe is 12 km by car or 8 km as a bird. -
    Activities: the village is situated in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Elbe; nearby is the Elbe bike trail; a lot of farms around here keep old fashioned cattle (cows, pigs, chicken etc.).
