  Description

  We are:
  * Katja, the mom, teaching music and sports in school
  * Andy, the dad, taking care for house, animals, kids and is making music
  * Paul and Paula, the two kids (12 & 10)
  * Grosi, the grandma
  * Mexx, the dog
  * ... and some other animals :-)
  
  We live in an old farmhouse, built in 1917, which is located in Niederhosenbach, at the "Hildegard v. Bingen pilgrims way". We run a little station for the pilgrims to rest or to stay the night. Niederhosenbach is the name of the small village (less than 300 people), nowadays known as the place of birth from „Hildegard von Bingen“.

  Also we want to start biological vegetable cultivation without the aid of any machine.
  
  Our house is a very musical house. Katja is playing clarinet, saxophone and piano; Andy is singing in an acoustic band; Grosi is singing in a choir and Paul plays soccer & drums and Paula likes riding ...

  Hébergement

  You will stay in the room, which is also used for the pilgrims. In case of an overnight stay - which is not happening very often - there is another room that can be used and there is also a PC with Internet connection.
  Meals are provided in the dining room or outside from the grill. People in this area are „barbecueing“ nearly the whole year through :-)
  If you are a smoker, please smoke exclusively outside!
