Right on the doorstep – A culinary day trip to the Swabian Alb

February 12, 2016 by nadel&gabel

Retrospectively I think that it is really embarrassing that I did this only now. It took me 15 years that I am living here to explore what lies right under my nose, to go on a small foodie day trip around the corner. I am far away from being spontaneous, but this time it was a quick decision in the morning, some internet research where I wanted to go … and I was on my way to the Schwäbische Alb (Swabian Alb) planning to visit […]
