You will encounter century-old timber frame at every turn.

The action of dukes, princes and kings has produced sites with outstanding evidence of European cultural history. Experience places that document building history as in a vivid textbook.

Owners and inhabitants as well as towns and communities have perceived the value of historic half timbered work as individual creations of craftsmanship and as unrepeatable contributions to the development of towns and villages. Timber frame is valued and fondly maintained.

Take your time and enjoy the secluded patios, the cosy restaurants and cafés and the various shopping possibilities while strolling around the timber frame towns. From hiking via cycling, riding, golf and aquatic sports up to gliding, a comprehensive offer of leisure facilities awaits you.
