Lilly and Jamie are the sweetest dogs. They are affectionate, attentive and can be voracious eaters. You would be wise not to leave any food unattended on the dining table. A cooked chicken completely disappeared as did a cake I had baked. No bones, no crumbs. Nada. All gone. The dogs were fine. Ruediger was always easy to contact even though he was overseas. He responded quickly and was very helpful. A few things that are good to know at the start of your sit: 1. Walks the area has many walks. The Spessart is famous for its Brother Grimm forests and for the mushroom hunters amongst you, this is fertile ground. If you are looking for different paths to walk the dogs check out "Spessartwege" on the Internet. Whilst these are well signposted they are not always well groomed. There's a Spessartweg right opposite the house 2. walking dogs off leash/lead do make sure to check with Ruediger what the rules are in the neighborhood. I walked Lilly and Jamie opposite along the asphalted road by the fields and an irate farmer drove up and chided me for allowing to let the dogs run off-lead. Disconcerting. Another day I was stopped by a forest ranger in a truck in the woods opposite the house and also informed that dogs were not allowed off-lead. 3. Shopping Strauss for a great selection of comfortable outdoor clothes at factory prices head to the Strauss outlet store about 12 minutes drive away. They have great wellies. You'll need these if it rains a lot. 4. thermal baths if you like soaking you have two options nearby: Bad Orb and Bad Soden. Do avoid Bad Orb on a Sunday; it can get very crowded 5. Brothers Grimm if you are interested in these fairytale collectors and German linguists, head over to Steinau an der Strasse. While their childhood home does not have written explanations in English, the castle opposite has a comprehensive collections of items from the lives of these two brothers as well as excellent English info panels. 5. fireplace be careful - inside the chimney are two identical-looking flat rectangular stone panels that have a half-circle indentation on one side. These are loose and fall out from time to time. If you find one in the fireplace I suggest you contact Ruediger. Don't discard! A pleasant rural sit.
