Trip with my sister and family 😊
The Lorettohof is simply beautiful. And has a great selection of organic products.
The last time I was in the Wilhelmshöhle was as a child.
She is really very impressive. I recommend reserving tickets. It definitely made sense over Easter, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten a place 😜
