Früchte-Jähne a Food Lovers Paradise

On a bustling corner in Schliersee, directly on B307 at the traffic light with Tengelmenns and the Intersport, you will find a Schliersee tradition. For 33 years, 2 generations of the Jähne family have provided Schliersee and it’s many visitors with an amazing array of fruits and vegetables. From the ordinary to the exotic.  And […]

Schwammal (Schwammerl) in Schliersee Time

As a companion piece to my article on Früchte Jähne, Schliersee’s produce paradise, I wanted to share an incredible simple recipe that you can even make on a camp fire while out on a hike.  Especially if you were to make your crepes ahead of time and roll them up around a paper towel tube […]

Almabtrieb “When the Cows Come Home”

Here it is again, that magical time of year filled with cowbells and fancily festooned farm animals. It is the Almabtrieb season once more. It feels like only yesterday the local cows danced out of the barns after a long dark winter to head up into the lush green pastures high upon the mountaintops. Almabtrieb […]

Alt-Schlierseer-Kirchtag

On 7 August early in the morning about 8 am on the Fischhausen side of lake Schliersee you will find a bustle of activity.  Historic hand carved wooden boats being festooned with boughs of colorful flowers and grasses.  Many fingers moving at a rapid pace to get all the boats beautified before the begin their tour across […]

Marlenes Bistro Schliersee

Located on the B307 just before you reach Fischhausen is a rustic […]

Elderflower Syrup

I am a huge fan of free fun and at this time of year there are plenty of delicious free treats to discover in and around Schliersee.  One such bit of fantastic foraging fun is to make your own elderflower syrup to be savored for the rest of the year.  Imagine having the taste of […]

I grab my kayak

Part of my great plan when making the move to Schliersee was to become once more healthy and physically fit.  It was the choice to make moving in the beautiful landscape a priority not just for me but for my family as a whole. This year on my birthday I added kayaking to my movement […]

Alpen-Triathlon

On a particular torrentially rainy summer Sunday in June, the roads, lakes and mountain sides were taken over by an army of beautifully functioning human machines.  Have you guessed yet what my overly dramatized description might be about?  Yes, on this day the Schliersee Alpen Triathlon was held.  The whole event was an amazing array […]

Dandelions

Many years ago when I first came to Germany, I arrived with a suitcase full of my American ideas.  My mother, a consummate gardener, perceived the golden yellow blossom of the Dandelion flower as a mortal enemy.  “It just one is let to survive, the entire yard is ruined”.  So she spent many hours of […]
