Winter snow has arrived

Finally it is here

Drachselsried Dorfplatz covered in snowIf you click on “View” in the top menu bar you will see a photograph that was taken on Sunday 17th January 2016, plenty of  snow. One of the nice things about a Blog is that local information and images can be shown to a great number of people. As Drachselsried is situated in the Nature park of the Bavarian Forest it is a major centre for summer and winter vacations and is home to a growing number of international residents. It has a wonderful climate and most amenities needed for a good lifestyle. You can see what the village has to offer from my local map.

Snow in Drachselsried

The weather is expected to turn colder with temperatures down to -13C. The village has a special machine for producing cross country ski tracks and will be busy the next few days preparing the “Loipe” Other villages do the same, so there are many kilometres of prepared tracks for the daily visitors and hotel guests to enjoy. The downhill ski area on Arber with ski lifts is in full operation, and is only a few kilometers away.
