Minunat amplasată la marginea pădurii, oferind liniște și intimitate, proprietatea este bine dotată din toate punctele de vedere. Ne-a impresionat Ăźn mod special dulapul cu mirodenii din bucatarie. Pacat ca locuim atat de departe de Lichtenberg, altfel ne-am intoarce in fiecare an sa ne petrecem vacanta aici.

SpÀtsommer....

.... Lichtenberg. Zuerst: Das Objekt entspricht vollstĂ€ndig der Beschreibung. Es war tiptop sauber und ist vollstĂ€ndig ausgestattet. Ein Eierkocher, aber das ist auch das einzige, was ich mir wĂŒnschen könnte. Die Lage ist sensationell ruhig. Da in Lichtenberg selber nichts einzukaufen gibt, bis auf einen guten BĂ€cker, rate ich mit dem Auto anzureisen. Unsere Highlights waren eine Wanderung am Ochsenkopf und eine am Döbraberg. Kronach, Kulmbach und Bayreuth sind ebenfalls einen Abstecher wert.

Perfekt! Die sehr gute Kommunikation mit dem Verwalter war prima, uns wurde alles bestens erklÀrt. Die Ausstattung des Objektes war gut durchdacht, wir haben nichts vermisst. Sehr gut in Erinnerung sind unsere morgendlichen SpaziergÀnge mit unserem Hund zum nahegelegenen See. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
