SUMMARY:Christmastime Trip
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy Yuletide in the exciting region of the Ruhr Metropolis by spending a few days on a Christmastime trip. Take in the scents of roasted almonds\, Mandeln\, and mulled wine\, Glühwein\, at one of the famous Christmas markets this year. Whether cosy and nostalgic or larger and more popular\, the choice is vast. Highlights include the world’s largest Christmas tree in Dortmund\, imaginative illuminations in Essen or a woodland landscape in the centre of town of Oberhausen. Even a flying Santa can be discovered in the city of Bochum. \nExperience friendly locals and a warm welcome whilst joining the festivities with joyous folk who speak surprisingly good English. Surely the mulled wine helps break the ice! \nShop too for Christmas presents in the Ruhr region in one of Europe’s largest malls\, where comparatively low prices are offered on many consumer goods. Consider too\, an inspirational visit to the Folkwang Museum or Zeche Zollverein with its Red Dot Design Museum. Or perhaps the Football and Brewery Museums are more to your taste. Enjoy that magical Christmas excursion a mere one hour flight and short onward journey from many of Europe’s airports. Photo: © Ruhr Tourismus.

SUMMARY:Christmas Tree Cutting
DESCRIPTION:TBA! It’s that time of year when many American families follow a delightful tradition in rural regions of the United States. A drive out to snowy woodlands culminates in searching out\, choosing and cutting down a magnificent Christmas tree\, Tannenbaum\, strapping it to the car then transporting it home. \nFortunately for Americans and other expats living in the region\, it is possible to uphold the tradition of felling a Christmas tree in the Ruhr Metropolis too. \nIt would seem that Fir\, Tanne\, and spruce\, Fichte\, trees await to be felled in the rich woodlands of Forsthof Haard at Haltern am See in the northern region of the Ruhr. \nOtherwise\, festive Gut Diepensiepen in Ratingen offers the opportunity to fell your own tree between November 30 and December 22\, Wednesday thru Sunday. Schlosshof Garath welcomes you to cut your own tree on a late Advent Sunday otherwise purchase locally sourced trees from early December. Both allow you to cut personally or will fell the Christmas tree of your choice for you. \nAs anyone who has watched a kitsch seasonal movie knows\, decorating one’s own freshly cut tree is a marvellous experience. The beautiful scent is more intense while less needles are normally dropped. All that remains is to pile the presents around the base\, gather together\, grab some eggnog and read Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. Merry Christmas and enjoy! \nPhoto: © Gut Diepensiepen
