Hopfen.png

Tettnang, just 15 kilometers from Villa Noho, is widely known as the "Hop City." At Hopfengut No 20, an estate situated on the hills above Tettnang, visitors can experience the art of brewing up close. The Hopfengut combines hop cultivation, a brewery, and a museum.

A visit to the Hopfengut in autumn and winter is definitely worthwhile, especially for the diverse programs such as "Brewer for a Day" or "Beer Culinary Tour," offered until December.

The Abbey Library of St. Gallen is one of the oldest and most significant libraries in the world. Its valuable collection of books reveals the development of European culture and documents the cultural achievements of the St. Gallen Abbey from the 8th century until the dissolution of the abbey in 1805.

Another impressive destination is the Principality of Liechtenstein, which is often not necessarily considered when thinking about a vacation at Lake Constance. Nevertheless, the principality could be regarded as the ultimate gourmet region. With just 160 square kilometers of land, Liechtenstein has the highest density of gourmet restaurants per capita worldwide. Due to the foehn effect, excellent wines also thrive on the south slopes of the mountains in the Rhine Valley, and more than 100 winemakers produce exquisite drops that can be sampled, for example, at the princely Hofkellerei in Vaduz. Local beers and Liechtenstein gin complement the offerings, and the unique mountain landscape not only provides breathtaking views for enthusiasts but also extraordinary experiences. A recommended day activity would undoubtedly be experiencing spectacular outdoor swings along the Swinging Path with a breathtaking view! 😉
