We have heard numerous times since we moved here to Germany about the great "Wellness hotels" all around the region that we should try out. However, we never quite understood what exactly a 'wellness hotel' really was or if we even needed to get 'well'.
We planned a long getaway weekend in Bavaria with our friends and
well, wouldn't you know it, we got well. A large part of it was
spending time with our good friends walking in the Alps thru the quaint
town, eating good meals, swimming, listening to the cows with their big ole bells grazing on the mountain side and hearing our kids laughing (and whining)
together. The kids also got well when we ventured out for a day to the
Alpsee Bergwelt

tobbogan run.
It
was much to all our surprise when we finally hopped off the lift to be
greeted by a large playground, trampolines, accordion player and warm
Bavarian restaurant full of regional dishes like homemade Spätzle covered with cheese from the area and Kaiserschmarrn (pancakes which are baked in
a skillet then torn into irregular shapes and then re-fried again,
dusted with powdered sugar and served with either cherry sauce or
applesauce on the side.) Enough said about why the kids ended up "well".

NOW I think I understand a tad better about these highly popular wellness getaway....
Thanks to Sabrina at the '
Sillenbucher Reisebüro', we booked at the
Hotel Allgau Sonne (link) They have many scheduled activities (pilates, cycling, hiking in the Alps etc), massages, saunas, steam baths, a gym with state of the art equipment, various pools, hot tubs, a Physical rehabilitation program if needed, physical trainers, doctors and a complete scrumptious menu full of fresh food from the region. Who wouldn't get well? Heck, I felt good within 5 minutes of checking in and that was before I stepped foot in the restaurant. Even if it was cold and snowy our last day, I do believe I will be back in Bavaria more than often so we can "get well".
