Since families not only come from Germany, they also come from further away like Switzerland, Austria etc, we have checked with some nice guesthouses, hotels and motels, where they can stay overnight, if they want to stay for the whole weekend.
Please make your reservations way early, so there will be enough room for everybody. The dogs are allowed in the rooms also.

Last year most families had the same color of T-Shirts on with the name of the dog printed in the back and the home town from each owner printed in front. We would love to wear T-Shirts like this again. Any copy shop will print T-Shirts like this.
Since the owner of the Restaurants like to know the number of people to expect for lunch, coffee and dinner that day, we have to ask you to let us know no later then the 15th of June 2007, with how many people each family will join us on this trip. Just write a short email to us.
We hope, that many families can join us on that day. I am sure,
it will be a special day to remember. Imagine to spend a day in such a beautiful area
surrounded by many nice people with their beautiful longhair German Shepherds.
