As a special overnight stay, you can spend the night in a shepherd's carriage next to our Ferienhaus Handwerkerhof Franconian Switzerland, in the middle of 60- to 80-year-old fruit trees. In front of the car is a wooden terrace 5m x 3m with 4 chairs and a table. An awning spans the area. In front of the wooden terrace is a fire bowl with tripod and grill and a lawn with sun loungers. In midsummer with very long dry seasons open fire is not possible. On the side next to the car is another wooden terrace 3m x 3m including wood and whirlpool screen (use between 10-20pm), exclusively for guests of the shepherd's wagon. The car leads to a small paved path. Parking is available at the Handwerkerhof. The entire Handwerkerhof is a non-smoking house. The minimum stay in a shepherd's car is 2 days.
