Our long week in Istria and Croatia is over, and we’re heading north to Rothenburg ob der Tauber for a few days of R&R (and packing and laundry!) before Jenean flies back to Sarasota on August 1st. Our final day included a drive through the gorgeous Brenner Pass to Lans, Austria where we overnighted at the lovely Wilder Mann, a new discovery for European Focus. This was Jim’s first stay at this traditional Gasthof and it oozes with “gemutlichkeit,” or homeyness. And, as a bonus, the restaurant is well-known throughout the region for its culinary excellence. We’ll be bringing guests to the Wilder Mann many times in the future.
Our first stay here was in June, 2011 and our second was in late July. Our third will be in middle October.
