Regional specialties as part of the stay

Regional culinary ideas can be added to a self-catered holiday apartment: In Grafschaft, a HARIBO factory outlet is mentioned, and in Gelsdorf the wine shop of the 1000 wines by Brogsitter. Opening hours, prices, and current offers should be checked separately before visiting. In the wider Ahr Valley, documented red wine hiking trails are also available as a regional excursion idea.

Which location suits your trip?

When looking for accommodation in Grafschaft, proximity to a single town center matters less than the exact location within the municipality and the planned excursions. Vettelhoven and Lantershofen are named districts of the municipality. Compare the specific location of the holiday apartment with your planned nature, culinary, and Ahr Valley excursions.
