ZERSEN 2011 FAMILY REUNION

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Reunion Dates: July 21-24 at the Pappmuehle in the Village of Zersen, Germany

 

The Pappmuehle has been a restaurant and hotel (Gasthaus) for over 100 years.

It is set in idyllic pastures on one side of the village of Zersen just beneath the famous Hohenstein (last high cliff in northern Germany). Germans love to come here for a week, enjoy the traditional food specialties of the area and hike in the forests and mountains surrounding the place. It is one of those places you would never find on your own, but will gladly recommend to friends.
