The new year has begun, and so has winter. Everything is now covered in snow and ready for your winter wonderland. Enjoy the white landscape on walks, hikes, and tours around Rachel and Lusen, perhaps also the gorge in Spiegelau or the Neuschönau animal enclosure in the national park, or maybe soon while cross-country skiing or downhill skiing.
