Why Neuschwanstein?
We understand that "Off the beaten path" travel feels quite cliche, but with local expats living IN Germany ourselves, we know just how to experience famous tourist sites in a more local and authentic way.
We want to show you the beauty of the Bavarian Alps from angles most travelers don't know about.
Some women wonder if they should skip Neuschwanstein Castle on their Germany travels because it might be "too touristy."
But it is a famous destination for a reason- it is a one of a kind marvel!
And what is better than seeing one of the most iconic and beautiful castles in the world world? Doing it WITHOUT all of the other tourists!
Are You Ready To Experience Germany; Off the beaten path?
What is European Sauna Culture?
Many Germans call a Sauna and/or thermal baths a "Spa" but these are not beauty centers. These are places where Germans take their wellness and relaxation very seriously. It is a place where they believe in holistic health for their mind and bodies.
Embracing the European Sauna Culture is a beautiful thing that you can only truly understand by experiencing it for yourself!

Travel & Other Important Info
You will need to arrive at the Munich Hauptbahnhof (main train station) no later than 10am on Friday, Sep 27th. If you are flying in on Friday, please note that it takes about 45 minutes by S-Bahn to get from the Airport to Hauptbahnhof, therefore scheduling a flight the day before may be best
For this particular retreat, there will be one moderate-level hike that is optional. Being able to walk 5-7 miles will be necessary, but we will go slow and easy for all fitness levels.
If you prefer to skip out on any activity on the itinerary for whatever reason, that is your choice and perfectly acceptable.
German Saunas are nude. We will help give you the confidence and encouragement to understand the beauty in this.
Cancellation & refund policy
If you decide to cancel within the first 30 days of registering, I will provide you a 100% refund. After that, there will be no refunds for cancellations, even illness. If you do need to cancel your trip outside of the 30 day window, I will try to "sell" your spot, however that is not guaranteed. In this case, I recommend buying travel insurance to cover your trip.
If unforeseen circumstances or other reasons arise that I need to cancel the retreat, I will postpone the retreat for an agreed upon time in 2025.
Additionally, I will not provide any refunds 60 days prior to the departure of the trip, if you sign up late.
