I was walking through Hahndorf today, and it cheered me up right away. Before I was feeling hot and slightly sick, but a walk through Hahndorf made me feel more lively. There's something special about that crowded, little German town. My favourite places to visit in Hahndorf would be the German Cake shop, the sweet shop, and Ye Old Ice creamery. I also like wandering up and down the footpaths with my dog, just looking at all the cute, little and kitsch shops that are lined up on the sides of the streets.
Ye old Ice creamery is an ice cream shop mainly, but it also sells sorbet, waffles and hot dogs. I like the ice cream best though. My favourite flavours would be the Dutch Chocolate and the Boysenberry. I would also recommend trying their waffles and their mango sorbet. Ye Old Ice creamery is a very cute little ice cream shop, and definitely worth a visit.
The German Cake Shop is down a little street, and has the best Bee stings (Bienenstichs) in the world. A Beesting is a delicious cake that has a delicious, thick, custardy type of yellow cream in the middle, and the actual cake is an orange colour, with crumbly stuff on the top. This cake is called a Bienenstich in German. The German Cake Shop also have some delicious chocolate cakes that are one of life's greatest
pleasures.
Now for maybe my favorite of them all, the Hahndorf Sweet Shop. It is a very cute building, made in the traditional German style. The shop itself is like a huge treasure chest full to the brim with sweet eatables. My favourite thing there is the fudge, the mixed selection chocolates, and the lollipops. the fudge is amazing, a must try. There are lots of different flavours of chocolates, and you can pick as many different flavours as you want. my personal favourites are the mint, the cherry and the caramel. the lollipops are amzing, ranging from minuscule, to as big as your head! We all know that size doesn't mean quality, but the lollipops do taste great as well as being awe-inspiringly huge!
Hahndorf is also the perfect place to walk your dog, wandering along while window shopping. Many cafes have waterbowls for dogs, so your dog will be happy as well.
Now you know my experience with Hahndorf, maybe this will get you to try out my favourite places in Hahndorf! Happy sweets shopping!
