It´s not that long ago, that you could view English lawn at the city wall in Andernach. Now, fruits, vegetables and herbs are growing there in a variety of colours and organic quality. Instead of “do not enter” its “picking permitted”. Everybody is allowed to harvest and weed. The people behind the project “Essbare Stadt” (engl. eatable city) changed public greenery and parks into agricultural land for everybody. At the beginning, there where 101 types of tomatoes and a lot of enthusiasm. Now, the Andernacher people have access to enjoy multiple fruit and vegetable varieties and appreciate, that they not only, are able to view the green of the city with their eyes, but to taste it with their tongues. Nature is finding its way into the city and with it many forgotten plant and fruits, above all, more quality of life. So, it´s no wonder, that Michelin awarded chefs Sarah Henke and Frank Seyfried as well as host and chef Christian Eckhardt enjoy such an environment.

BRING ON THE WATER
Usually we are not fans of the superlative, but for this next one, we will gladly make an exception. May we introduce, the biggest cold-water geyser: The Andernacher geyser. Every two hours you are able to view an approximately 60m high water fountain which easily can keep up with (hotwater-) fountains at the Yellowstonepark or in Iceland. A spectacle, which you shouldn´t miss and which you can reach within a few minutes from our Hotel. Isn´t this great? We think so, too. And if you are hungry, from your trip, the way back to our Hotel and one of its four restaurants Ai Pero Ristorante, Ai Pero Trattoria, Yoso and PURS, isn’t long.
