Seniors Stop In Eichberg, Switzerland

I have a colleague whose daughter was married in Eichberg, Switzerland in a church founded by her grandmother’s ancestors. Sounded like a neat place to visit, so senior friends, let’s get our coffee and head for Eichberg, Switzerland.

 Eichberg, is a municipality with a population of 1,250. The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Argent an Oak branch Vert with three leaves and two acorns. This is an example of canting, where the oak leaf is a visual pun on the German word for oak (Eichen) which forms part of the village name (lit. Oak Mountain).

Eichberg is first mentioned in 891 with the name of Hermentines. In 1282 it was mentioned as Aichilberch, and in 1290 as Aitberge..

Seniors Love The Swiss Scenery

On your visit to Eichberg, TripAdvisor wants senior visitors to know about a restaurant called Sonne. The locals say “Alles super.” Facebook also suggests the Restaurant Falken is another well worth a visit to appease your appetite.

Eichberg Switzerland is surrounded with dazzling scenery and the entire Swiss population here is generally well educated.

In Eichberg about 68.8% of the population, between age 25-64,  have completed either non-mandatory upper secondary education or additional higher education.

Senior visitors can count on a good conversation with any of the locals. 

Up for a stay in Heiterhof, a farmhouse situated in Eichberg? It offers billiards facilities, a playground and a large terrace with panoramic mountain views.  Lake Constance can be reached within 30 minutes by car.

And then there are two hotels in Eichberg, the Seppi Am Berg and the Schloß Aichberg. If you prefer a B&B like my wife and me, the Landgasthof Holzisberg might fit your needs.

Many tourists enjoy a visit to Bannriet-Spitzmaeder, a nature reserve near Eichberg and is nearby to Montlingerberg, Montlingen and Koblach. If you would like to make a reservation for a hotel stay in Eichberg, Booking.com has several for you to choose from. -jeb
