Zellertal Reisen's new bus

More information on Drachselsried

Drachselsried is an International village

An International Village?

It has been reported in the local paper, following the first meeting with the new Bürgermeister, that there are 46 people from 16 different countries living in area.

Good reasons could be the excellent air quality, or maybe all the resources for a good live style are in the village, or it could be good house prices, or maybe because its one and half hours from Munich Airport.

Whatever, its great to see the village growing and prospering.

Golden October in Drachselsried

The best Golden October

Finally the weather has changed, and one of the best Golden Octobers for many years is coming to an end. The 19th October was one of the super days and many people decided to make the last trip into the Nature Park. Here are some images of a great month.

European Day

European Day 

May 9th is European Day, and as is normal, the European Flag is flown. The vast majority of people do not know there is a day to recognise the European Union, which is why so few flags are seen. At least there is one in Drachselsried.

Cost of petrol varies

Have you ever noticed how the price of petrol varies depending on the time of the day? In Drachselsried we have a Shell station, and over the last few days it has gone from 146.9 to 158.9 cents per litre. This can make quite a difference if you are filling up.

There is now a website that works all over Germany, that shows all the petrol stations within a given Post Code area. The Post Code for Drachselsried  is 94256 and shows petrol stations as far as Regen, so if you are in the area you can fill up at the best current price. Just input the Post Code and the kilometre range, then you have it. A great App.

The website is

Enjoy and have a great New Year.

Drachselsried Rainbow

Drachselsried weather

The weather in Zellertal which runs from Bodenmais to Bad Kötzting, is often very different from the weather in other parts of East Bavaria. Part of this is due to the proximity of the Arber mountain.

Arnbruck and Drachselsried are situated in the middle of the Zellertal along the "Glasstrasse" or the Glass Street called because of the wide range of glass designers and products produced along the route for more than a 100 years.

Sunday 13th October weather

Very strange looking sky, then suddenly it started to rain and the sun came from behind the hills above Blachendorf to produce a wonder rainbow, with intense colours.
