On many walks through the Odenwald, we would stop at the Freundschaftstempel to rest and enjoy the view of the Fürstenlager, a State Park from the 18th Century in the style of an English Garden.
Please note the ceremony will be attended only by immediate family and the bridesmaids & groomsmen due to a strict capacity limit set forth by the Park. Your invitation will indicate whether we’ll see you here or afterward, at the Reception! Please feel free to reach out if you’re unsure of where to meet us :-)
