erstin Bergstraesser hails originally from Pfungstadt. Her vocation as a curative educator, caring for individuals with disabilities, is not just a job, but a source of immense joy and a cornerstone of her life. Since 2003, Kerstin has been dedicatedly serving at the Nieder-Ramstaedter Diakonie in picturesque Muehtal (Odenwald region). This commitment led her to make Nieder-Ramstadt her home in 2005.
With its enchanting landscapes, the Odenwald region has captured Kerstin’s heart. She finds solace and adventure here, from invigorating hikes to exploring local attractions and spending quality time with friends. A special trip to her tattoo artist in Reichelsheim offers the perfect excuse to immerse herself in the breathtaking scenery of Odenwald.

What Kerstin cherishes most about Odenwald is its harmonious blend of nature’s wonders and a rich tapestry of cultural events throughout the year. There’s never a dull moment, from medieval markets to the vibrant country fair in June, the lively bee market, and the festive Christmas markets.

Despite her appreciation for the serene beauty of Odenwald, Kerstin values her proximity to the city of Darmstadt. Nestled next to Muehltal, it strikes the perfect balance. Here, she relishes the best of both worlds – the city’s cosmopolitan offerings and convenient connections, and the serene rural charm that Odenwald so generously provides.

For any young adventurers venturing into the Odenwald region, Kerstin’s must-see list includes the awe-inspiring Rodenstein ruins, the majestic Breuberg Castle, and the formidable Schnellerts Fortress. There’s a wealth of history waiting to be uncovered! And when winter blankets the region, the air is filled with the magical aura of Christmas markets. From the quaint charm of Erbach to the festive cheer of Michelstadt, from the idyllic setting in Lindenfels to the enchantment of Lichtenberg, each market offers a unique experience, bound to warm the heart.

With every passing season, Kerstin’s connection with Odenwald grows stronger, woven with memories of its beauty, warmth, and the vibrant tapestry of its cultural offerings.
