You don't necessarily have to get on a plane to go on vacation. Holidays in your own garden are cheaper and still comfortable.
The vacation thing is such a problem. Most don't have enough of it, and when they do, the offerings are simply too expensive or certain places are just too crowded. In addition, for many people, a once popular holiday destination is no longer available for safety and moral reasons, but Spanish destinations have become even more crowded and expensive for precisely this reason. So what's left? For a change, how about the holiday resort that is well known and where at most the house cat reserves the sun lounger? Exactly, we are talking about the goals of balconies and gardens. And this report reveals how vacations can be a hit.Cosy garden furniture for a nice time
Staying at home has real benefits. There is no need for endless luggage and fighting with the suitcase zipper, which is definitely too small. Instead, you can think about how the garden or balcony will be equipped. And that's what's great. Because here it is not the disposable air mattress that is selected, but the furniture and the fun factor for the whole year. The garden at home and the balcony are the holiday destinations for every day, always after work and of course at the weekend. So you can spend a little more here so that the private luxury hotel lasts a long time:
- Garden furniture - if you have a garden with a terrace, you are well advised to invest in lounge furniture. The pieces made of rattan or polyrattan also defy periods of bad weather and are simply comfortable. Equipped with cushions, they can be used for resting, sunbathing, but also for celebrating with family or friends. There are also practical seating and loungers for the balcony that leave nothing to be desired. How about a corner seat combination with a seat that can be folded up and a box hidden? On Wohnen.de you can also find interesting wooden garden furniture that creates a special ambience.
- sun protection - so that a real holiday feeling arises, the sun protection must not be missing. awningsor sun sails are very popular, but a parasol with a good base is never wrong. There are awnings for balconies with practical clamping elements, which even a landlord cannot do anything about. Awnings are anchored in the wall if possible.
- Bathing fun - depending on the size of the garden, a pool should not be missing. There are now almost countless models for every budget. For larger pools, however, the pump should not be forgotten, and a cover is essential. Anyone who wants something permanent and is not averse to a garden pond can build a swimming pond. The ponds don't take up that much space and are absolutely sufficient to cool down. Whether pool or pond, after bathing you can simply relax on an air mattress. And what do balcony vacationers do? For them, the good old paddling pool can come into consideration. If the balcony is not enough for this: there are rectangular planters in every hardware store. They are extremely stable, hold several buckets of water and are enough to cool off your legs. Then dry your feet with a microfiber towel and you can enter your apartment again.
- Water fun when you don't have enough space - maybe the garden is already set up in such a way that there isn't much space left? In this case, a garden shower could be something to cool off after all. Otherwise, a fountain cools the eye.
- Barbecue - Of course, a good grill should not be missing on a balcony or in the garden.
Depending on play equipment can be included in the holiday repertoire. There is usually always room for a badminton net, hanging a little higher is perfect for grass volleyball. And if the children want to fly high, a garden trampoline is the means to an end.
Excursions for the spice
Holidays at home also mean that the sun guarantee is not enshrined in the Basic Law and that someone has not eaten their plate. So it's raining. And since probably only children enjoy counting raindrops or jumping around in puddles, a few trips have to be planned:
Badeparadies
In every region there is a swimming paradise for water lovers of all ages within relatively easy reach. This visit should definitely be planned as part of your vacation, because no pool or water fight at home can replace a wave pool, water slides and the tropical experience under the glass roof. By the way, there are also sauna and massage areas here, in whichParents can relax after the little ones play attacks.
Amusement Park
Of course you shouldn't visit them when it's raining, but a visit is always a recommendation. In most federal states there is a more or less large park with a number of attractions.
Cinema
If it's cool and wet outside, go to the cinema.
Climbing Park
The fear of heights doesn't stand a chance here, but somehow the whole family has fun and even grumpy teenagers rediscover their inner child.
Great events in your own garden
Vacation is family time - but doesn't that include friends? Especially this summer, the vacation time at home is really ideal for festivities in the garden. While there may be a need to bribe the female - or non-football-loving - family members, some events should take place:
- Football Party - once during the holiday season, the home holiday paradise was to be misused for a World Cup party. Public viewing with family and friends, right next to the fridge, grill and chip supply.
- Barbecue - it works without football. How about a nice barbecue party with your best friends? After all, the grill master must also be played in 2022.
- Children's Party - maybe the kids have a birthday during the holiday season? Of course, the little ones can also celebrate with their friends and show the adults how to party with the help of the adults.
Most of the possibilities can be repeated in the garden all year round and therefore of course really enjoyed.
Conclusion: Tourist queues? Not this year!
This year there will be no grumpy holidaymakers at the buffet, towel reservations at the pool and Germans where you really don't want to see any. This year the holiday will take place at home and you can set your own rules. However, it cannot be guaranteed at this point whether the deck chair will be taken up by the offspring or the house cat. A holiday in the garden or on the balcony will still be great.
