Ten years in the same country, Merkel spends her vacation here

For the tenth year in a row, German Chancellor Angela Merkel continues to vacation in southern Tirol in northern Italy.

Following the stressful changes in the Ministry of Defence and after its quakes in public expectations, the Chancellor has certainly won its peace by taking several days off.

She and her husband, Joachim Sauer 70, are now spending several days at a hotel in Sulden in South Tylon. Mountain landscapes.

Sulden means in Italian, Solda and is a village of over 400 people in the mountains of Tirol. There the legend of mountaineering Reinhold Messner 74 has created a comfortable place and is raising a herd of livestock. Merkel and Messner have been friends for years.

For Merkel, this village probably radiates something idyllic, he attracts it again and again. The Chancellor likes to wander, Solda seems to be perfect for that.
