When chucking a sickie becomes way too easy, it's time to escape the daily grind and say hello to Ankum!
It sits 370 kilometres to the west of the country's capital, Berlin.

Make your way over and take in the atmosphere at Lake Ankum.
If you're looking to do some exploring, add a day trip to Recke to your plan. This locality is 20 kilometres to the southwest and is the home of the City Museum and the Alte Feuerwache Ibbenbueren Auto Technik Museum. After some more ideas? Wallenhorst is 25 kilometres to the southeast of Ankum and offers the Heger Tor and St Peter's Cathedral.
The Osnabrueck Castle, Dom Sankt Petrus and Marienkirche are all pretty close to Osnabrueck, 30 kilometres to the south. Need a few more reasons to check it out? Bucksturm and Half-Timbered Houses are not far away either.
'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' George Bernard Shaw once said, but add travel to the mix and it's a match made in heaven. You're invited to merge your two greatest loves by eating and drinking your way around Osnabrucker Land.
A typical meal here tends to include cheese and pork, two regularly used ingredients for which the local area is famous for dishing up.
There's always a local meal or two that you need to sample, and during your stay in Ankum, birnen, bohnen und speck (pears, beans and bacon) is certainly among them. Bratwurst (veal sausage in a bread roll) is another well-loved dish that's bound to make an impression.
If dessert is your thing, we don't think you'll be disappointed. Be sure to try welf pudding (vanilla and wine pudding), a tempting treat that's guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Dedicated travellers often put in some time to memorise a few expressions in the local tongue. You'll find that being able to interact with the local people isn't just useful, it's great fun too! First off the bat, try to pronounce 'Ich heiße ...'. It translates to 'my name is..'. 'Schönen Tag noch!' ('have a nice day') is one more you might need.
If you have the good luck to be in Ankum on the 3rd of October, get ready to have a ball! Unity Day sees many of the locals celebrating this auspicious date.
It's always a shame to say "Auf Wiedersehen" to Ankum, but don't worry, it will still be there next time!
Ankum's closest terminal is Muenster - Osnabrueck International Airport (FMO). When the time comes to pack up your bags and hit the skies, go 45 kilometres to the south.
