"Even if we do not have any concrete figures, the overall impression is quite positive," says Ann-Christine Biesinger of the spa and tourism Überlingen GmbH (KUT). So the rush at the Tourist Information during the long weekend was very large. The first signals confirm the hotel operator and owner had turned out very positive. "Of course, we are optimistic for the season," says Biesinger.
That was not necessarily to be expected. "Normally an early Easter is not so good for business," said the Kut-Marketing Manager. Unlike Pentecost and the summer holidays, for people often well in advance to plan their holiday, the Easter business was dependent on a large number of spontaneous travelers. If the resurrection hard fall early in the calendar, there is a danger that many tourists again prefer skiing in the mountains the getaway on Lake Constance. "Since then has been the weather play and since we really had this year luck."That the business but is not mandatory dependent on the weather, the sales showed in Eisparadies on landing place. Although the sun on Saturday and on Monday significantly more burning, the crowd was there, according to the operators, on Sunday at its greatest.Unlike that looked on the lake.

Seen on the whole Easter weekend, it was over the previous year about 5,000 passengers more.In smaller dimensions because thinks Thomas Held, for its operation, Easter business is of great importance. "Especially the holidays are very important to us. Since we are a large part of the annual business, "said Thomas Held. With some care why he looks ahead also because not only Easter, but also the Ascension and Pentecost, come quite early this year. "For us, it means a longer dry spell until the summer, we have to overcome."

Thomas Weber start in his "Kabirinett" with the All-tourism

rom a small village, the conquest of the moon seen from the extraterrestrial destination. The bizarre laughter and Schmunzelgeschichte, packed with clichés, is told in "Kabirinett" in Großhöchberg.
"No," stresses Thomas Weber, "that's not a misprint." His new one-man piece is actually "Schwäbisch All". In the subtitle, the head of the "Kabirinetts" has immortalized in Spiegelberger district Großhöchberg: "Weber leaves a fly". Actually, it would have to be called correctly "leaves a fly". Because for the start of the lunar tourism old Luckscheitere was selected for a dependent, but not low-maintenance lady. At 384,400 kilometers distant earth satellite which Luckscheitere will naturally bring her walker. They probably will not forget sweeping wiper blade and cutter, especially no luggage fee is charged. Since the last astronaut in December 1972 Eugene Cernan was up there, so no one has made clean.

Großhöchberg that encircled the borders of three counties village is, "for superlatives as created" in Weber's opinion. Were it otherwise, it would mean as the neighboring hamlet, so Kleinhöchberg. After all, Weber, born in 1974 in Stuttgart, 2000, a cultural temple set in a converted modelten Scheuer, whom he calls "Trial Stage in the country". Because there is nowhere like it, he had to invent for its own name: "Kabirinett".

"Schwäbisch All" is the galactic alternative to Dom-Rep to Thai and Milan. Transport is the missile "Alluna 1" screwed together on the farm, transported to the launch site in the meadow with the loader wagon, decorated with Vorhängle and pillows. The balcony is not missing, the journey takes even 16 days. For the crescent there are special offers.

Interest in the all-inclusive change of scenery thanks to "Space Tours Großhöchberg" is very high, learn the amused audience. Thanks to the all-in-one tariff will certainly not tear down the communication connection to the Swabian Forest.

Weber on waiting with a fun mix of puns, profound things and background technical hitches. Two hour pleasure. Because it is a Weber'sches Kulinarstück again, there is also a Swabian food. Perhaps the dishwasher (type "Miele Active SC") has to do with the cooking process.
