I love Hohne and would go back tomorrow if I could!!! I was there for 6 years and left 2 1/2 years ago.

Quarters are mostly flats, I had a 4 bed on the music patch.

thanks life in turmoil are the flats big? I can't believe we have just gone out and bought trampolines and garden toys for the garden here and we won't be able to bring it with us grrrrrrr, such a pain. DH's friends that are out there seem to love it x

The flats are reasonably sized but your washing machine and tumble dryer will be in the cellar. We had a trampoline as did lots of other people. Theyre are a few play parks round the quarters We used to be able to get mwst forms for shopping (you get the tax back 19%) but not on cigarettes or alcohol but those were cheap enough from the naafi. Also you can get permits to go to the American PXs but these are afew hours drive away but well worth the travelling.

Summer holidays we spent in Italy camping at the American base and dirty cheap!! (if its still available I dont know)

Also whilst your out there make use of the free Learn Direct Courses available from the Education Centre.

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

When I found out we were going to Hohne I cried as I had heard so many scare stories saying it was awfull etc but we really really enjoyed it and I regularly go back to visit my German friends.

thank you so much if i have any q's i will pm you ...dh still has 4 weeks left on his current course and i am kind of hoping that the move wont happen that quickly (so i don't need to panic lol)..so can you bring your trampoline out with you then, is there space to put it ?? A friend said i may have to put washing machine in cellar...i thought that was rather strange lol ah well live and learn

Also dont forget to visit Sudsee (man made beach but also has an indoor swimming pool), Serengetti park (safari park and amusements) Heidi Park (theme park) Often the Regiments do days out to these places for reduced entry but Heidi park is deffo worth getting a season pass.
