Amish Country - Holmes County Rail Trail


Headed back up Rte 39 to Millersburg and back into Amish Country. There is a rail trail we read about so we found the old Millersburg railroad depot which was the trail head. Soon we found that we were going to share the trail with horse & buggys. There was a lane for horses and one for bikes. It was really fun. We saw different types of buggys and the horses were gorgeous. We rode about 5 miles round trip. The trail took us through forest and farm land. There was a trail that lead to a little rest area and we had lunch at "Skips" and then rode back to the depot.

Next stop was the Guggisberg Cheese Factory - home of the original Baby Bell Swiss. Unfortunately it was the weekend and the factory area was closed. However the Cheese Shop was open! Naturally we got some swiss and some jalpena cheese to make nachos with. On the way back we found Hersbergers Truck Patch. It was all fresh vegetables and we picked up 1 zuchini, 2 summer squah and a blueberry pie (home made) for $8! (Try that at home.) The place was really neat. They had farm animals and pony rides for the kids. We saw a 10 day old baby goat. He was really tiny and fluffy. The grandkids would have loved this place!

Hung out at camp as you can see in the photo. Planned the day for tomorrow.
