A tent site in the garden of a residential house, somewhere in the Lower Rhine region between Cologne and Aachen. The description doesn't reveal much more than that, so there's not much more to say here. One thing is certain: camping takes place on private land, in the hosts' garden. Flat farmland stretches all around, field paths run ruler-straight through the fields. It's around 29 kilometers to Aachen, beyond which the North Eifel begins with the Urftsee. In the evening: garden silence.¹
