I noticed off ZDF news (Channel Two, public TV) an interesting report today.
There's something being created by the SPD-Green-FDP government....called "Corona Time-Out for Families".
The deal? So much stress in your life over the past two years....you deserve a break (vacation).
So, if you are a low-income family or have a member who has a disability....the German government is offering up a fund of 50-million Euro for a free vacation.
Basically, you come up to the government with a trip idea that costs X-amount (they have the list and these are all low-cost places to start with). They will pay 90-percent, while you pay 10-percent.
Trip has to be within Germany? Yeah.
Limit of seven days? Yeah.
Used a lot so far? What they say, for the last 3 months of 2021.....4,000 situations were covered. So there's still a ton of money left in the pot.
High cost prices? NO. This is for what you'd call a traditional German hostel situation....quiet wooded area with a family room, basic breakfast deal, etc. All you are doing is saying you were stressed out because of Covid, and you need a little trip to recharge your batteries.
