Are you looking for a simpler way of life? Or just looking for a relaxing vacation getaway? The Texas Hill Country could be the place for you.
Set deep in the heart of Texas, people are attracted to the hill country area because of the lush countryside with its rolling hills and fields of wildflowers. The spirit of "old Texas" lives on with its Mexican influences, softened by the European touch of the Germans who settled here. Enjoy lunch or dinner in a beer garden, taking in the fresh country air, or drive to Luckenbach, made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Visit a lavender farm in Blanco, the many wineries that dot the area, stay at a bed & breakfast. www.hat.org
