Liebherr Customer Days 2024 treated to some local music, a little karaoke and great company by several different people in the crane industry.
Monday, I woke up to a foggy morning covering up the beautiful view. It was almost as if Mother Nature was telling us that it was time to move on from Austria and continue our adventure elsewhere
After a two-hour drive, we arrived for a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. Due to a little confusion, we ended up“ accidently” taking the trail that caused for a bit of a strenuous hike up to the castle, but once we arrived, we couldn’ t have asked for better weather or a better view. The castle is fairly small inside, so it was a short tour, but it was a great opportunity to do a tourist activity while in the area.
And, although some people complained about the hike up to the castle, personally I enjoyed it— it was a great way to burn some of the calories we had all been treated to in Austria!
Monday afternoon we checked into our final hotel of the customer days— the
Maritim Hotel in Ulm. Now, don’ t get me wrong, it’ s a super nice hotel and nicer than most places I have ever stayed at, but compared to the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol, it was like checking into a Motel 6!( I may have exaggerated slightly.)
Monday night, we all gathered again for dinner at a neighboring hotel. At this point in the trip, you can really begin to tell that everyone has started to familiarize themselves with one another, and it’ s obvious that people are beginning to become more comfortable around each other.
Tuesday was the big day! It was when everyone gathered at Liebherr’ s Ehingen- Berg’ s new repair center. According to Liebherr, over 3,000 guests attended Tuesday’ s festivities, which also celebrated the company’ s 75th anniversary( Liebherr was founded in 1949 by Hans Liebherr).
Unfortunately for me, I didn’ t get the memo that I needed to pack an insulated jacket! This day’ s event was held mostly outdoors, and, of course, it was the coldest day of them all— it was breezy and below 50
The festivities ended with an amazing drone light show.
Waiting for the highly anticipated crane show to begin.
