Kitchener B&B Guide SouthWestern Ontario
Visit the vibrant twin cities of Kitchener and Waterloo, home to two leading universities, a symphony orchestra and as a centre to the surrounding Mennonite religious farming communities.
Kitchener, formerly named Berlin, has a unique heritage of both German and Mennonite origins and is host to the industrious and hardworking plain folk, the Amish people. Horses and buggies are frequently seen as you travel the byways and side roads in the area and you can tour Mennonite farms by trolley or horse and buggy to find out more about their interesting way of life. Another group of Mennonites has recently arrived in the Aylmer area following the harvest. Here you can enjoy their farmers markets featuring baking, handmade rugs and quilts reflecting a time in history where goods were homemade and of enduring quality. Also you’ll find activities and the atmosphere of the Maple Syrup Festivals celebrations that this community has embraced. Visitors can enjoy a wealth of activities throughout the year, from hiking on the Walter Bean Grand River Trail to a premier fishing spot on the Grand River, or in the winter months downhill skiing is available.
