It's hard to miss Amish country once you're there; just look for the horse-drawn buggies and stately old farmhouses. Amish country starts just 30 miles or so away from Cleveland and continues through much of the surrounding area.
Spending a day exploring quaint, naturalist Amish country is fascinating and beautiful. You've truly never seen anything like it.
The great outdoors have never been so pristine. Everything is left largely intact as it was centuries ago, and walking through the woods here can be a surreal and haunting experience.
Many Amish are incredibly kind towards outsiders, and there are even a few Amish-operated restaurants, furniture stores and curiosity shops scattered throughout Amish country.
The Amish find enjoyment in taking things slow and simple. From the lack of modern conveniences to the strong sense of tradition, the Amish way of life might sound strange, but it can rub off on you a bit if you spend enough time exploring.
A horse and buggy driving on an asphalt road with a luminescent sign on the back is a pretty unusual sight, but it will feel like commonplace after spending a day in Amish country.
You'll see a fair amount of beautiful old covered bridges scattered throughout Amish country, and walking across them never ceases to be an unforgettable experience.
Amish country is pretty spread out. Countless farms and family houses dot the countryside, often separated by miles of empty nature.
With all the hustle and bustle of modern city life, the idea of exploring a place like Amish country is even more appealing. Taking some time to slow down and enjoy the simpler things in life and nature is a hallmark of Amish country.
