This march does not do what I want: it is colt, mostly grey and it rains a lot. In other words, it is not really hiking or bicycling weather. That’s why we decided on a weekend of art. Cinema, a themed tour within the Botanical Garden and an opening are on our programme. We start with Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans
Winter keep its pecker up this year. Even mid march temperatures are still single-digit and snow still falls into the lowlands. Whereas the white stuff only lasts until morning, the Harz allures with the picture of a winter wonderland. By nature, Brocken and Wurmberg secrete for a visit on the weekend, unless you like mass gatherings. Fortunately there are more
One month ago already we booked a weekend trip into the Harz. I wanted snow for the two days. Eventhough I am not a big fan of bitterly cold weather there is nothing more romantic to me than snow-covered Harz. And actually it worked. Just right at the start of the ascent onto the Brocken the scenic landscape of the
Since our childhood they fascinate us: witches. Whether riding a broomstick as the „Kleine Hexe“ does it in the book by Otfried Preußler or wearing a harem costume as „Dream of Jeannie“ from the American TV series – we cannot imagine to live without them. However how quickly one can be denunciated as an „evil witch“ and then be burnt
A hike in the snow is on our wish list. However the weather god has other plans for us and sends us into the „Barumer Moor“. The marshland is located in the middle of the beautiful Fuhsetal. It is limited by the Fuhs, the Eixer border ditch and the marshland ditch and has a size of around 120 acre. In
Women resisting against dictatorship, suppression and unjustness – it has always been. The courageous suffragetes for example at the beginning of the twentieth century who fight for their rights. Then the brave women during the NS regime resisting against a dictatorship. May it be as political prisoner at the concentration camp Ravensbrück or as heroine of a novel, called Charly
It’s been more than three years ago, still I do remember exactly the day of my coronation as Harzer Wanderkaiserin. I was proud on my 222 stamps that I collected over the years hiking. Especially the fact that I mostly used public transport and often hiked for more than eight hours a day. I also do remember that December 20th,
It could be a resolution for the new year: Get out and hike! Maybe that’s what the rambling club of Lutter am Barenberge was thinking of when they errected the sign with the statement above Nauen. But not only New Year’s Day, also the time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve will be bridged in a sportive way. Finally the
Finally they are back, the Drecksclub of Braunschweig. With the slogan “Once upon a time in the dirt” (in reference to: “once upon a time in the west”) the gang renders the West uncertain. Countrystyle and music determine the two-hour show. And like always time flies when you are having fun. After a long lean period finally an evening without
New York 9/11, the terrorist attacks, the collapse of the twin towers. We will never forget those pictures. Especially as we could not image that something like this is possible. But how about the perspective of the others? What is so special about the subheading: “War in times of peace” that Yadegar Asisi added to the title of his exhibition?
