(Deutsch) Golden autumn at the Südsee and at the Westpark

(Deutsch) Golden autumn at the Südsee and at the Westpark

The proverbial “Golden Autumn” this year keeps luring me outside. I no longer leave the house without my phone. There are too many beautiful motifs in the finest autumn colors, illustrated by a warm and low-hanging autumn sun, playing before my eyes. It is fascinating how the colorful leaves still hanging on the trees change the cityscape, the parks, and

My Chanel Hat

My Chanel Hat

October is being so kind to us this year that I often feel drawn outside. Again and again, I’m fascinated by what there is to discover in nature. Right in the Western Ring area, directly by the Ringgleis, stands my Chanel hat! In all its glory, it stands upright on the green grass, surrounded by colorful leaves. I’m so delighted

No beer available on the Thekenberg

No beer available on the Thekenberg

Ever heard of Harsleben? No? Me neither before now. Yet, it’s worth keeping this place in mind. Why? Well, that’s where the Thekenberg is. However, to be fair, there’s no beer on the Thekenberg. But if you keep hiking towards Halberstadt, then, yes, there are a few more highlights waiting for you: the Fünffingerfelsen (Five Finger Rock), the Klusfelsen, the

Autumn hike near Ilsenburg: A paradise of fly agaric mushrooms

Autumn hike near Ilsenburg: A paradise of fly agaric mushrooms

I have been to Ilsenburg several times already. It really is a charming little town in the eastern Harz with lots of flair. However, what we encountered this time in the Harz National Park, and especially in such quantities, really surprised us. Closed due to overcrowding To start, we couldn’t find a parking spot in the Ilsetal on this Sunday

When the Dentist Hurts Less Than Dating

When the Dentist Hurts Less Than Dating

It’s a balmy late summer evening in New York – or let’s say Braunschweig – when I suddenly find myself in a situation so bizarre that it could have almost been romantic… if it weren’t for the question of trust and a blind date looming over everything. It all starts with a photo. A harmless photo, taken in front of

Lichtparcours 2024

Lichtparcours 2024

It’s getting dark earlier again. I had just seemed to get used to the long evenings, and now they’re over again. However, this means that this year’s light trail can be planned earlier. On a very mild (still-) summer day, it begins at 7:30 pm in the Bürgerpark. Twilight has just set in. It is already dim enough to admire

Roßkopf and Markbachjoch: A Lived Dream to Conclude

Roßkopf and Markbachjoch: A Lived Dream to Conclude

If we had followed the weather forecast, this last hike would never have taken place. Originally, rain and thunderstorms were predicted for the entire day. But, the weather gods were kind to us even on the last day. With our Alpbachtal Card, the ride on the Markbachjochbahn is free. So, we headed once again to Wildschönau. This time, however, we

Kragenalm and Kundler Klamm

Kragenalm and Kundler Klamm

Since the last hikes were quite strenuous, partly due to the humid and warm weather, we want to take it a bit easier today. Today’s destinations are the Kragenalm and the Kundler Klamm. But, as is often the case in the mountains, even a seemingly short distance can be more challenging than expected. Comatose on the Reflection Trail We start
