Fauxpas at cloister Marienrode

Fauxpas at cloister Marienrode

Due to Corona and its restrictions I go on with the discovery of places around my residence. Today we want to visit the Cisterician cloister of Marienrode close to Hildesheim. The hiking trip afterwards leads us from there through the forest of Hildesheim via lark-, finch- and Gallmountain and back. Immediately at the church of St. Michael we get a

Corona diary: Fracking in Thune

“Well, is this already Dallas?” I think to myself in the face of oil operations, an astonishingly sight that I only knew from American TV series of the eighties having the same name.

Corona diary: The wind tower – al Bagdir

There is a tower on a country road between Groß Gleidingen and Broitzem. The fact itself might not be something special. But for me it is.

(Deutsch) Corona-Tagebuch: Der Wolfi geht um!

In the Oderwald they say: “Do not turn around, the wolf walks abroad!” Otherwise, the joint community is peaceful, however within the forest you have to be beware of the Lupus upon hiking or jogging according to warning signs attached to some trees. In case you are faced with on of those fierce animals you should not run away but
