The Huy (pronounced “Hüh”, from Old High German for height) in Saxony-Anhalt is a ridge in the foothills of the northern Harz Mountains. It rises up to 314 meters high and is still largely unknown as a hiking area. However, there are some sights to discover on well-marked geological hiking trails. For example, the Huy-Fallstein claims to be the “largest
After all the tours I have taken in the last few years, I am always surprised that there is something new for me to discover too. Last Sunday we went to Langenstein. I couldn’t believe what there was to discover here. In addition to the cave dwellings, there is a castle and castle park, a concentration camp memorial, the Hoppelberg
This Saturday we are going to Hildesheim again. We meet at the train station, from there we go to the Gasthaus Kupferschmiede. This is where our today’s tour starts. Right at the game gate next to the restaurant we are magically captivated by the goats. The enclosure is an attraction for young families. It quickly becomes clear that the goats
On this Sunday, I had actually planned to go to the Harz mountains, but Mr. Weselsky didn’t want to go:-( So, my friends from the Harz simply came to me instead. In advance, I naturally wondered what I could offer the two experienced and spoiled hikers with a clear conscience. This consideration led me to Königslutter’s magnificent building, the Imperial
Hiking in the Allgäu region has its charm in every season. In spring, the blooming meadows; in summer, the happy cows; in autumn, the colorful foliage; and in winter, the sun. Yes, we had little snow, but plenty of sunshine. Particularly beautiful are the sunrises and sunsets in the clear winter air. It’s fitting that the “aussichtsreich” premium hiking trails
The Four Hills Tournament, which starts every year around the turn of the year and ends in the first week of January, is something I have been following since I was a child. Anyone who has experienced it knows that sporting events live on site are a completely different experience than the Sofaloge could ever offer. For the first time,
It rarely happens, but when it does: snow in the pre-Christmas season. Right on time for the beginning of the Christmas month of December, the white beauty falls from the sky. With a powdery layer on the streets, the Christmas spirit sets in. The Advent season couldn’t start any better. And when on the first of December, it’s said, “Magni
Sylt in November. Gray clouds, rough sea, lots of wind, and rain. That’s how I imagine (late) autumn on the North Sea. But, and this is also part of the truth, in this season, the island exudes a calmness that quickly transfers to me. So, in case the train brings me safely and somewhat punctually – which at least succeeds
I love driving over mountain passes. It is precisely this passion that makes every trip from Germany to Italy an experience for me. No matter whether you go through Austria or Switzerland, the landscapes are breathtaking. Every time I feel like a little child building an electric train for the first time. You know, the great Märklin model trains with
Italy is always worth a trip, almost like a law of nature. Initially, our plans were set for Tuscany and Umbria. However, the drive there is simply too long for a week. Over 1400 kilometers would have been a bit much. Spontaneously, we decided on Lombardy and South Tyrol. An attractive hotel deal lured us to Varese. We intended to
