The dragonfly brothel of the Silberteich

The dragonfly brothel of the Silberteich

A saying goes: each to his own. In other words, anybody shall live and act as one think best. But how about if the behaviour breaches the public order? That’s what we experienced last sunday between Braunlage and Sankt Andreasberg. Sexually explicit dragonflies copulate free and easy at the shore of the water. Every ancient Roman brothel would pales besides

Six peaks at Bad Hindelang

Six peaks at Bad Hindelang

The Allgäu is a hikers’ paradise. The village of Bad Hindelang (825 a.a.) located in the Upper Allgäu is a great starting point for mountain hikes. We climb six peaks in a weak. Thereby we enhance our performance from 1.456 metres to 2000 metres. Next to the Hirschberg (1.456), the Spieser (1.651), the Imberger horn (1.656), the Iseler (1.876) and

Modern tales: Between villains, dominance and pain

Modern tales: Between villains, dominance and pain

The BBK Kunsthaus currently shows the exhibition “Modern Fairy tales”, i.e. classic pieces of art newly interpreted by Friedhelm Kranz. The show is not fantasy but magical. The way Kranz displays his acts is extraordinary. Works and art forms of other artists are copied and manipulated. And maybe they are also, that’s my thought, newly interpreted. For that the works

The colourful fishes of Stralsund

The colourful fishes of Stralsund

Stralsund is the pearl on the doorstep of Rügen. With its historical centre, the well preserved city wall and the ocean museum Ozeaneum the Hanseatic city is really attractive. Even though the weather is quite rainy and windy today, we still enjoyed the guided city tour. A visit to the ocean museum might be a must. However my recommendation is

The coast cycle path of Usedom

The coast cycle path of Usedom

Usedom is the second biggest island of Germany. It is connected to the mainland by a bridge. Travellers can reach Usedom by car, train, by bike and also by foot. When I think of Usedom the prominent piers come into my mind. I also think of the magnificent buildings of the former centuries which decorate the so called emperor baths
