Summer time is garden time. The wonderful idea of an „open garden gate“ is not only offered at Braunschweig but also at Hildesheim. Such an oasis was presented last sunday by the couple Lagershausen. Lucky enough the garden visit could be combined with a marvellous hike starting at the parking lot Glashütte. Additionally the weather was also nice. After a
If it is really hot in town it is a good idea to visit the Harz Mountains. However that does not always work! We tried our luck in the mining town Altenau. Even though we are walking alongside the Okerstausee (barrier lake) and hike in the Kellwassertal the scorching heat is almost killing us. The climb up to the Ochsenberghütte
Also the Ringgleis has its history. This Saturday it is told in a different way. Hans-W. Fechtel, an engineer, reports with the help of Wolfgang Henschel, the former head of the Brunswieck Westbahnhof, about the changeful history of the Brunswieck railway. The guided tour is offered as a part of the programme „Braunschweiger Spaziergänge 2023“ under the patronage of the
Asparagus, the long, slim vegetable is today’s topic. During an urban quarter guided tour Volker Abrolat, a guardian of the cultural heritage, revives the history of Rühme. The former village looks back on a long tradition. The first documented mention dates back to the year 1007. The first settlers established themselves in the common reed – nobody knows why. Even
There is something going on in Brunswieck – culturally. First of all there were the musically and artistically highlights of Buskers in May this year and secondly of the „Kulturnacht“ on June 17th. This weekend comes the next coup, the #kunsttour23. At last the bohemian way of life comes into one’s own. It is just now that I realize how
Eloquent, entertaining, good looking, successfull: that is Danny Morgenstern on the 14th Brunswieck Culture Night at the Astor Cinema. Morgenstern is not fameless at all. Actually he is known as THE James Bond expert. Even the Universal Studios, he tells us by the way, contacted him in order to market the latest Bond movie „No time to die“. And well,
The most characteristic thing at the Algarve are the fantastic beaches and rock formations to me. Especially between Sagres and the Percorso dos Sete Vales Suspensos (the path of the seven hanging valleys) it is the erosion of the rocks that fascinates me time after time. At the cliff line I come across yellow, red and terra-cotta coloured stratums –
I visit Portugal not for the first time. But the Algarve. However, I did not know that this beautiful spot is the second home to many English. Albufeira is the British pendant to the Ballermann of Mallorca. Despite the nightlife district of Lagos, Carvoeiro and Albufeira there is still some culture to be discovered at the coast line. Whoever is
The beautiful Algarve is not only a paradise for beach lovers and partygoers. Nature lovers like me will also be pleased. Actually „hot“ countries like Spain, France, Italy or Portugal are rather known for ists sparse landscape. However, the Portuguese Coast surprises me. My flora-app is a big help here and is very busy. There a many for me unknown
This is a warning for every foreigner who dares to use the Deutsche Bahn as a means of transportation. It can be hell! First of all you will notice that it is fucking expensive. Compared tot he ticket price you will realize that the service is poor (if there’s any). But most of all the train connections are horrible. It
