The first question is always: why does one stay in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany? Not the Frankfurt in the heart of Germany, the one with lots of skyscrapers of banks and Äppelwoi, but the one close to the border to Poland. At first it has to be said that even Frankfurt (Oder) has some nice city quarters and a good university – but for me it was only a good stop because on the next day I had to travel early to Bremen for a soccer match.
Being at Frankfurt (Oder) gives you the chance to walk over to Poland – via a bridge crossing the river Oder that is running from the Czech Republic to the Baltic Sea and which forms the natural border between Germany and Poland. I must admit that I was quite disappointed as on the other side in Słubice everything is simply prepared for selling goods, drinking a cheap beer or buying cigarettes. It has nothing of the Polish country that I deeply like.
