Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
The Kloster Bursfelde in Bursfelde, belonging to Hann. Münden, Germany is an old Benedictine cloister dating back to the year 1093 CE. It is today used for meetings and concerts. The buildings are located at the place where river Nieme runs into the Weser. Continue reading “Kloster Bursfelde”
The mill once belonging to the Kloster Bursfelde in Bursfelde, near Hann. Münden, Germany is today well-known to the locals because of the hotel and restaurant located inside. It lies close to the rivers Nieme and Weser and has a terrace with good views on the water (even so it is next to a road). Continue reading “Breakfast at the Weser”
If your looking for a good piece of cake and a hot cup of coffee you might like the Bauernhofcafé Erlenhof in Beverungen, Germany. It is a farm on a hill close to the river Weser where you can enjoy your coffee break or a simple lunch. Continue reading “Erlenhof”
If you want to enjoy good views on river Weser you can get to the Weser-Skywalk at the Hannoversche Klippen between Bad Karlshafen and Würgassen (belonging to Beverungen), Germany. Within the forest high above the river a metal platform has been built on a rock of sandstone. Continue reading “Weser-Skywalk”
Okay, the name of the bistro at the railway station of Hann. Münden, Germany isn’t very creative: I’ve seen many bars and restaurants at railway stations named “track 1“, “Gleis 1” or in this case the French version “voie 1“. But it is good that it is there! Continue reading “Gleis 1”
The city of Hann. Münden, Germany was once an important trading city and the richness gained in these times is still visible through the wonderful buildings in the city center. This situation roots back to the year 1247 CE when the city received the so called Mündener Stapelrecht from duke Otto I. Continue reading “Stapelmahlzeit”
I received some recommendations for an Indian eatery in the center of Göttingen, Germany. At first I was wondering about the name: Bella Bollywood. Now I know it is because they are offering Indian and Italian food – besides the classic Schnitzel and chicken nuggets. Continue reading “Bella Bollywood”
I can’t remember why we started to talk about the supersonic plane Concorde – but after I stated that there is one of these planes in Sinsheim, Germany we immediately searched for an opportunity to travel there and our youngest one started to count the days. As a homebase I booked an away home in the beautiful Schilderhäuschen in Neckargemünd close to the river Neckar. Continue reading “Supersonic”
Driving to Speyer, Germany is always a bit magical: at first you see some trees in front of river Rhein and behind that only some high towers made of red sandstone. They belong to the cathedral of Speyer, the Speyrer Dom officially called Domkirche St. Maria und St. Stephan. It is a UNESCO world heritage site dating back to the year 1025 CE. Continue reading “Dom zu Speyer”
I love to visit zoological gardens and aquariums but I need to exclude Sealife from this. Recently I visited the one at the Legoland in Günzburg and now I took a look at the one at Speyer, Germany. And there are many more on the globe and in Germany. They all seem to look very similar and there is always only one path on which you are pushed through the exhibition.
