The B&B Hotel Göttingen-City is a new hotel near the center of Göttingen, Germany and it was the first hotel I booked at my birthplace – for my bachelor party. It is located at the old railway freight area on the grounds of the former turning platform; maybe that is also the reason for its round shape. Continue reading “Drehscheibe”
I don’t know too many reasons to get to the small town of Uslar in Germany. It is not the most beautiful place on earth but it offers one speciality you don’t see that often: a butterfly park. From April to October you can be surrounded by huge tropical butterflies and enjoy another climate zone: the place was heated at the time of our visit to 29 degrees Celsius.

The Wald- und Abenteuerspielplatz Kattenbühl is a playground in the forest close to Hann. Münden, Germany – near the road exiting the city quarter Kattenbühl and going to Laubach.

The restaurant “Franks Piraterie” is one of these places I normally wouldn’t go to. It is part of the camping area in Dransfeld, Germany not far away from the outdoor swimming pool of the city. Why to go there? The place was originally named “Tortes Inn” and had mainly the campers as guests. Continue reading “Officially pimped”
