Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
Hidden in the forest between Hemeln and Glashütte belonging to Hann. Münden, Germany you can find the ruin Bramburg. It dates back to the 11th century CE and today you can see the well-preserved donjon and some rests of the walls. You can’t enter the building but it is nice to explore the area and the forest surrounding it. Continue reading “Bramburg”
Most tourists go to the Landungsbrücken at Hamburg, Germany to get some hanseatic flair. If you’re looking for a good alternative just go to the Fähranleger Neumühlen by ship or car. Then you can have old ships at a harbour, moving container cranes, the river Elbe, giant sea vessels, a sandy beach, bars and rolls with fresh fish. Continue reading “Elbufer”
The Sporthalle Hamburg is a multifunctional indoor arena for different kinds of sports in the north of Hamburg, Germany. I guess it is very good for sport events – but we came there for a concert of George Ezra supported by Ten Tonnes. It will not become my favorite concert location as the sound and the air ventilation weren’t good.
If you need a bistro or bar in the north of Hamburg, Germany near the airport the BRABAND Bistro & Wein might be your choice – it is located directly at a bridge leading over the Alster. We went there because it was located between our hotel and the Sporthalle Hamburg. Continue reading “Alster bar”
The Motel One Hamburg Airport is a classic Motel One hotel with its unique style. It is located close to the airport of Hamburg, Germany and is therefore probably most often used by travellers. We chose this hotel because it was one of the closest to the Sporthalle Hamburg where you can watch sports and concerts.

One of them is dedicated to contemporary art, the other to photography – both showing changing exhibitions. Continue reading “Deichtorhallen”
The Cala Monte Turnu beach is a sandy beach at Castiadas, Italy – in the southeast of Sardegna, named after the mountain next to it. After a very short steep section it is pretty flat and good suitable for children. You’ll find parasols, sunloungers and a beach bar there, but you can also rent a boat or join a boat tour. Continue reading “Cala Monte Turnu”
High above the beach of Porto Giunco at Villasimius, Italy you can see an old Spanish tower made of stone which isn’t in best condition. It is a fortification from the 16th century protecting the bay. You can’t enter it but it’s location gives you great views on the coast line around it. Continue reading “Torre di Porto Giunco”
If you go to the southeastern end of Sardegna you’ll reach the Capo Carbonara located near Villasimius, Italy. It is a nice area obviously mostly used for tourism. There you will find several beautiful beaches that invite you to some hours at the shore. Continue reading “Capo Carbonara”
A special flora and fauna awaits you on the tableland called Giara di Gesturi. Wonderful macchia and cork oak trees that are covered with moss and plats can be seen, flat lakes called pauli and 600 rather shy wild horses that live freely on the area – accompanied by sheep, wildcats and pigs.
