Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
Every time I get to the Karlsplatz in Kassel, Germany I remember that this city has some nice hidden places you normally don’t get to. And next to it in the backyard of the CineStar cinema you can find a sushi restaurant that seems to be less frequented than the others in the city center. Continue reading “Two and a half hours”
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”
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”
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”
While I was on my way to the Neptunbad in Köln, Germany I found a Turkish eatery where people seemed to have good food on their plates and I decided to return after relaxing at the spa. Then I learned that Damla (a Turkish female name by the way) is a Baklava store – and the delicious warm food only an addition. Continue reading “Baklava & more “
I should name this post ‚The Great Currywurst Exodus of Cologne’. Last time I was at the Domstadt I enjoyed a restaurant that served different variations of high-quality Currywurst. As it is closed now I searched for alternatives but all entries in different recommendation lists were also closed. What’s happening here? Continue reading “Chasing Currywurst”
There aren‘t too many old buildings in the center of Kaiserslautern, Germany – but there is one very nice old house. This oldest half-timbered house was first mentioned in 1742 but a stone states the year 1509 as its creation year. From 1896 on it contains a wine bar called „Spinnrädl“ (meaning spinning wheel in the local dialect) which is today a famous restaurant. Continue reading “The Spinnrädl”
The TINTO is a nice tapas and wine bar in Nürnberg, Germany. It is located next to the railway museum of Deutsche Bahn and it also has an entrance from there. While you would drink some nice wine and snack some tapas in the evening they are well prepared for families with kids on the rest of the day. Continue reading “Tinto”
