Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
As my birthday was during the time of our stay in Berlin, Germany, I was looking for a special dinner opportunity. I was thinking about some Israeli food at the Neni Berlin, but the restaurant was fully booked during the peak hours. Therefore I was searching on the Internet and found the Italian restaurant Lavanderia vecchia (old laundry) and decided to give it a try. Continue reading “Lavanderia vecchia”
If you’re looking for a beergarden in Hann. Münden, Germany the list of options isn’t too long. If you go a bit north to Hemeln, still belonging to Hann. Münden, there is a well-known and most-frequented one: the Gasthaus ‘Zur Fähre’. Lots of bikers get here on sunny days for a drink, a piece of cake or a #Strammer Max’ (bread with sausage and egg) under old trees. Continue reading “Zur Fähre”
The new Turkish restaurant Istanbul in Hann.

The Istanbul now serves the customers of the Lokanta in the rooms of the former Bollywood restaurant. Continue reading “Restaurant or diner?”
If you want to stay close to Loch Ness the Inch Hotel in Fort Augustus, Scotland might be the right choice. I found it to be a pearl of a hotel in its unique style. It is located outside the town on a small hill with good views on Loch Ness and some Highland Cattle (Kyloe) next to it. It looks a bit old-fashioned on the inside but I really liked this traditional style. Continue reading “Cute & remote”
The Timberjacks is a new restaurant in the outskirts of Göttingen, Germany – close to the Kasseler Landstraße and the Kaufpark. It is like a Cafe del Sol for meat lovers – totally oriented towards people arriving by car. With plenty of parking lots and even though there is a bus stop close-by there isn’t even a foot path to the restaurant. Continue reading “Timberjacks”
When we were at Uslar, Germany and looking for something to eat I remembered that many years ago I was at the local Bergbräu brewery and they had a good restaurant. But I found no information on the Internet. The first search result was a place briefly named Gollart – the locals’ short name for the Landcafé im Gasthaus Gollart. Continue reading “Landcafé Gollart”
There are not too many options for a good breakfast in Hann. Münden, Germany. Apart from the Aegidienkirche and the Stadtcafé you might consider the Flux – Biohotel im Werratal as a good location for that. On each first sunday every month they have a great brunch with a specific motto – and you should definitely book in advance. Continue reading “Brunch at the river”
If you’re looking for a farmer’s market in the center of Kassel, Germany the Markthalle is the right choice for you. It is located in the former Marstall from 1591 – an ancient horse stable.

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”
