Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
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 Europe’s biggest exhibition halls for contemporary art and photography can be found at Hamburg, Germany: the Deichtorhallen. They have been built in 1911 and 1913 and are located close to the city center and the Hafencity. One of them is dedicated to contemporary art, the other to photography – both showing changing exhibitions. Continue reading “Deichtorhallen”
The Café an der Werrabrücke can be found at one of the best locations at Hann. Münden, Germany: from inside you can watch the old stone bridge over river Werra. The area along the river – the Dielengraben – has been redesigned recently and is now home to two outdoor parties (the ‘Dielengrabenfest‘ and the ‘Brückenfest am Dielengraben‘).

Whether or not you like the German Kirmes tradition or not depends on where you grew up. It is quite typical for villages and as I was always living in a city it wasn’t common for me. It typically consists of a fun fair, concerts, a procession of the local associations and bands as well as a breakfast with lots of alcohol in a tent. Continue reading “Groner Kirmes”

If you find your way here you can discover nice flavors of ice cream and they also got vegan sorts. Continue reading “Pinke Kuh”
Many people ride their bicycles along the river Fulda – on longer routes throughout Germany or just as a day trip from Kassel to Hann. Münden, Germany. Therefore you will find some eateries, beer gardens and restaurants next to the water. A special beer garden can be found close to the watergate at Wilhelmshausen, belonging to Fuldatal. Continue reading “Next to the watergate”
Some months ago I saw an article in an international newspaper about Hann. Münden, Germany. Most pictures showed well-known places and buildings of the region, but one left me clueless: a couple riding by bike through a heath. The closest one I knew was the Lüneburg heath – but that wouldn’t belong into that article. Continue reading “Termenei”
There are many reasons to get to Bursfelde belonging to Hann. Münden, Germany: the fantastic cloister, the nice breakfast at the Klostermühle and the nice path along river Nieme through its valley. If you just want a short walk you should try the Klaus-Bahlsen-Pfad around the cloister. Continue reading “Nieme & Weser”
