Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
I didn’t know what to expect when we decided to go to the restaurant “Zum Weserblick” at Hann. Münden, Germany. It is located quite remote at the outskirts of the already remote city quarter Gimte. And the name seemed to be unusual is I read that they are also serving specialties from Sri Lanka. Continue reading “Sri Lanka at the Weser”
I dislike to be at the office on my birthday. That is why we decided to go to the Serengeti-Park at Hodenhagen, Germany. If you grew up at Lower Saxony and your parents listened to the radio you know this place – because of its advertisement which is a catchy tune. Main feature is a safari through different zones of the world with the respective animals that you can do in your own car. Continue reading “Safari by car”
It is known as the Bergwildpark Meißner and as the Wildpark Germerode but don’t be confused: it is only one place. At Germerode, Meißner, Germany you will find a park with wild animals that wait for you getting inside and feeding them. Getting in touch with goats, stags and deer is real fun for children (and yes, for adults as well).
With an allowance of the Bundesopiumstelle a farmer at Meißner–Germerode, Germany has created multiple fields of beautiful opium poppies (containing only a low amount of the drug). You can walk on mulched paths through the poppy fields, learn more about growing poppies and you’ll find numerous photo opportunities.
When leaving the motorway A7 and passing on the Bundesstraße 3 from Hedemünden to Hann. Münden, Germany we observed a small hut in the forest high above the valley of river Werra which must give good views. For a long time we wondered how to get there.

The current Jewish cemetery of Hann. Münden, Germany is located at the city quarter Gimte next to the mountain Questenberg. You have to follow the street Heidewinkel, pass under the old railway track and behind that you can park your car and walk 200 meters up the hill to find it.
The Stadtbäckerei & Konditorei Mengel is my favorite bakery in Hann. Münden, Germany. And that is not only because they produce great rolls and cake or because they have friendly staff – they always donate food for charity events in the city.
It’s a nice idea you can find nowadays in many German cities: people get together on a public place to have breakfast together and collect donations. At Hann. Münden, Germany the Spendenparlament organizes the Bürgerfrühstück and for every table they receive 50 Euros which they use to support projects and organizations within the city.
There are different options to have a good pizza at Hann. Münden, Germany. One of them that the locals prefer for ordering pizza was Carusos Pizza-Eck near the Welfenschloß – there you could also sit inside and eat. In 2018 the owner shifted its business to the river island Tanzwerder and named it Carmines Pizza.
One of the most beautiful views on the rivers running through Hann. Münden, Germany is rather unknown – because it is hidden behind a factory. If you leave the city center and pass under the Pionierbrücke along river Fulda on the Eduard-Wüstenfeld-Weg you can see a spillway where birds rest and search for food.
