Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
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.

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.
The traces of Jewish life at Hann. Münden, Germany are quite hidden. That is because of the fact that since the Nazi times there is no active community in the city, it has been fully destroyed by fascism. You can find a memorial near the old town hall and two cemeteries.
The Wilhelmsplatz is a central place in Göttingen, Germany with nice green areas. It is named after emperor Wilhelm I. and a statue of him is standing there. The place is surrounded by important buildings of the Georg-August-Universität: management offices, the Aula am Wilhelmsplatz used for academic events (and also containing the former student jail) and on the other side the old student restaurant can be found.
