Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
It was spring and the weather started to get better and more sunny. But then over night temperatures dropped and we woke up with a lot of snow in front of our hotel windows. For this day we had decided to go to the Biosphäre in Potsdam, Germany and that was a really good decision. It is a huge greenhouse with tropical plants, animals and tropical temperature.

The Trattoria Olio is a wonderful place in Dallgow-Döberitz, Germany we just found because of the fact that the restaurant we wanted to visit was closed. Getting here was a really good alternative: a modern Italian restaurant with a good menu and very friendly staff. Continue reading “Trattoria Olio”
Little Big City Berlin is a miniature world telling the history of Berlin, Germany. It is located in the basement of the Fernsehturm (entrance on the back side) and I was a bit unsure whether this is a good place to visit. That was mostly because they have a too good marketing concept which made me suspicious. Continue reading “Tear down this wall”
The Fernsehturm of Berlin, Germany is visible from nearly everywhere in the city. And if you want you can get easily by elevator into the giant ball in the sky and watch the German capital from up above. Until today I didn’t meet too many locals or foreigners that went up – but now we tried this experience. Continue reading “High above Berlin”
The restaurant Yak & Yeti is located at the Südwestkorso in Berlin, Germany. In a plain and simple atmosphere they serve good Indian and Nepalese food. That is good because in addition to the well-known Indian cuisine you have interesting Nepalese dishes. Continue reading “Yak & Yeti”

The Düsterer Kellerbrunnen in Hann. Münden, Germany is just a small well where water comes out of a plastic tube that runs into river Werra. But it is the perfect destination for hiking on the Blümer Berg – because volunteers together with trainees and the local Bauverein (a housing corporation) created a nice hut there. Continue reading “Düsterer Kellerbrunnen”
An artist you can’t overlook when walking through Hann. Münden, Germany is the sculptor Heinz-Detlef Wüpper. He was born there in 1911 and died in 1995. His work Mundenia (“Die Schauende“) was placed at the Landschulheim in Pelzerhaken, Germany at the Baltic Sea. When the country hostel was closed in 2011 it was given back as a gift to Hann. Münden and can now be found at the Bremer Schlagd close to the city center. Continue reading “Local artist”
