The Café am Sandmarkt is a small coffee bar in Hann. Münden, Germany next to the old bridge over river Werra. From the outside the building rather looks like a butchery but inside it is decorated with old furniture. Don’t worry if it looks full – there is a second room in the back.

The Pamukkale is my favorite kebab restaurant in Hann. Münden, Germany. Named after the famous region in Turkey the small eatery serves traditional döner. It doesn’t look too beautiful from the outside but the owner is very friendly and there are comfortable seats like in a US diner. Continue reading “A break at Pamukkale”
Hann. Münden, Germany has a lot of bridges in different styles. If you’re walking from the city centre to the Tillyschanze you will first pass a roofed bridge leading you to the Tanzwerder – an island within the river Fulda and containing the famous Weserstein. Continue reading “Don‘t jump”
If you want to buy presents in Hann. Münden, Germany then the Tee & Weinhandel Beuermann is a good choice. It is a very narrow shop in the center of Hann.

The mill once belonging to the Kloster Bursfelde in Bursfelde, near Hann. Münden, Germany is today well-known to the locals because of the hotel and restaurant located inside.

Okay, the name of the bistro at the railway station of Hann. Münden, Germany isn’t very creative: I’ve seen many bars and restaurants at railway stations named “track 1“, “Gleis 1” or in this case the French version “voie 1“. But it is good that it is there! Continue reading “Gleis 1”

This situation roots back to the year 1247 CE when the city received the so called Mündener Stapelrecht from duke Otto I. Continue reading “Stapelmahlzeit”
I‘ve never seen the city center of Hann. Münden, Germany crowded like this. Thousands of people were trying to find their way to the farmers‘ market surrounding the church St. Blasius. Every parking lot in and around the city was blocked, cars were also parking along side streets quite far away from the city center. Since some years the Herbst- und Bauernmarkt is one of the main attractions of the town. Continue reading “Herbst- und Bauernmarkt”
