An opening reception that serves not only cultural entertainment but also a good cause. The exhibition opening of Patrick Riancho’s photo exhibition “Multiple Impressions” fulfills both. The proceeds from the pictures sold on that day are to be donated to the organization Doctors Without Borders. In addition, red piggy banks sit on the standing tables, inviting visitors to donate a
The German Winter Is Still Alive It still exists, the German winter. In truth, hardly anyone had really expected it anymore—least of all Deutsche Bahn and the municipal snow-clearing services 🙂 But yes, while snow and icy conditions are more of a nuisance in the city, elsewhere both states of aggregation create a true winter wonderland, for example in the
The highlight of our winter trip to the Aosta Valley was definitely the ride on the Skyway up to Monte Bianco. I had already become aware of this extraordinary cable car during my hiking trip in the Aosta Valley, and I was immediately fired up about the idea. I knew right away: I want to do this. That it actually
For years I had wanted to escape to a mountain hut in the snow over Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Last year it finally happened—and my expectations of the adventure were exceeded by far. What follows is my recommendation for all hiking- and snow-loving explorers who can imagine a compact yet varied Christmas and New Year’s trip to the snow-covered
Sunday morning in late autumn. A look out the window—wow, the sun is announcing itself on the horizon. Unbelievable! This looks like the perfect day for a cozy hike in the Harz Mountains, and maybe—just maybe—it will be rounded off with a sauna session or two 🙂 Wildcat Trail vs. Therapeutic Climate Walk Originally, the plan for this Sunday was
Hell yes, the Drecksclub is back—and this time it’s stopping by for two days at Circus Dobbelino on Schefflerstraße in Braunschweig. And yes, both the characters and the format itself have become cult classics by now—and they have been for twelve years! At least I don’t know a single person who’s visited the “Moor” for the first time and didn’t
There is still a wonderful and entertaining exhibition to see in the small town of Schöppenstedt until December 15, 2025: Frank Kunert’s Wonderland. I admit that I had no prior connection with the artist. But that changed—at the latest—this past Sunday. This light-hearted exhibition, infused throughout with dark humor, is absolutely worth a visit! We genuinely laughed out loud at
Niklausi is at the door, a special day in the Christmas season that deserves a special event. But what lovely thing should we do on this day? I imagine there must be some interesting offers in the Harz. A corresponding internet search, however, is initially disappointing. To my surprise, the number of events is quite limited, and most of them
A girls’ weekend in the Harz Mountains for my birthday — that was the plan this year. We set off on Saturday in the rain. First, I take the bus to Magdeburg. I even arrive there almost on time, where my friend is already waiting for me. We continue by car, taking the highway and then country roads to Güntersberge.
Maybe these are the last sunny and reasonably warm autumn days we’re experiencing right now. Before the gray and dark winter sets in, we’re taking advantage of the day for a hike in the Leinebergland. This time, our destination is the Lippold’s Cave. Even the winding drive to our starting point in Gerzen is an experience in itself. The hilly
