Hiking tour as a fountain of youth

Hiking tour as a fountain of youth

The second stage of the cloister hiking path leads us from Ilsenburg to Wöltingerode. Next to the wonderful nature a lot to history-charged places are to be discovered. First of all there is the former cloister Ilsenburg. Alongside the “Green ribbon” (the former inner German border) we come across the “Jungborn” and the former forester’s lodge “Eckerkrug”. In the “Schimmerwald”

Springime

Hiking on the fringes of the Harz mountains can also be fun – that’s what we learned the last time we walked from Vienenburg to the cloister Wöltingerode. Stages like the Harly tower and the Herbal-August-Cave were still kept in good memory. Last Sunday we were up to broaden our knowledge about the “Harzer Klosterwanderweg”. Once again we start our

Paper chase to Mecca

Paper chase to Mecca

Upon entering the stage two requisites catches my eye: a dormat that read: “Please take off your shoes” and a camel run by a battery, tied to a palm tree and lapping around it. Whereas the first item could also mark the entrance of a Swabian flat, the combination of both makes clear that this is about a theatrical excursion

Adventure trails in the Harly

Adventure trails in the Harly

The term „Harly“ (the name of a hill nearby Vienenburg) reminds me of Harley Davidson instantly. And exactly as fast as we could we climbed up Harly hill last Sunday. At first we hiked from Vienenburg via a snow-covered ridgeway to the Harly-tower. Unfortunately, the tower will only open in spring again. From there we walked over the “Mittelweg” towards

Wallpaper: Inner life off-wall

Wallpaper: Inner life off-wall

Only a few square meters become a fateful space for four people. They do not know each other, they meet accidently and cannot escape. In the end their inner-life is literally off-wall and everything has changed. This involuntary skinning of four actors has been staged by the Italian Sara Angius in a play called wallpaper, consisting of a pacy, multi-faceted

The Kurds or the question of social coexistance

The Kurds or the question of social coexistance

Maybe I was one of the few people who are truely unexperienced and without bias taking part in the book launch at the Brunsviga that evening. I do not really know much about the Kurds, besides that the people are spread over four different countries: Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria. I heard about them on and off: In the course

Braunlage: A day out of time

Braunlage: A day out of time

Winter can be fun too. Whereas snow in the city can be a pain in the ass, the icing sugar white substance can be dreamlike under a blue sky and in the great outdoors. That’s what we witnessed last Sunday in Braunlage. But watch out: whoever is mad enough to go to the Harz mountains at the weekend when blue

On the brink

On the brink

The discrapencies could not be bigger than this: On the one hand the open-air-exhibition: “On the edge of the horizon” and on the other hand the worth several millions crazy building of the Elbphilharmonie. Both impressions are located close to each other, however, they could not be further away from each other – ethically. The question is: Is the world
