The island of La Réunion is considered a French hiking paradise in the Indian Ocean, and for good reason. “Hike till you drop” could be the motto here. With three fascinating calderas and a coastline that surrounds the island, it leaves nothing to be desired. Furthermore, La Réunion boasts the highest mountain in the Indian Ocean, Piton des Neiges. In
The most striking aspect of La Réunion is its colorful birdlife. Since there are no dangerous animals on the island and the wildlife is relatively isolated due to its geographical location, the local small creatures, alongside the “usual” pets like cats, dogs, cows, goats, and pigs, take the spotlight. Among these, the boldest representatives are the so-called Tec-Tecs, the Réunion

Game over for head coach Hansi Flick.

The over 50 km long bicycle tour passes by the moor railway in Westerbeck, through the Aller Valley Nature Reserve, and both the Tankum and Bernstein lakes are crossed. It follows along the Elbe Side Canal (ESK), passing by the Great Moor Museum near Neudorf-Platendorf. The circular route
Some things are simply reliable. Not only does Christmas come around every year. The giant water lily Victoria cruziana from Braunschweig also delights us anew each year. And then there’s the heather bloom, a special natural spectacle that captivates many people annually between early August and early September. Hooked by a visit in the year 2021 to the South Heath
Same procedure as every year? Not quite. For me, it’s actually the first visit to Victoria, the giant water lily, in the Botanical Garden of Braunschweig. “Victoria cruziana,” as its Latin name goes, is Germany’s largest tropical giant water lily, and therefore a superlative.

The wet and cold weather this summer drives us indoors. Why not make the best of it? We use the circumstances to expand our regional historical knowledge. As part of the exhibition “Goddesses of Art Nouveau,” the (Monastery) Museum Hinter Aegidien offers a lecture on “Women in the Art Nouveau Sanatorium” Dr. Barner 1900-1914. That sounds interesting. The very next
Champagne or sparkling water? Rain or sunshine? This year, the weather app or, more precisely, the rain radar decides where the weekend getaway is headed. With the changeable climate, it’s not easy to estimate how long the next rain gap will last. Often, the raincoat is closer than the swimsuit. So, we gather all our courage and just set off.
