I became aware of the Winzenburg ruins through a Wanderverteiler (hiking distributor). A friend mentioned that there is a lot of wild garlic (Bärlauch) there. How much wild garlic there actually is, I couldn’t have imagined beforehand. In any case, the idyllic and dreamy area around the castle ruins has its own unique charm – especially in spring. The starting
Admittedly, Hörden am Harz is not exactly known for its international charm. And yet, we were able to discover it yesterday. It is located in the garden of a very lovely café and invites you to relax. It is a Hollywood swing of a special kind, namely Bollywood style. Presumably, this piece was not imported from the subcontinent. Still, with
I learned about it from an acquaintance: There is a nature reserve (NSG) in the Leine Valley. It is called Leinpolder. There are supposed to be sea eagles there as well. I was immediately hooked. I noted the name and planned to Google the address after the conversation. Through the continuing education program for nature scouts, I found the area:
Was it pure coincidence or destiny? Friday evening, I was scrolling through the internet, thinking about what I could do on the weekend. Then I remembered, didn’t I read something about an exhibition? At the Landesmuseum Hinter Ägidien? I visit the museum’s website and bingo! On the opening weekend at the end of March, the museum is offering not only
It’s not exactly easy to find new hiking trails in the Harz region. But we’ve managed to do it again. The spring sun and the wonderful air are drawing us to Lonau this time. You might not know it, but you should! It’s located near Herzberg and has quite a bit to offer along the way “Around Lonau”: a capercaillie
Saturday afternoon in Goslar. “The Beauty of Bioscience” at the Brauhaus Goslar is on our agenda. With a certain level of expectation, we enter the exhibition space on the first floor. We had imagined that someone would guide us through the exhibition or at least be available for questions. But we are alone. A bit disillusioned, we walk through the
It’s not often that the second volume of a duology is as captivating as the first. Susanne Abel has achieved this with her two novels Stay Away from Gretchen and What I Never Said. While the first story focuses on the protagonist Greta from East Prussia, the second volume revolves around the fate of her husband Konrad and an inherited
On December 6, 2024, it all started with “Devilishly Beautiful Christmas.” I mean, the relationship between the “Young Späti” and me. Well, to be honest, it’s quite one-sided. They don’t even know who I am. So, on that day, I discovered “Young Späti,” back then the Christmas show by “Roy & Roy,” and I was simply thrilled. A creative group
Last Sunday, I purchased the combination ticket. After experiencing “Brodmann in Braunschweig” at the Museum Hinter Aegidien, the second part of the event is now on my agenda, a week later. When I arrive at the museum, somewhat frozen due to the weather, a line has formed in front of the ticket counter. Although I already have a ticket, I
Thursday, early evening. I am on my way to the House of Science. I am registered for a lecture at the Institute of Economics. A lecture awaits me, focusing on nothing less than Germany’s most important industrial sector: the automotive industry. This sector, once so successful with its business model, is now under pressure. Thomas Puls from the German Economic
