April 5, 2025,Hameln - sonniger Spaziergang ☀️🚶🏻‍♀️🐀
A spontaneous visit to Hamelin. The rats all stayed there 😂

After I found it difficult to climb down the stairs this morning, I decided to take a short stroll through beautiful Hamelin and then start my journey home. There is no point in continuing to walk in pain.
Let's see what the doctor says... and how it goes on.

My husband and I actually wanted to go to Nordheim today after Kiesel had such nice photos of it. But the train we were already on didn't start because of a disruption in Sarstedt. He would have driven late and diverted via Lehrte and Hildesheim. So came plan B. Off to the S-Bahn and to Hamelin. We haven't been there …

Where are we going?
In the old town of Hamelin and on the Weser
What shoud that?
Hamelin not only impresses with the Pied Piper, but also with an extensive collection of half-timbered houses that are great for taking pictures of. You can get to the old town quite quickly from the train station and you can visit the many …

I've always wanted to go to Hamelin...so I put it into practice today🚉 arrived after 3.5 hours, the sky was gray and disappointment at first! Somehow what I saw didn't really appeal to me🙄. But when we arrived in the old town, the world/Hameln looked different: a really cute little town with a lot of old and crooked half-timbering 👌🤩, …

On the way to Hamburg, we made a little pit stop in the Pied Piper town of Hamelin.
I was here 6 months ago for work and was totally fascinated by the many beautiful half-timbered houses. Unfortunately also by the 70s architectural sins.
Hamelin is totally lively with its countless cafes and restaurants. But since we were only passing through, …

July 19, 2022,Rundgang in Hameln
We visit Hameln in the center of the Weserbergland Schaumburg-Hameln Nature Park. The city gained worldwide fame through the Pied Piper legend, which is based on the exodus of the "Hämel children" in 1284.

I had the idea 💡 for this tour shortly after I was last in Hamelin! That's how it went for me on Easter Sunday 🐰🥚 with a bright blue sky in Hameln's old town to take a closer look at the half-timbered houses 🏘 🧐.
