To conclude our stopover, we went out for a walk to the tallest tree in Germany.
We took the tram and bus to the starting point. It's really amazing what you can reach here with the bus and tram in a very short time. We can only dream of that at home.
After we finally found the right path, we quickly went

After the city tour, we still had time to visit some owner-managed bookstores.
First, we went to the Rombach bookstore. A very large bookstore with a very large selection awaited us, already bordering on the large chains. It wasn't to our taste.
Afterwards, we went to the Wetzstein bookstore. We found

After we had already explored the city on our own yesterday, we took part in a city tour today. Here's what I remember:
Freiburg doesn't have a cathedral, but a "Münster" (minster). This is because Freiburg was not a bishop's seat when the Münster was built. When they did get a bishop, they kept the designation

Today we therefore went on an orientation walk to the Münster.

To conclude our stay in Zermatt, we took a look at the tourist stronghold. The city is firmly in Asian hands. Very many tourists were out on the main street. I don't even want to imagine what it's like in winter.

Today the last train ride was on the agenda. We took the Gornerbahn up to the Gornergrat. From Zermatt, the cogwheel railway had to overcome around 1400 meters in altitude over a distance of almost 10 kilometers. This takes just under 30 minutes. The descent takes 45 minutes. The mountain station is

We really liked Chur with its old town and the cathedral. Of course, we also had to visit two bookstores. We really liked the Lüthi bookstore and the Schuler Buchhandlung with its cafe. Both will be added

Twelve pilgrims set off from Ikenhausen to Borlinghausen after Holy Mass. The church in Ikenhausen had not been so full for a long time. Unfortunately, no one from the village near Willebadessen joined the pilgrimage to Borlinghausen. Perhaps it was also due to the weather, as it was drizzling when the
