For the first time in a long time, we drove over to Eger for a meal. As always, we went to the "U Krále Jiřího" to eat "Vepřová plec, bílé zelí, a houskový knedlík". It is one of the few pubs that still serves really good old Bohemian food. Not a fancy restaurant for tourists. But so that it all doesn

Our second hike took us to a picturesque pond on the edge of a small heath. Surrounded by gentle hills covered with small birch and pine trees, the Angelbecksteich is something special in the Lüneburg Heath and delights every visitor with its idyllic, varied landscape. Since the path around the pond

Today is our last day of vacation and to fill it with wonderful experiences, we will do two smaller tours, just like yesterday. The first hike, which I found on the Lüneburger Heide GmbH portal under the name "In einem Bächlein helle", takes us to the lowlands of the Weesener Bach, which is also known

The second hike for today took us through the extensive water landscape of the Aschau and Loher ponds and the surrounding forests. Right next to the hiking car park for the “At the pike in the carp pond” tour, a small farm shop from the pond farm sells freshly smoked fish. After the tour, we actually

The term Gur (from ferment) was used to describe a "moist mass fermenting out of the rock". Diatomaceous earth was formed by the deposition of microscopically small fossil shell remains of diatoms that lived in waters several hundred thousand years ago during the interglacial periods. The deposits formed

In 1900, there were still huge heathlands around the Hausselberg south of Gerdehaus. Unfortunately, over the last hundred years, many of these areas have become forests. Currently, there are only about 15,000 hectares of heathland left in the entire Lower Saxony lowlands. That is less than five percent

I simply stole today's hike in the Misselhorn Heath and the Tiefental valley from @Deleted User. She was there recently with her "curly wolf" Bella and I liked the hike the two of them took straight away.
The Misselhorn Heath and the Tiefental valley are also some of the most beautiful heathlands in the

Because we didn't like the Baltic Sea as much as some others, we decided yesterday to pack up camp and drive on to the Lüneburg Heath. And since we pass very close to Schwerin on the way there, we drove into the city to at least look at the castle from the outside and have our lunch picnic in the castle park.

As planned, after the short tour around the Mellenthin moated castle, we drove here to Ahlbeck to see what draws so many people from our circle of friends to the Baltic Sea in the first place.
After we had looked at the historic pier, all the posh hotels on Dünenstraße, the many shops with their pointless

Because today was Ascension Day and I wanted to go on a "men's day" hike right after walking the dog, I made a change by letting @Lady Smart drive me up Rohrer Berg in her small van. And since the lady was already there, she obviously had to come along for the hike. It was a very nice hike, and I think
