We have often admired this magnificent piece of nature in pictures. Today, yes, today was the day. We had written this date in our calendars long ago.



The hiking weather was perfect, even the current time change couldn't affect us.

Hello everyone! While there isn't much nature to see at the moment, there is plenty of landscape. And really varied landscape at that—almost like a surprise menu of scenery. The naturally cloudy, non-alcoholic Mönchshof beer was quickly earned. Not even an hour on the way, and my neighbor and I were

When hunger strikes, it's good to have snagged a table at a restaurant in time. And that was no problem at the Paulinenturm, even without a reservation (since they also have outdoor seating).



Just an hour's pedaling and I was there 😄. I entered full of energy...

Ha. That was a piece of cake, venturing out for my first bike ride of the year in this spring-like, almost summery weather.

Johann Gottfried Herder was a true 18th-century multifaceted thinker—poet, Protestant pastor, philosopher, translator, and one of the most important thinkers of the German Enlightenment. His work was characterized by a deep interest in language, culture, and humanity. Here are the key points that Herder

Before I forget various things again, I want to quickly jot them down.



It was calm outside today; even the wind was calm. And somehow I was at war with my cycling socks today 🙃. There really is a left and a right one. 🤔 The right "R" on my left foot felt weird, so I couldn't let it go. That inevitably

Weimar just won't leave you alone. Today, I was captivated by the secluded, narrow streets.



And as I drove along, an old Weimar song came to mind. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep it to myself, so I wrote it down.
