Always these decisions that I have to make, Katowice or Krakow, Leipzig or Dresden, Plagwitz or Connewitz! Leipzig and Dresden are the same as Katowice and Krakow. While most tourists probably choose Dresden, I prefer the livelier city to the supposedly more beautiful one and go to Leipzig. With Connewitz

It's five to twelve in Wrocław. Outside the historic old town, modern office and apartment buildings are springing up everywhere. Soon there will be neither the blue factory wall with the steam engine nor the lonely house on the elevated railway line with the crashing locomotive on its gable. Both murals

Krakow and Katowice are only 80 kilometers apart. If given the choice, nine out of ten tourists will probably choose Krakow; I am the one who goes to Katowice. Katowice does not have a medieval old town, nor are there trips to Auschwitz offered on every corner, but the city has completely different highlights

Lesko is located on the San, at the south-eastern end of Poland. Wikipedia lists four sights: a family castle, a parish church and a Jewish cemetery from the 16th century and a synagogue from the 18th century. Is that enough to overcome Slovakia's highest road pass over the Low Tatras, which has a pass

Banská Bystrica no longer has a synagogue, so I take a small detour via Banská Štiavnica to see the renovated synagogue there; only from the outside, as the new owner, the ERB private brewery, has set up its offices there. It runs a luxury hotel, inn and gift shop on site. Judging by the inflated bill

My GRANDFATHER Elias Hauster studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology between 1898 and 1904. I didn't know until now that he messed up the practical part of the first final exam and was only declared "qualified" to be a graduate engineer on his second attempt in June 1904

"Going East by Heading West", the motto of my tour, has come true after just over four weeks. We are now in the east, in Ljubljana, one of the smallest European capitals. Its architecture cannot hide the fact that it once belonged to Austria-Hungary. Ljubljana has never been a European Capital of Culture

From the urban jungle of Genoa, the scenic and winding route takes us over the Apennines to Mantua. Everything here is under the banner of "Trame Sonore", the International Chamber Music Festival; 300 artists, 30 venues, 12 themes. I arrive just in time for the opening concert on the historic Piazza

Only now do I understand why Christopher Columbus, the city of Genoa's most famous son, was drawn to faraway places. In 2004, Genoa - together with Lille in France - was named European Capital of Culture. While Lille, as we saw at the beginning of my tour, has benefited from this, the same is not true

On June 17, 1944, Thomas Mann wrote in a letter to Lion Feuchtwanger: "I believe you were the first person in exile to create a more than dignified, splendid home for yourself in Sanary-sur-Mer, where we spent the first few months together after our release as German writers. I would have loved to show

A Parisian with a capital city attitude probably doesn't care that his city was the European Capital of Culture in 1989. It's different in Marseille, where the citizens see a visible upturn in their city after its nomination in 2013. Of course, the poverty rate, the proportion of immigrants and the crime

When my father, Julius Hauster, graduated from high school in Czernowitz in June 1929, he was only sixteen years old. In November 1929, when he was just seventeen, he began studying engineering in Grenoble, received his diploma as an electrical engineer in June 1933 and applied for French citizenship

Avignon is the tenth stop on my tour, but my secret destination was La Ribaute, Anselm Kiefer's 80-hectare refuge, his monumental artist's studio in the former factory in Barjac, France. Tours are booked up for many months, but why am I actually riding an off-road motorcycle? No fence, no swamp, no guard

Replay is an Italian fashion brand, the title of a fantasy novel and several songs, and it is also the name of an award-winning graphic novel by Jordan Mechner, the creator of Prince of Persia. The book is subtitled "Memoirs of an Uprooted Family," but Jordan's roots lie in Chernivtsi. We have that in

The last stage of the tour is 537 kilometers from Leipzig home, i.e. to Rheinberg. Each post about the past 24 stages contains ten photos, including this one. Only this time there are photos that didn't make it into the previous posts, mostly for thematic reasons. Wouldn't it be a shame not to share
