Okertalsperre and Cream Puffs

So we doubled back to the west after the border museum. I wanted to see this dam, and go to this cream puff place everyone online raves about, Der Windbeutel König, the cream puff king.

The water level in the lake was extremely low, and there was no water being passed through the dam. The structure itself was all right. Not the Hoover Dam or Cody Dam, but nice if you like dams. I do. It's another of those weird things that interest me.

The cream puffs were good. Really good, actually. I felt like, since it was actually lunch, we shouldn't just eat cream puffs stuffed with ice cream. Good thing they also had a few "hearty" selections. We went for the cheese, with local cheese and a whipped cheese filling that was a bit sharp and spicy. The other one, hazelnut ice cream, whipped cream, nuts, and chocolate sauce. Both were good. The drinks, just pressed cherry juice, since Steve was driving.

After lunch we walked up to see the Romkerhalle Wasserfall, which was more or less dry. Cute statue of the Frog Prince, though.En savoir plus
