    But first… Schnitzel!

    28 marca, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Here we go again - I’m off on a 4 week trip to Germany. It’s a crazy mix of remote work and free time, with mixed in hikes, sightseeing, rural charm and lots of food! Come with me to see what the more rural areas of Germany have to offer.

    The journey started off with bubbles at the airport, which I think is always a great way to start any kind of travel. The flight with Lufthansa was rather uneventful - minus the gentleman next to me, on the middle seat, whose width unfortunately led to him occupying 1/3 of each neighbouring seat. I tried to make the best of the time on board with the remaining 2/3 of my seat.

    Touchdown in Frankfurt, ICE to Cologne and eventually arrival in Ehrenfeld - the neighborhood that feels like you stepped into a contrast program of village vs city, Istanbul vs Köln, 60s vs 2000s, old school vs modern thinking - but always with this openness and heart that Cologne is known for.

    For the next few days I moved into the guest apartment of my friends Karl and Lydia. Karl and I went for lunch to Kebapland - a Turkish bbq hut in the middle of bustling Venloer Street - where I had my first Dürüm in ages! Oh how I missed that!

    The early evening was spent with Kölsch and Catch up with some other friends, before heading out to the first big highlight of the trip: Schnitzel at Oma Kleinmanns! This restaurant is a staple when it comes to Schnitzel! Massive sizes and decently priced! What you see on the picture is not one, but two plate sized Schnitzel on top of each other and the fried potatoes. As I won’t have a chance to get back to Oma Kleinmann any of the other days, I had to squeeze a visit in, besides the jet lag.

    A successful - and yummy - start into the trip for sure!     Czytaj więcej

    Graffiti, Beans and Friends

    29 marca, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Day two of my Germany adventure started the best way possible—with a craving for coffee. After last night’s amazing schnitzel, I woke up ready to explore Ehrenfeld, one of Cologne’s coolest neighborhoods, and check out its local coffee scene.

    The weather was perfect, so I took my time strolling down Venloer Straße, soaking up the sun and stopping often to admire the street art. Ehrenfeld is packed with graffiti and murals, and every corner seemed to have something new to look at—bright colors, bold designs, and little details that made the walk feel like a mini art tour.

    My first coffee stop was Schamong, Cologne’s oldest roastery. It’s a small, super cozy spot that somehow blends old-school charm with a modern touch. The staff really knew their stuff, and the coffee? Absolutely spot on. Great service, great vibes—definitely the kind of place I could’ve hung out in for hours.

    Next up was Cologne’s Roastery, which had a more modern, spacious feel. The coffee was just as good, but something about it didn’t quite click for me the way Schamong did. Maybe it was the atmosphere? The warmth? Hard to say, but I found myself missing that little extra personality.

    With two coffees down, it was time to find breakfast. Wandering through streets lined with trees and blooming flowers, I ended up at Café Franck, where I met Lisa, Alex, and Chris. Good food, great company, and a slow morning—exactly what I needed. Then, completely out of the blue, another good friend, Franzi, showed up. She had a reservation there too, with visitors of her own. Totally unplanned, but such a fun surprise. And as it turned out, not the only surprise of the day…

    To be continued.     Czytaj więcej

    Rhine, Sunshine and Tapas

    29 marca, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    After breakfast, even though I was already buzzing from caffeine, I couldn’t just walk past Bensons Coffee—they were practically down the street, and skipping them would’ve felt like a crime. Bensons, or as they call themselves, “Badass Coffee,” takes a no-nonsense approach to coffee. No sugary frappés, no over-the-top drinks—just pure, expertly crafted coffee. And they know their stuff. After the visit, I walked away very impressed.

    Fully caffeinated (maybe even a little over-caffeinated), I made my way to Cologne’s river promenade. Since I moved away, the city has put a lot of effort into making it more inviting, and it shows. The space is perfect for a stroll or just sitting in the sun, taking in the incredible view of the river and, of course, the iconic Kölner Dom in the distance. And with today’s blue sky, warm sun, and light breeze, it was Cologne at its absolute best.

    From there, I wandered into the downtown core, which was absolutely packed. Note to self: Hohe Straße on a Saturday? Never again! I made a quick shopping stop for some essentials before heading to the next big event: dinner.

    At El Alli Oli, a cozy tapas bar that has become a bit of a tradition for me, I met up with Sandra, Carola, Chris, Tobi, Alex, and Timo. We settled in for a long evening of catching up over delicious food and wine. I’ve been coming to this spot for over 18 years now, and every time, I walk out happy and full.

    Then, about an hour into our meal—another surprise! Michael and Felix had made reservations completely unbeknownst to me. More familiar faces, more unexpected reunions, and even more catching up.

    Hours later, we finally wrapped up the night, saying our goodbyes, stomachs full, and hearts even fuller.     Czytaj więcej

    A cozy farewell to Cologne

    30 marca, Niemcy ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    I woke up to a colder, cloudier morning—quite the contrast to yesterday’s sunshine—but that wasn’t going to stop me from enjoying my last full day in Cologne.

    I left the apartment early to make time for a quick stop at Kaffeesaurus before breakfast. Located at Friesenplatz, it’s a favorite for coffee lovers and brunch-goers alike. They roast their own beans, and the place was already buzzing with people fueling up for the day.

    From there, I strolled through the Belgian Quarter, making my way to Balthasar on Aachener Straße for breakfast. Our group—Carola, Alex, Tobi, Chris, and Timo—took over a big table in the bright, airy atrium at the back of the restaurant. Unlike yesterday, there were no surprise guests this time, just a relaxed morning of good food and conversation.

    After breakfast, I decided to walk back to Ehrenfeld through Cologne’s Green Belt. Despite the grey sky, it was a beautiful, peaceful walk. Before heading back to the apartment, I made one last coffee stop at Kaffeebud Ehrenfeld. This cozy little café serves Heilandt coffee, a local roaster I discovered on my last visit to Cologne. The perfect way to wrap up my coffee adventures in the city.

    The afternoon was calm—just some downtime to catch up on emails—before heading out for an end-of-day beer with Karl.

    For my final dinner in Cologne, I made my way to Haus Schnackertz in Nippes, where Alex and I closed out my visit with a classic Cologne-style meal. For me, that meant Sauerbraten, paired with some Kölsch and one last round of good conversation.

    And just like that, my time in Cologne came to an end—full of great coffee, great food, and even better company.     Czytaj więcej

    From Coffee in Cologne to Magnolias in B

    31 marca, Niemcy ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Bright and early, I packed my bags, playing the all-too-familiar game of trying to fit all my freshly acquired coffee beans into my luggage. And we’re only at the first stop of many!

    Before hitting the road, I took one last brisk walk to Schamong—because when the coffee is that good, a second visit is non-negotiable. With my travel provisions secured, I met up with Karl, and we set off towards Baden-Baden. The drive was smooth, uneventful, but filled with good conversation—the kind that makes a few hours on the road fly by.

    Then we arrived. Holy shit, what a town! Baden-Baden is stunning. Magnolias in full bloom, grand 18th-century buildings, elegant plazas—this place just oozes history and charm. No wonder European royalty flocked here for centuries to enjoy the famous spas. Walking through the streets, it felt like stepping into another era, where everything is just a little more refined, a little more glamorous.

    A short while later, my best friend Jule arrived, and suddenly, Baden-Baden got even better. There was so much to catch up on, and this setting felt like the perfect place to do it.

    For dinner, we went to Leo’s, a cozy spot with amazing service. I had the bear garlic soup (which was as delicious as it was intriguing) and the Pinsa Pata Negra—the perfect way to end my first evening in this incredible town.     Czytaj więcej

    A Lovely Day in Baden-Baden

    1 kwietnia, Niemcy ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

    Not every day on a trip has to be packed with big adventures—some are just about enjoying the moment.

    I woke up early and started the day with breakfast at the hotel, followed by a quiet morning stroll through town. Baden-Baden is the kind of place that’s perfect for aimless wandering, with its elegant streets, historic buildings, and that ever-present feeling of old-world charm.

    The rest of the day was all about hanging out with Jule, catching up, and simply enjoying the atmosphere. We wandered through the downtown area, taking in the grand architecture that make this town feel so unique.

    For dinner, we went to Le Bistro, a spot where the local cuisine is infused with French influences—no surprise, given how close we are to the border. The chef is a passionate hunter, so the menu has plenty of game dishes. I went for the game sausage with fried potatoe-endive salad, paired with a beautiful Baden rosé. And honestly? Divine.

    Magnolias and Asparagus

    2 kwietnia, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Another early start in Baden-Baden—breakfast at the hotel, and the buffet turned out to be surprisingly solid (always a nice surprise).

    The rest of the day followed a now-familiar and very welcome rhythm: a stroll through town, lots of time with Jule, and plenty of moments spent just soaking up the sunshine and the explosion of magnolia blossoms everywhere. It’s hard not to fall a little bit in love with this town when it looks and smells like spring perfection.

    For dinner, we made our way back to Leo’s. And—surprise!—the menu had changed since our last visit. It’s officially Spargelzeit—white asparagus season! Every year from April through June, Germany goes wild for it, and restaurants across the country roll out seasonal menus to celebrate.

    We shared a white and green asparagus salad with Pata Negra, which was an absolute hit. I followed it up with a classic: schnitzel and potato salad—a fitting, comforting finish to the day.

    Then it was off to bed. Tomorrow, a new chapter of this trip begins!     Czytaj więcej

    Delays, Detours, and Maultaschen

    3 kwietnia, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    As promised—a new chapter in this trip kicked off today with Sanjay’s arrival!

    After a quick breakfast and check-out, I moved my luggage to the hotel next door, Aqua Aurelia, where we’d be staying for the next part of the journey. Then it was time to hit the road: Karl, legend that he is, drove me to Frankfurt, where I picked up our rental car. Bonus: we got a free upgrade, which felt like a good omen for the days ahead.

    From there, I headed to Frankfurt Airport to meet Sanjay… except his flight was delayed by two hours. Classic travel chaos. While waiting, I discovered that the Frankfurt airport parkade is an actual disaster (seriously, who designed that mess?) I passed the time with a much-needed cup of coffee and some excellent people-watching in the departure hall.

    And then—finally—Sanjay arrived! A quick reunion hug, a deep breath, and we were on the road again, back to Baden-Baden. What should’ve been a two-hour drive turned into almost four thanks to traffic jams and endless construction zones.

    When we finally made it, we checked into Aqua Aurelia and went on a short sightseeing walk—partly to give Sanjay a first glimpse of Baden-Baden, partly to keep him awake and ward off the jet lag.

    We wrapped up the day with dinner at Le Bistro, where Sanjay tried his very first Maultaschen (a proper introduction to Swabian comfort food) after starting with a local Wurstsalat. I went for the Wald und Wiesen Pfännchen—game and veal meatballs with potato purée and a rich, lingonberry-spiked gravy. Glorious.     Czytaj więcej

    Mountain Views & a Touch of Glamour

    4 kwietnia, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    After a few full days on the go, we allowed ourselves a slow start—sleeping in just a bit, then heading out for a sweet and quiet breakfast at Boecklers Confiserie. With fresh pastries and strong coffee in hand, we eased into the day the right way.

    From there, we took a leisurely stroll through the city back to the hotel, soaking in the spring air and still slightly stunned by how beautiful Baden-Baden is.

    Next up: a little adventure. We hopped in the car and drove to the base station of the Merkur funicular—a steep little ride up to the top of Mount Merkur, with postcard-worthy views all the way.

    Once at the top, we wandered around a bit and, by luck, found the view tower door unlocked. Naturally, we couldn’t resist heading up. And wow—what a view! The whole Baden-Baden valley stretched out beneath us, bathed in sunshine. The weather was absolutely perfect.

    After taking it all in (and doing a bit of sunbathing at the base of the tower like true pros), we rode the funicular back down and headed to the hotel to change into our casino-appropriate attire—because yes, this day was only getting fancier.

    At 1 PM, we joined a guided tour through the historic Kurhaus and Casino, and let’s just say: the opulence is next-level. Chandeliers, velvet, gold detailing everywhere—it’s easy to see why this place is legendary.

    Fun fact from the tour: the casino brings in around 35 million euros in profit each year, and thanks to Germany’s strict gambling laws, that money is reinvested into the community. Gotta love that.

    (Stay tuned for part two—because this day still had more in store…)     Czytaj więcej

    Coffee with a View & Castles

    4 kwietnia, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    After the opulence of the Kurhaus, we wandered over to the nearby Trinkhalle and Kurhaus Kolonnaden—a stretch of beautiful arcades with fountains, historic architecture, and a laid-back vibe. There we grabbed an ice cream and a coffee, just soaking in the calm elegance of the place.

    Refueled, we headed back to the hotel and hopped in the car to check out the Neues Schloss, perched just above Baden-Baden. Sadly, it was a bit of a letdown—closed for renovations and looking more abandoned than under active restoration. At least the terrace view over the city helped soften the blow.

    From there, we made our way to the real star of the afternoon: the Altes Schloss zu Hohenbaden, the castle ruin that’s been dramatically looming over Baden-Baden all along.

    We started by hiking through the ruins to the Ritterplatte, a jagged rock formation just above the castle. The views were absolutely breathtaking—green valleys, distant hills, the entire town below. I couldn’t resist jumping over a few gaps to get as close to the edge (safely!) as possible. And there, in true coffee-lover fashion, I pulled out my AeroPress and brewed a cup of locally roasted coffee. Sitting up there with fresh coffee and that view? Pure luxury.

    After that perfect moment, Sanjay and I headed back down to explore the castle ruins themselves. The place is full of hidden staircases, winding paths, crumbling towers, and windows that frame the landscape like paintings. We climbed higher and higher until we reached the highest view tower—absolutely worth it. The whole experience felt like stepping back in time.

    Back down in town, we wrapped up the day at M10, a cozy spot with local flavor. We shared a cold cut platter full of regional delicacies, followed by a mixed Maultaschen platter—comfort food at its finest. Paired with a glass of Badener Rosé and Pinot Gris, it was the perfect way to toast our last evening in Baden-Baden.     Czytaj więcej
