    Walkin' in Meersburg

    March 15 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F

    Ok. We haven't been everywhere, but Meersburg has got to be one of the most iconic small towns in Germany. It has everything a tourist could ask for: beautifully painted Bavarian houses, tunnels that go under those houses, a walkable main street with adorable shops, a walkable harbor view, and a really old castle!
    We spent the day exploring this iconic town.
    Oh, I almost forgot.The sides of the hills are covered with vineyards, and there are steps all over town that take you up to breathtaking views!    Read more

    Autobahn

    March 15 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F

    We had a rough start to our Saturday morning. When we woke up we discovered there were no coffee packets for our coffee pot. A quick inquiry at he front desk revealed that only the maids have access to the coffee packets. The maids were not on duty yet.
    Caffeine became a priority. We were picking up the rental car this morning and driving on the Autobahn.
    We found airport cappuccino, picked up the red Peogot GT 208, and hit the road for Bodensee.
    The drive was uneventful, and the Autobahn was not daunting at all. Of course, Brian drove in Italy, so this was much easier.    Read more

    Zeppelin museum

    March 16 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 41 °F

    It's a cold and rainy day, and Brian and I are struggling with sore throats. We decided to change our plans slightly. Instead of going to the Neuschwantzstein castle (which would have been a longer drive and would have meant walking around in the rain), we drove about 20 minutes to the Zeppelin Museum. It was very interesting!
    They had a replica of the Hindenburg that you could walk through. It was pretty luxurious travel for 1937. The engineering behind it was fascinating...even to the Biology teacher!    Read more

    Breakfast buffet bounty

    March 16 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 37 °F

    We are staying at the Seehof Gasthaus in Meersburg. It has a view of the main street shops and restaurants and includes a breakfast buffet at a partner hotel in town.
    You need to realize our first two mornings had no breakfast provided. We bought breakfast items at Aldi's and had to use a hard piece of bread as a spoon to eat our yogurt in our room...standing up...using the window sill as a table.
    Thus, when we walked into this buffet, we were so excited and overwhelmed! There were so many incredible offerings ...and they even had metal spoons!
    Brian loved having bratwust, pretzels, cappuccino, and fish for breakfast! It may be his favorite thing we do all day!    Read more

    Harbor view dinner

    March 15 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F

    After a day of exploring castles, water walkways, vineyards, and shops, we were ready for seafood.
    We found a lovely place aling the waterfront called Droste and had a great experience.
    I had salmon risotto and Brian had 3 kinds of locally caught fish and veggies. We topped it off with warm apple strudel.
    Everything was so delicious!    Read more

    Meersburg castle

    March 15 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F

    Meersburg castle is the oldest castle that has been continually inhabited since its inception. It dates back to the 7th century but rose to prominence architecturally in the 11th and 12 centuries. You begin the self-guided tour in the oldest part by walking across the drawbridge. A costumed knight takes his dagger to "punch" your ticket. It certainly grabs your attention!
    You tour through the oldest, wooden structures first and then wind your way to the newer additions. The newest "addition" is a beautiful pink castle that sits atop the hill. Because it is connected to the oldest part, it is still considered part of the 7th century castle. You can not tour the new portion because...well...people are still inhabiting it.    Read more

    Mainau 2.del

    August 9, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Det mest kendte på Mainau er nok mosaik vandfaldet. Det er også virkelig smukt. Mosaikken er guldfarvet og skinner om kap med solen. Vi kommer forbi en lille dam med åkander. I den lille bitte dam er der 3 store karper, 5 grønne frøer og en mega lang snog. Sikke en skøn naturoplevelse.
    Søren møder også en and som gerne vil dele brød med ham. ☺️
    Det er ikke første gang vi har besøgt Mainau og det bliver heller ikke sidste.    Read more

    Getting my #avgeek on with Dornier✈️

    July 28, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    As a kid (or maybe a teenager, who knows) I had 2 small hard cover books. One on military airplanes (didn’t get much attention) and one on commercial planes (got lots of attention - is anyone surprised?). Amongst the Fokker’s and early Boeing’s (it was the 90’s) I vividly remember thinking that the Dornier 328 in that book was sexy beast of an aircraft. Then brand new I wanted one! Today, (not so new) I got to see one up close and personal at the Dornier museum in Friedrichshafen (the main reason I came here).

    Avgeek mode well and truely activated I explored the two level museum, trying to take photos and avoid the small children. Some of the ‘how planes fly’ was very similar to the Zeppelin museum, but the evolution of aircraft was better here. The war (don’t talk about the war) was also touched on slightly, specifically the way aviation development in Germany was banned under the Versailles agreement. Like all good trade sanctions, a work-around meant they set up a plant in Spain instead. There was an interesting section on space development and even a fabric machine that Dornier makes - apparently the mainstay of commercial fabric weaving meets aviation.

    Located at the airport the outside exhibitions included several static displays as well as the occasional view of departing aircraft. I also got to see a Goodyear Zeppelin take off for a tour. I’d looked at going on a Zeppelin ride but a) none fitted my dates and b) it was f-off expensive (we’re taking >€200!).

    I had a big salad so big that even Elaine couldn’t complain about it in the restaurant. Very glad I came here and by the time I’d finished the drizzle had cleared up - time to do some outdoor exploring.    Read more

    Vom Schinderhannes nach Dettingen

    November 13, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Heute 26.5km

    Es war bis auf 3x30min Schauern weitgehend trocken. Von Oben.
    Schwein 🐷 gehabt, wie man im Agrar-Millieu sagen würde. Und dann war es auch noch warm! 11 Grad! Isch werd nich mehr. Hier is wat los im Süden!
    Ich hab in den Armen des Schinderhannes geschlafen wie ein Murmeltier und bin nach gutem Frühstück los. Die Dame, die mir im Frühstücksraum gegenübers ass hat gesagt, sie habe schon am Abend vorher im benachbarten Restaurant gestaunt, dass ich nur in T-shirt und kurzer Hose am Tisch sitzen würde. Ja, das macht das viele Draussen. Hab ich geantwortet. Und dann bin ich auch raus. Erst um 9;30 zum Abwarten vom Trocknen. Über die Homburg-Ruine ging es durch Güttingen und Möggingen zum Mindelsee. Ein etwas höher liegendes Gewässer, welches unter Naturschutz steht. Dahinter konnte man den Zeller See, Gnadensee und Untersee sehen. Seesicht sozusagen. Sie, die Seen, bilden in Einheit, geteilt durch die Reichenau und das NSG der Halbinsel Mettnau vor Radolfzell sowie der Höri, den unteren Arm des Bodensees.
    Danach bin ich quer über den Bodanrück nach Langenrain und weiter durch die Katharina Schlucht zum Überlinger See, dem oberen Arm (d. Bodensees, Anm. d. Red.) gelaufen. Nach kurzem, knackigen Wiederanstieg bin ich an einer grmütlich aussehenden Schlossschenke vorbei Richtung Wallhausen und rechts ab nach Dettingen, wo mein Tag heute endete. Irgendwie waren meine Beine heute faul und ich war heilfroh, heilen- und trockenen Fusses im Gasthaus zum Kreuz angekommen zu sein.

    In Güttingen habe ich endgültig den NST, - den Nord-Süd-Trail, vom Soulboy als Deutschland-Querung geschaffen, und mir ganz ganz wichtige Inspirationsquelle und, in weiten Abschnitten Leitschnur, verlassen. Der NST führt nun am nördlichen Bodensee-Ufer entlang Richtung Allgäu und endet seinerseits am südlichsten Punkt, dem Haldenwanger Eck, bei Oberstdorf.
    Mein südlichster Punkt liegt noch etwas südlicher in Zürich vor meiner Haustür. Morgen mache ich einen shorty mit den letzten Ca. 14km bis nach Konstanz und dann ist Deutschland für mich zu Ende.
    Morgen hat Petrus versprochen, H2O-mässig spätestens nach dem Mittag aus allen Rohren zu feuern, sodass ich versuchen will, bis gegen 13:00 dort zu sein. Ich bin gespannt auf den morgigen Tag. Es wird ein spannender Tag. Habt Dank für die vielen guten Wünsche für die absolvierten 3000 Fusskilometer der letzten Wochen und Monate. Jetzt sollen die letzten 100 oder so, auch noch klappen. Guten Abend Euch und allen Kranken Hasen gute Besserung!!    Read more
