Schweden, Tag minus 3
August 3, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
nach der 1. Augustfeier (Nationalfeiertag) mit der ganzen Familie im Zentrum des Universums (Erlen bei Neunkirch) und dem feucht-fröhlichen (weil regnerischem) Geburtstagsfest von Balz (50), an ebendieser Örtlichkeit, starteten wir zu unserer Schwedenreise.
Unser erster Stopp ist Schweinfurt. Wir stehen auf dem städtischen Stellplatz und erkunden die schöne Altstadt zu Fuss, dazu gehört auch leckeres Essen und Dessert, an dessen Qualität der Regen nichts anhaben kann.Read more

Glass blowing master
November 25, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ -1 °C
Karl Ittig gave a demonstration of glass blowing. He was amazing and hilarious. Quite enjoyable. We talked to his grandchildren. 16 & 18. Eighth generation to the craft and the nicest kids I ever met. Grandparents, parents, and kids all live in the same house. They look at Deb's art and said she doesn't charge enough.Read more
Traveler Well good for them to tell her that. I’ll bet she was in heaven watching them.

Pausenplatz - Sand am Meer
August 9, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
… eehm - Sand am Main … 😜

Die von Theo Steinbrenner geschaffene Bronzefigur ist ein tolles Kunstwerk.
Mit diesem wunderbaren Kunstwerk soll an die lange Tradition des in Sand ansässigen Korbflechtens und Korbhandels erinnert werden.
Darum sind die bequemen Sitzbänke auch geflochten …Read more

Walzenwehr - Schweinfurt
August 8, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Das erste Walzenwehr der Welt wurde im Jahre 1903 von MAN entworfen und 400m oberhalb von hier erbaut. Nach 60-jährigem Betrieb wurde es durch die neue Staustufe ersetzt.
Der Antrieb und das angetriebene Ende des zur seiner Errichtung aufsehenerregenden Walzwehres (Länge der Walze 35m, Durchmesser 2m) wurde im Jahre 1965 hier aufgestellt.
Die neue Staustufe als Glied der Grossschifffahrtsstrasse „Rhein-Main-Donau“ wurde am 4. Oktober 1963 zusammen mit dem neuen Hafen der Stadt Schweinfurt und der neuen Max-Brücke feierlich eingeweiht.Read more

Day 7
Train and Flight Chaos
August 17, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
I was up relatively early today for a day of travelling from Hohnhausen to Innsbruck in Austria.

A quick coffee at Simon’s and then he took me to Ebern to catch a very local train to Bamberg. As always I’m sad to leave friends behind, especially after a lovely few days but it’s time for my next country and to rendezvous with Olly ❤️

I got to Bamberg Hbf ok and then a bit of, apparently normal according to Simon, German train chaos - one broken down train blocking a platform at the station, and engineering works causing delays. This did give me some extra time at the station.

Meanwhile…in London Olly was having problems of his own with broken down trains, and security pass issues. The good news is he got his bags dropped, and on the way to Munich. The bad news is he didn’t make the flight!

The BA team did however booked him onto the next flight so it all worked out in the end 😀Read more

Day 6
Hiking Bramberg
August 16, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
A nice lazy start to the morning with freshly brewed coffee, and freshly baked brezel and brot 🤤.

Simon, Sebastian and I then went for a hike up Bramberg; a local hill with the ruins of Burg Bramberg at the top. At 494m high the castle was one of the signal fires for the Würzburg region (very much like the signal fires in Lord of the Rings The Two Towers). The castle was destroyed during the German Peasants' War in 1525.

It was a nice walk up the wooded hillside and the views were spectacular at the top. It was also really lovely to see Simon jumping the ruins as this was where he grew up and so he knew where and how to climb with ease.

We wandered back down the hill a slightly different route and came into the village a new direction.Read more

Visite du parc animalier de Schweinfurt.
Ouvert et gratuit toute l’année, merci à la ville de mettre ce bel endroit à disposition.
Nous avons pu y voir toutes sortes d’animaux, grands, petits, curieux, méfiants.
Parmi eux, des cochons, des biches, des rennes, des highlands, des chouettes, un lynx, des chèvres et j’en passe.
Mélody a fait la connaissance des petites chèvres qui se sont montrées très curieuses. Elle a même eu le privilège de faire un tour à dos de chèvre.Read more
