Lindach

A few hours relaxing and then Simon and I headed to Hirschfeld to watch the demolition of two 143m tall nuclear cooling towers at Grafenrheinfeld Nuclear Power Station, Germany’s oldest nuclear power station. We walked up a hill with some of Simon’s friends, along with seemingly all the locals who had a similar idea! The hill, and every surrounding one as well, was filled with onlookers!

The explosion was due to happen at 1830hrs but was delayed due to a glider getting too close, and then a pro nuclear protestor had climbed a pylon nearby which nearly stopped play completely. Luckily they got them down and so they could continue with the demolition at 1955hrs. The pictures don’t do it justice!

Back to Simon’s friend’s house for a nice aubergine lasagne type dish - which was pretty tasty! And then home to bed, an unusual but cool day 6 of the adventure!Read more
