Schau- und Sichtungsgarten Hermannshof
The town of Weinheim is very lucky to have this park right in the centre. It’s a show and trial garden, or a botanical garden that although it is privately owned is open to the public on most days. It was opened in the 1980s … Continue reading Schau- und Sichtungsgarten Hermannshof
Water, Water Otherwhere
My recent visit to Freudenstadt im Schwarzwald showed me only dry fountains. Even the drinking water fountain was barred up. The fish, on the rim of the fountain, was gasping for water – yet, no relief. The town does not experience a drought. I think … Continue reading Water, Water Otherwhere

The Seven Swabians
The Seven Swabians is a tale found in the collection of fairytales by the Brothers Grimm. Although grouped with fairytales, it is rather a droll story about seven not very bright, not very brave Swabians and their adventures – like fighting a hare which they mistake for a monster.
In Bad Wildbad House Swabia features a mural around some small panelled windows.
