But Will You Find Your Way Back?

· 5 Comments ·

If you follow this signpost you end up in the Kellerwald of Forchheim. It is where the for hundreds of years the beer brewers of Forchheim in Franken have stored their beer to keep it fresh (and cool): The forest is on a hill and there are 23 cellars dug into the hill, very similar to what I imagine hobbit holes to be like. Together they form what is probably the largest, certainly the most charming beer garden in the world.

I Think the Little Cloud Is Lost

Less sky, more green. But the sky itself would have been undefinably whitish grey. I took this photo on the banks of the river Neckar. A couple of kilometres up the river there would have been the Heidelberg castle on the slopes.

It looked quite atmospheric and not at all like spring. But that’s what you get in April. April is a mixed bag.

I’m a Fan of the Kanzelbach

· 6 Comments ·

The village of Schriesheim, less than 10 kms to the south of us, has a stream running through the village called Kanzelbach. This is not unusual since Schriesheim is built on the slopes of the Odenwald like many other towns and villages along the Bergstraße. Streams descend from the hills, cross the plain and join the River Rhein.

But in Schriesheim they did something special to their little waterway as you can see.

Without Asparagus Everything Is Just Bananas!

· 11 Comments ·

Around May there is kind of madness that descends on Germans. They go bananas over white asparagus. They eat it with meat, with ham, with pancakes, on its own, usually with a sauce hollandaise or a bechamel sauce. They even paint their houses with it. Proper fanatics.

BTW: The writing properly translated means: Without asparagus, life is unimportant.
