The pedestrian high street of Forchheim has an artificial streamlet running through it. A joy for children at all times, a bane for parents on cold days. Bächla is stream in the local dialect.

The Heidelberg Motor-Boot-Club
in front of the “Heidelberg Childhood-Haus”. The name is a quite unusual mix of English and German as this institute is a part of the Childhood foundation. It was opened in September 2019 by Queen Silvia from Sweden (a native of Heidelberg).

Once There Was a Wonderful Playground
and then there motions, and applications, and petitions, and acclamations. And now the playground is only open according to a strict timetable and the water has been drained.
What a Place It Was
Being sick (just a stinking cold but bad enough) had the advantage of having time to go through old photos.
This one is from the early 2000s. The location is near Neos Marmaras on the middle finger of the Chalkidiki peninsula (no insult intended).
Smallish Nature Reserve
I discovered a small nature reserve near the next town, idyllically wedged between an autobahn intersection and a recycling yard. Only declared as a nature reserve in 1980 it was orginally a lake excavated for gravel. Apparently, it’s a sanctuary for a variety of local birds, even a few not so common ones.
I say apparently because I couldn’t judge for by myself. There is one place from which it can be glimpsed, through an overgrown fence. The local allotments, fenced and only accessible for plot holders, offer an unobstructed view – or so the town’s PR site tells me. Hrmphf.
