Strolling around in Nordhorn I saw soooo much ice -café´s. I was really surprised. The weather was perfect to have an ice-cream so we had one at Dolce Vita, and it was really yummy, very very good!

chancay Says: Next to a dam their are fish stairs to make it possible for some sweet water fishes to swim against the river direction and pass the dam building. This is very important for some fishes who have to reach their places to spawn.
