Okay, Rothenburg is nice. But it´s by far not the only romantic little town. If you are in the area, why don´t you see the towns in Franconia, like Würzburg, Nürnberg, Bamberg etc. not all of them have maintained their complete historical face due to war destructions, but you´ll find the works of famous sculpturs like Veit Stoss (by the way, he also created the famous altar in St. Mary´s church in Cracow) or Tilman Riemenschneider, or the pictures of Albrecht Durer. And in September or October you might visit some 'weinfest' along the villages of the Main when the new wine has been harvested. The young wine is called Federweisser (be careful, its sour and you feel very bad if you have too much of it!!) and the traditional side dish is onion cake (Zwiebelkuchen or, as locals say, Zwiebelblootz). The wine in this area is very dry and has a characteristic 'earthy' flavor Leave a Comment

Sometimes I get the impression that most of Germany aside from Heidelberg, Rothenburg at the Tauber, Neuschwanstein castle, Blackforest and Rhine are off the beaten track for most tourists. at least for those who booked some package tour of scenic Germany.... Leave a Comment

The Rhön mountains between Hessia and Bavaria remind me a bit to the bieszczady mountains in poland. They are not mountains, rather big hills with dense woods and big seas of grass on the tops. I recommend a hike to the Kreuzberg - at the summit there is a monastery of Franciscan monks who provide shelter and food. They have a brewery as well and their beer is excellent, especially if you arrive slightliy panting after some hours of hiking on a hot summer day Leave a Comment

Hackescher Hoefe
This beautiful set of early 20 century building is often not mentioned in guides. Labirynth of restaurants, backyards, cafes, fountains and halls will show you the most luxourious buildings in Berlin. Have a look and notice the ceramic walls on one of the building. (How to get there? Get off the SBahn on 'Hackescher Markt' station).
UPDATE: Lately they added a new entrance and a new "Hof": Rosenhof - it's really beautiful!

The town of Lindau is located on the coast of Bodensee. It is an ancient town that is surrounded by the lake.
The seated lion is the proud symbol of Bavaria. He is carved from marble and looks out over the lake from the harbor. The old lighthouse stands on top of the remains of the 13th century walls. Leave a Comment
