 Titisee-Neustadt, in southern
Germany by pchamlis
We went for a nice walk in Titisee-Neustadt back in 1994. Unfortunately, I parked somewhere that was restricted (I didn't see the prohibition sign) and received a parking ticket. It was Sunday and I couldn't find the place to pay the 20 Mark fine. As we were staying in Switzerland, I had to leave Germany with the issue unresolved.
When I returned to America, I put a 20 Mark note in an envelope and sent a letter to the city of Titisee-Neustadt. A few weeks later, I received the most friendly and helpful return message. They almost apologized for having given me a ticket, and praised me graciously for taking the time to write and settle the debt. They specifically asked that I come to city hall on my next visit, saying that it would be their pleasure to show me around town.
What a friendly place, and just another example of the beauty of travel. A parking ticket leads to another worldwide friendship and happy experience. Leave a Comment

 The train station in Wiesbaden by pchamlis
If you ride out to Wiesbaden, you'll find a city of parks and historic spas. epending on your attitude towards public bathing, it could be a relaxing, low-impact way to spend an afternoon. ; ) Leave a Comment

 Sara and I try our hands at
rowing by pchamlis
In the accompanying photo, I am letting my daughter help row the boat. From an efficiency standpoint, it was a bad idea. But from a father-daughter bonding plan, it "rode high in the water". : ) Leave a Comment

 Erfurt by AndreSTGT
Erfurt's most amazing sight is Krämerbrücke, a medieval bridge lined by two rows of houses. You can climb the belfry of the church at the western end of the bridge for great views over the city.
Other interesting places to see are the former university quarter Andreasstadt with a couple of nice patio cafés and beer gardens and 'Fischmarkt', a medieval town square with some brilliantly beautiful Renaissance houses. Leave a Comment

 Spreewald by AndreSTGT
The dense jungle-like forest is traversed by canals and river arms which form the main transport arteries in the area, there are no roads or cars, there is, however, a quaint village called Lehde in the forest with plenty of nice beer gardens. To get there, hire a canoe for the day. The farther you paddle away from the main town of Lübbenau, the wilder the forest gets, a true jungle experience in the middle of an industrialized country.
The Spreewald is famous in Germany for its delicious cucumbers and the locals are all cucumber-crazy, you can't leave without trying all the different varieties. Leave a Comment
