Even though it’s a bit cold and muddy outside, today, while we’re still living in Kassel, we took the opportunity to take another look at the city from above. This time from the Bismarck Tower.

Hiking in the Alps!

Yesterday, we returned from a 5-day vacation in the Bavarian Alps, and it was absolutely wonderful!

Hiking in the Alps?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

As my girlfriend finally finished her last exams last week, and now we have time for enjoyable activities again, we used yesterday to do another hike in the surrounding area.

Walking through the park. 🚶‍♂️ I’ll definitely miss this nice area once we move away from Kassel! 🌇

A weekend with my family

This past weekend, I visited my family in the south of Germany. I wasn’t there for quite some time. On one day, we went to Biel in Switzerland, walking through the Taubenloch (“pigeonhole”, a canyon right next to the city) and sitting on a boat that took us across Lake Biel. It was quite picturesque.

Where the Eder flows into the Fulda

Published on in 💬 Micro

Just in time before it gets cold and rainy again next week, I took advantage of today to go for a short bike ride. Upstream along the Fulda, over to the Eder and then to where the Eder flows into the Fulda. This was the short (49 km) of the two versions I had planned for this. The longer version is almost 90 kilometers long. Let’s see if I can still do it this year…

This time, I just took my “Komoot phone” (the Galaxy XCover7) with me, and that worked fine. I don’t always need to have two phones on my tours! 😅

Yesterday, we rented a shared car and drove 50 km to the Edersee near Kassel, where we hiked a bit. There’s a castle up on one hill and the view was spectacular! It was definitely an active weekend. 😊
