vacation adventures #6. a few weimar pictures + castle eckartsburg + a walk through bad sulza.

these are the last pictures of my vacations at my parents'. we visited weimar again to see the museum of the town palace. it was very interesting and i liked the exhibition about impressionism the most! unfortunately i didn't make many pictures, because i was afraid that some of the people who work there might be offended.
the other day we decided to see castle eckartsburg and its surroundings, afterwards we made a stop in bad sulza. after walking around for a while we went swimming in the toskanaworld spa. all in all a perfect ending.

a squat in weimar. lovely graffito!

this is the neo-classical stairway in the town palace. pretty impressive.

the ilm water returned to its normal state.

first signs of spring!

castle eckartsburg.

another round of my 'private' project - sitting on benches with my family. haha.

remains of a FDJ-camp. this was a youth organization in the GDR.

and then we drove to bad sulza.

fini!

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

july '20: a boat ride across the lakes.

starting point in malchow harbour. when you're in the mecklenburg lakelands you need to do some of the many boat rides they offer up all around the various lakes! that's really sort of the best way to get a little overview over the many lake destinations and being on the water and feeling the wind on your face ( or the rain 😂 ) and seeing the life in the water and the landscapes around you, it's just special, i think! they often also tell you historic bits and pieces of the lakes, informing you on possible sights you should seek out, too! when you book a tour, you can choose between big day trips crossing several lakes, depending from where you start, or you can choose short rides that last a couple of hours and perhaps even have a theme like a sunset tour or a romance tour ( possibly with romantic dinner for two options 😉 ). from malchow you can choose between two tour providers: reederei pickran & the blau-weiße-flotte . there are tours that include up to 7 lakes, ...
