frankfurt zoo.

the day started out with a visit to an exhibit: animals inside out by günther von hagens. totally worth it, even though we travelled with a little girl. you couldn't take pictures, but i recommend you to have a look at the link to see what awaits you ( in any case you should be visiting london in the near future. ) i slowly am starting to explore this chaotic and ( in my opinion ) huge city called frankfurt now one of my best friends is moving here to start academic studies. until now, i haven't found my love for it. i guess i never will, everytime i visited it was chaotic and made me have all kinds of anxieties. maybe though, with little steps i can try to deposit some of these the more i venture into this city. i know there are good things to be found, but at the moment, this city is too overwhelming for my 'little-town' heart. it just beats for nature not huge cities. 

and then we visited the frankfurt zoo the first time. we haven't seen all yet and we want to go back and explore more. what i've seen until now, was great, though. nothing beats animals :D

an entry to the subway stations. whimsy idea, non?

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, ...
