christmas markets & candyfloss skies.

throughout december i've been visiting several christmas markets, starting with the one in aachen and followed by the ones in rüdesheim, erfurt & weimar. even though it was too warm last december the feeling of christmas never fails.

walking through the streets of erfurt.

the huge christmas pyramid of the erfurt christmas market.

erfurt cathedral & church st. severus.

one of the most beautiful houses in erfurt: zum breiten herd.

these fluffy rabbits could be admired on the rüdesheim christmas market.

their little pompom tails are the best <3 p="">

on the way back to our car the sky turned candy cotton colours. it was one of the best sun sets i've ever seen.

the whole mood of the sceneries, beyond magnificient.

the three of us in front of the rhine. me, s. and jasmin.

the colours faded away and turned into a pastel violet.

these things should happen a bit more often so that it will remind me of a world that is more than war, blackmail, enforcement and stupidious humans.

in the forests.

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, ...
