lost in the jerkwater.

a few weeks ago i went to another medieval festival with l. and some of her friends. we got lost on our way there, at least it seemed so. in fact it was totally different. the castle we visited was in such a provincial area that we almost thought we'd reached the end of the world. in the end it was one of the best medieval markets i've visited this year. small but very authentic and nice.

tuberculosis free livestock.

sheep greeting us on our way up.

we had to take a rest because the way up to the castle was so steep! and since it was very early spring all kinds of dry leaves were still lying around so i took a bath in them.

musician & jugglers.

hanging rats.

sneaking upon stylish people.

this nice guy gave me his cute ferret to hold. i was in heaven as you can see on the next photo.

it was the softest little thing!

first aid.

to the knights!

lookout.

ant photographs.

the tent of the wise woman. totally witchy!

then we had to say goodbye again.

and found huge flies on house walls!

and horses with an emperor wilhelm beard :D

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems. our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

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 ...
