in erfurt there's a forest called steigerwald, and it's basically where erfurt citizen go, if they want to relax and clear their minds. you can see a lot of joggers and cyclists around there. there's a long established italian restaurant up there, too, a ( not so ) secret ( anymore ) institution, which serves fantastic italian cuisine and solid home-brewed beer. we were visiting my brother in erfurt and thus decided to do a little walk there. it's a rather swampy area, so if you leave the paths it can happen that you end up with wet feet if you're not cautious.
a lot of anemones were growing at the time we were there, white and soft lilac ones.
boggy swamp! i'd have really loved it to explore more, but my companions didn't want to.
light blue tiny blossom.
tulips by a bench.
old boundary stone.
the park near my flat is so beautiful in spring. always.
a view onto wiesbaden and the taunus mountains in the back.
i discovered a breathtaking graffiti while roaming around near the schlachthof. this is by far my most favourite graffiti in the whole city.
schlachthof sculpture. the schlachthof is a cultural centre right next to the main station. concerts, flea markets & festivals are taking place here, and it's a rather cool institution. every year the schlachthof hosts a festival called folklore - they showcase a mishmash of all kinds of music styles in a kind of hippie-esque surrounding. this year it will be a bit more expensive than in the past years, but i think 25 euro for a festival day is quite okay-ish if you want to spend a whole day there. and like i said, there are a lot of interesting artists and bands and nice activities.
