So far my travels have taken me from Berlin to Dresden to Leipzig to Nuremberg to Rothenburg to Munich to Mittenwald to Salzburg to Berchtesgaden to Stuttgart to Gengenbach to Heidelberg to Frankfurt, and today I add another. Took the morning train today to the not too far away city of Köln, known in the … More Of Churches And Chocolate…

So, today was in my view pretty unique. As my family is half German, I decided shortly before my trip how cool it would be to visit the town my ancestors came from. About 55 miles west of Frankfurt lies the itty bitty town of Spabrücken, in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate for all … More Homeland, Germany

After my sweet free breakfast I walked a ways to the Senckenburg Museum of Natural History…and I guess more or less recent history. Though on the way I passed a strange very tall ‘2d’ statue of a man holding and swinging his hammer (the arm does slowly swing up and down). I had seen a … More The Hero Of Time, And A Unicorn Bird

Du Stadt am ehren Reich. Am Neckar und am Rhein, kein andere kommt dir gleich. The first lines of an old song praising the beauty of Heidelberg, my short pit stop after my adventures in Gengenbach and Europa Park. It is a pretty town located on a river between 2 hills. The main draw of … More Alt Heidelberg du feine…

Europa Park is a massive amazingly awesome theme park in the city of Rust, extremely closer to the French-German Border. It’s quality and excitement is on par with Disneyland, and beats Dland in so many ways. First, the train trip there, and back, + full park admission and a park lunch is less than half … More Europa Park

I am now awaiting a cease and desist letter from Disney demanding I immediately change the name of this post. Today was an uneventful day, except leaving Stuttgart on a train that was delayed for 12 minutes, and reached the station 25 minutes late making me miss my layover train. Though luckily there was another … More Into The Woods

About 40 miles south of Stuttgart lies the inpenetrable fortress of the Hohenzollern family. Also known as Hohenzollern Castle. It is situated high on a hill in the Swabian Alps, kinda like the rest of the Alps, but not nearly as impressive. Much of the state of Baden-Württemburg (which is in south western Germany. Germany … More Burg Hohenzollen

And I’m quite serious. I started out towards Hohenpark, a neat area a short walk away. I was immediately surprised by all the super modern buildings, everything here (at least in my district) looks like buildings from the future it is very awesome. There are fountains all over, and artsy things everywhere too. But in … More Today Was A Big Pile of Waste!

Now this is a story about how I got around today and I’d like to use this post to tell you how I got to the town of Stuttgart. In Berchtesgaden up and out I got to the train station where I spend most of my days rushin’ and runnin’ ready to board the bus … More The Travel Day of Bel-Germany
