Brandenburger Tor - first part of our sightseeing tour in Berlin

Today we had a great sightseeing tour in Berlin. We startet in Pankow......

 

 We had to wait 10 minutes for the “S-Bahn“

 

Finally our train took us to the city

Our first stop was at Brandenburger Tor

 

We wanted to go inside the legendary Hotel Adlon, but the girl at the door sayed no. Maybe our dress was not good enough.

Snow, snow, snow

As much as we enjoy the winter fun..

At the Ski Jumping Worldcup

 

On saturday we visited the ski jumping worldcup in Willingen.

We had a look a the ski jump from bottom up... 

 

...and top down on the crowd, almost like the jumpers.

 

 

Here you can see the team of the mountain rescue service, which was in charge of the medical service. 

Winter Wonderland

 

We hadn't seen a lot of snow so far this winter, so we were delighted to take a long walk in the snow at the Essigberg near Kassel.

 

At the Reinhardswald

Today we ha another great walk through the virgin forest around the Sababurg.

 

 

The Sababurg claims to be the original castle of Thornrose.

 

 

The forest around it, the Reinhardswald has been untouched by human beings for hundreds of years.

 

 

It has a tale of its own: Lord Reinhard lost his land gambling and made the deal. He was allowed to sow and harvest one more time on his land.

 

He sowed acorns and it took more then his lifetime and the lifetime of many of his descendents until the oak grew big enough to be felled. That's how the Reinhardswald was created.
