Sept Adventures 2023: Teufelsmauer Timmenrode Hike

Today we hiked part of the Teufelsmauer from Timmenrode

This was so much fun! All the rocks!

The trail starts as a trail

It was interesting as the rocks are just in the middle of this farmland.

After a while the trail turns into climbing on the rocks! You could also take a lower route and keep to a trail, but the climbing all over was so much fun!

At the end of the trail by Blankenburg was this rock you could climb on top of

But you had to climb up the steep rocks!

After a short break here it was time to head back towards Timmenrode along a different path

Much more forested

But still rocky

We were walking along and all of a sudden there was this tiny staircase in the ground on the edge of the trail

That lead to this little foxhole! It was pretty cool, just a small room, but would be good if you needed shelter

After our hike we headed back to Thale and decided to wander a bit more around town

We had decided that we were going to go back to Treseburg for dinner where we had a break the day prior as they had lots of options. Along the way was the Rossetrappe viewpoint on the opposite side of the valley than we had hiked so we thought why not stop for a quick peak?

A highlight is this horseshoe print left by a fleeing princess who had to jump across the gorge to escape the guy who wanted to force her to marry him. This was apparently made when the horse landed

This was really gorgeous and I was glad we stopped.

Treseburg

Back at Zur Luppbode for dinner of burgers which were super tasty (but no photos!) This place was a great find and they had a lot of vegan options, but I hadn't see anything about it in my searches for food in the area.

After dinner we decided to go back to the Rossetrappe viewpoint to see the sunset. When we were there earlier it looked like the perfect spot to watch from as the sun would set almost directly across from the viewpoint

Such a fun day! All the hiking and all the views!

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

The final days in Paris

Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...

Den Haag, Netherlands Part 3

Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester. Though we were there on the last day which was the kids day. It was fun as we were sitting outside and at the stage people were teaching kids how to play things and DJ and stuff. I got the Hippie Buddah Bowl (Bulgur, sweet potato, bald, roasted chickpeas, tahini dressing, avocado, black sesame seeds) with the Fennel mint pear juice And Raymond had the Apple Pear Ginger juice and the Veggie Roast Bowl (mushrooms, red onion rings, rocket, Parmesan cheese, olive oil). Super tasty lunch! A stop at More Pastry for more treats - Peanut butter chocolate tart - so good! And the...
