Winterwanderung zur Gemmi

Wie der Zufall so spielt, stand ich im März 2022 vor der Herausforderung eine der mehrmals pro Jahr bei COOP angebotenen Spartageskarten für die Schweiz in den Händen zu halten ohne einen Plan zu haben, wohin es gehen könnte.

Taking the Slow Train Through the Harz Mountains

Not far away from Braunschweig in the Eastern part of the Harz Mountains lies a large narrow-gauge railway network where steam engines still operate on most services. In order to tour almost the entire network, my colleague and I started our tour in Quedlinburg, which is easily reached by a regional train from Magdeburg.

We are celebrating the 50th birthday of the Tokaido Shinkansen with a limited-edition Tenugui, which was on sale in Nagoya this summer exclusively.
