The Island Lanzarote in Spain is dominated of volcano landscapes.  On the Island which belongs to the Canaries archipelago are more than 300 crater, 1824 was the last eruption and bring three new volcanos, the Tao, Tinguaton and the Chinero. The highest Mountain on this Island of Spain in Europe is the Penas del Chache with about 680 meter. I was here 3 times on holidays on this beautiful spot in the Atlantic Ocean. The highlights for tourists are the Timanfaya national park, the green lagoon (called as well the green lake) of El Golfo, Uga where you can ride camels, Arrieta where you can see rare crabs at Los Jameos del Aqua, Costa Teguise where you can play Golf in your holidays, La Geria which is famous for great wine, in Haria you will recognize 1000 Palms and many more destinations make Lanzarote to my favorite on the Canaries Islands. The Capital of Lanzarote is Arrecife, on the Playa del Reducto beach you are nearly the onliest tourist. If you like it more touristic: Playa del Carmen and Playa Blanca will be the right destination for your travel tour or for your holidays here on Lanzarote.

Hockenheim Ring – Speed Way – Germany

The Racing Car of Michael Schumacher @ Hockenheim

The Racing Car of Michael Schumacher @ Hockenheim

The Speedway at Hockenheim in Germany is the most famous racing circuit at Germany. The Hockenheim Ring is located at Baden Wuemberg in Southwest Germany. I have bin here four times till right now, two times (2002, 2003) I watched the formula 1 here on this historical place. In 1999 and 2009 I went here for a concert. In Mai 2009 the Rock’ n Roll band ACDC gave a absolute briliant concert. On formula one races the most visitors stay at the camping ground next to the speedway circuit. The organization was brilliant for the race and the camping. The atmosphere on the camping ground is nice! All people make party, party and again party the whole week till the Sunday of the race. The atmosphere on the tribunes are amazing and the sound of the cars are noisy, yust loud enough for a right racing felling on the ranks! The best way to travel here is by car over the A5 highway or by train to the train station in Hockenheim.  My highlights on the speed way was for sure the victory of the German formula 1 pilot Michael Schumacher and the ACDC concert of the Black Ice Tour in 09.

Helgoland – Germany – Europe

Lighthouse on Helgoland

Lighthouse on Helgoland

In 2003 I was with my mother on the german island Helgoland. I start in my hometown Bad Oeynhausen near Hannover in the morning to reach the ferry from Cuxhafen to the Helgoland. It was the second time on this island in the opensea. Because of the distance to the mainland is here a duty free zone. In highseason between easter and autum many people come for a daytrip to see the mainatraction ” die Lange Anna” and for shop cigarettes and alcohol. The “Lange Anna” is a high redrock in the north sea with many rare birdspecies.

When i arrived at Cuxhaven i get bad news: the waves are to high for the ferry. Than i took a small plane which land on a sandbank close to the german highsea island. We had a arpartment at “La Mer Kurmittelhaus” with a balcony to the seaside and a small kitchen for make typical “ostfriesland” tea. Because of the mass of bird kinds and the seals on the “Dühne” (=sandbank) is this area a nationalpark of Germany. Helgoland is realy small, in about 15 minutes walk you can reach once around the island. There are two parts: the highland (hochland) and the downland (unterland) which are conected by steps and a lift. On Helgoland it´s forbidden to drive car, even bikes are not aloued. The onliest car on the island in north sea belongs to the ambulance.

Between Helgoland and the small sandbank a small boat travel every hour. The sandbank is famous for many kind of seals aswell the rare coneseals (Kegelrobben). This animals are nice to watch while they come out of the cold north sea. On the highlands are some holes from english bombs of the WW2. Here is everything covert by grass and the nature dominate. The most buildings on Helgoland are on the underland. The most restaurants offer fresh fish from the northsea. On the highland is the “Krebs Café”, the owner like to tell stories about the island in the past or show some videotapes about Helgoland in the evening by a fresh draft beer.

The lonely beaches at lowseason invide for long walks, after you can rewarm in one of the small pubs by a egggrog. Even Palms you can find on a place in middle of the small village. Because of the many sunhours they grow good aswell by low european temperatures and strong wind. Helgoland is beautiful but cold and windy, i can recoment this german highsea island for a weekendtrip to relax from the boring allday turn and to see something new. For more information look inside the Lonely Planet Germany. Which you can order online from this site.

Zandvoort – Holland – Europe

2006 we was with our highshool class in the Netherlands on the northsea. The small village Zandvoort near Amsterdam was the right destination because of the good possibilities to sleep, the sea and the yanks coffeeshop in the center. We was going with two cars and was staying at the “Centerparcs Zandvoort”. The park offer nice holiday houses with many atmosphare direct in the nature for a good price.

Here we had two small houses surrounded of dunes. To the raff sea it was just five minutes walk atlong the DTM speedway. Every morning we gone to dirks supermarket and to the yanks coffeeshop to buy what we need for the day, than we was sitting by a fire in the bungalow, drinking heineken beer smoking and talking about the highschool and privat thinks. The atmosphare was nice and relaxed. Nearly every evening after sunset we took a walk on the beach to some beachpubs, drunk a beer and walk against the cold wind back.

When we arived our house we light fire in our chimney and chilled by music on the couch. The northsea here in Holland was really raff and cold and nobody want to swimm. We took out our shoes to walk in the cold water, not a realy good idea, after about five minutes we was cold. At Zandvoort there are some nice wind protected restaurants on the beach where we warm up ourself by a some heineken and hot chocolades. After we did some computergames in the pleasure parc in the center. Inside the thight streets are many small pubs where you can sit outside. The gouda chease taste amaizing of the weekendmarket which you can find in nearly every city in Holland.

One day we was driving with the train to the capital of the Netherlands. Amsterdam is beautiful! Small streets, old buildings and less trafic. Many dutch people go with the bike. Small waterstreets who invite you to do a bootstour are widespread. The people are much more relaxt than in every other capital i ever saw. Some guys of our class was shopping and we was sitting in a pub, drinking some beers and smoke a joint in a coffeeshop.

Than we did a small citytour by foot before we went back to Zandvoort for eat and chill in our Centerparks hut. Inside the mainbuilding of this park is a tropical garden with a swimmparadise with saunas under glass. The fee is allready included in the cheap bungalowprice of around twenty euros per night and head.

Some friends and me was many times before in this town on the northsea in Holland for a weekendtrip. But there we was sleeping sometimes with four people in a car so we was realy happy to have thistime a real house :) . It was a nice group instead of some people of our class, they was nearly all over the time pissed of everybody and everything. But we don´t reconised and had fun. Zandvoort is easy to reach for us, it´s about three hours motorway from my hometown near Bielefeld in Germany. I can recoment a shorttrip to the Netherlands for all people in west Germany who miss the sea and want to forget the allday turn for a while. The northsea is most of the year to cold for swimming but still Zandvoort Holland have much more to offer.

Berchtesgaden – south Germany – Europe

2001 i was with my father at Berchtesgaden by car. It was the first holiday in Bavaria for me, but not the last. Berchtesgaden is a national park in south Germany close to the border of Austria. The landscapes are dominated by mountains, Forrest and cold but beautiful lakes. Till this travel tour i don´t know how beautiful Germany can be! The people are relax and friendly. In the summer You have allot of beautiful viewpoints over the mountains with tight Forrest and small villages in the valleys.

This part of Bavarian have many sights and memorials of the WW2 because Adolf Hitler had a residence on the “Obersalzberg”. The eagles nest (ger.: Kehlsteinhaus) is on top of the mountain with a beautiful view of the surrounded mountains, sometimes the view reach till Salzburg in Austria when the weather is sunny. A. Hitler did allot of important meetings with leaders of the SS and other heads of the WW2 here at the eagles nest. Near the “Obersalzberg” is a museum in a old bunker who documentate the time of the second world war for the locals.

At Bavarian you have many options for walking thrue woods and climbing on walls, the Watsmann for example is famous for wallclimbing. Of the valley of the Watsmann mountain is the Kingslake (ger.: Königssee) where you can make boots tours to a beautiful church with a red roof. The St. Bartholome church is one of the main sights of Berchtesgaden and landmark of the kingslake (Königssee). As well famous is the echo of the walls around the kings lake. On the boatstrip a man blow for a small tip into a bugle and let bang the echo.

The national park Berchtesgaden is a paradise of nature friends! If you are lucky you can see the landmark of Germany the stone eagle while it is huntings mouses and other small animals. There are a lot trekking ways to clime up the mountains or you have on many places the option to take a cablecar or a lift witch brings in winter the sportler on the apex. The villages around Berchtesgaden invite with small glacier rivers and beautie churches for a visit.

In the evening You can enjoy bavarian draft beer in beergardens, restaurants or in the widespread small pubs in the small cobblestone streets in the center. Many time the “berchtesgadener Hofbraeuhaus” invite to a Bavarian night with draft beer, good German food and people in Bavarian liveries who make traditional dances. In the valleys you will see old Bavarian frame houses decorate with European blooms and flowers. Many guesthouses are family established and most of them still have companion animals. In this kind of hotels they will serve you homemade yoghurt, chease, fresh milk and many more homemade Bavarian dishes.

My result for Berchtesgaden in summer: Nature, nature and again nature! The national park is beautiful and the food, the wheat beer and the hospitableness of the locals is great! This part of Europe is for sure one of the beauties places in Germany. Visit Berchtesgaden and take a priese of the fresh air of the national park.
