Germany – Where the familiar quietly becomes special
Sylt – An island like a promise. North Sea, wind and wide horizons, it hardly gets more honest.
Bavaria – Tegernsee, Schliersee, Starnberger See:
mountains, reflections and a glow that stays quiet.
All clear for cucumbers! An autumn day in the Spreewald.
A day in the unhurried rhythm of water:
gliding boats, whispering reeds,
autumn light between canals – and the feeling
that slowing down sometimes happens all by itself.
Why Saxony?
A year between curiosity and unfamiliarity,
between arriving and questioning.
Observations from everyday life,
quiet realizations – and more shades of grey
than one might have expected.
Usedom with Inge.
A surprise by the sea:
long conversations, familiar paths,
wind on our faces – and the quiet happiness
of simply being together.
This page grows – with every day we don’t have to travel far to see what is beautiful.
With every place that feels familiar and suddenly looks different:
when a lake resembles the sea,
when half-timbered houses tell more than any museum.
Sometimes all it takes is breakfast outdoors,
an empty platform,
a small café on the market square.
Then we feel it:
home can also be something you encounter along the way.
And Germany is not only a country of duties –
but also of possibilities.
To stay. To move on.
Or simply to return.
