Re: The pictures taken by you thread

Beautiful. I was not too far away from you a couple of weeks back. Visited Bad Bergzabern, a small dorf west of Karlsruhe.

[Uli]

You're in Germany too often.
Let me know if you're ever gonna be in (or near) Ulm or Stuttgart.

[Soulmonster]

Will do. Next destination is Berlin (next week) then Frankfurt some time in December.

View of an old castle:

[Soulmonster]

That looks like Alsace.

[Uli]

But it isn't - this is not far from where I live (about 30 mins drive by car). There is a café/restaurant on the castle - usually very busy on a Sunday afternoon, but I was lucky: it had rained heavily on that afternoon, when the weather cleared I went to the castle and had a coffee while enjoying this view (with only very few other people on the terrace).

[Soulmonster]

Beautiful place.

I will go going to Baden-Baden nest month, actually. Close to where you are at?

[Uli]

Uh, it's in the Black Forest region, which isn't too far, but the problem is the mountains which are in the way.
Tbh I'd have to look up how to get to Baden Baden... (never been there; well, maybe when I was a kid)!
September? Maybe we can set up something closer to the date.

[Soulmonster]

Ah, I drove through the Black Forest region this Easter. My wife and I celebrated our 10 years wedding anniversary and spent the Easter in Alsace. We flew in and out fro Stuttgart. So going to Stuttgart we drove direct from Strasbourg through the Black Forest.

My trip to Baden Baden is just quickly up and down. I won't have time to meet, unfortunately. Remind me, where in Germany are you? I am typically in Germany 2-3 times per year, so it should be possible to meet up

What a breed the dogs are?

[Soulmonster]

Whippet. Like small greyhound. Highly recommended.

Just a few posts above yours I mentioned it already.
Somewhere in/near Stuttgart should be possible. I am between Stuttgart and Munich.

If I'll ever go to Baden Baden, I will probably take the "scenic route" through the Black Forest instead of the motorway.

[Soulmonster]

I think it is a bit annoying that we have visitors because I really want to sit by myself and transcribe interviews

Where is this?
Very beautiful.

[Soulmonster]

We were walking from Gjendebu to Torfinnsbu in the southern parts of the mountain area Jotunheimen.

[Uli]

Well, I was off for a while; here you can see why!

Very nice places and from you Uli :-)

I'm thinking about doing Fjällräven Classic(http://classic.fjallraven.com/) next year.

I have never heard about that trek before, and also never hiked in that area. It looks beautiful, and I have driven through northern Sweden many times.

Photo of the Hohenzollern castle in south Germany (I took from a valley behind it):

[Soulmonster]

I was almost there! On my way back to Stuttgart from Baden-Baden I considered driving to Hohenzollern, but I didn't have the time so instead I visited the Old Castle above Baden-Baden. I wish I had more time, because Hohenzollern looks spectacular!

I actually stayed at a castle in Neuweier, Schloss Neuweier, but it is a less fortified castle. Still quit spectacular

It's quite nice, very busy on weekends though. You'll have to pay for the parking lot etc. etc.

Is the castle above Baden-Baden good? I visited the castle above Nagold yesterday, wich was not bad at all:

[Soulmonster]

There are two castles in Baden-Baden. The old one was abandoned in the 14th century, I believe, and that was the one I visited. I was impressed by its size. Just awesome. But that is probably more to do with me being inexperienced with castles than anything else It was partly restored and really cool. I will post some pictures later

[Soulmonster]

Here are the castle pictures.

[Soulmonster]

And some pictures from today.

[Uli]

Thanks, castle in Baden-Baden does look good, must visit one day.

Sunset last week:

Do you have snow in Norway? Today we had about 26 degrees C in Sofia...

We had a little bit of snow some days ago, but where I live it is all gone now
