The articles we have created during our tour in Germany will be published here soon. Till then there is short information about Germany, the country.

If you ever have the opportunity to stay in Friedrichshafen, you should definitely take a few minutes to admire the take-off and landing processes of the impressive airships of modern design, the zeppelins.

During our travels along Roman roads, we were traveling from Augsburg in the direction of Zurich when the decision was made to lay the route in such a way that a Lake Constance passage from Meersburg to Constance was on the way.

In their policy of expansion across the Alps, the Rhine and the Danube initially formed the borders of the Roman Empire, which created a major kink in the border line through the Rhine.

After our initial enthusiasm during the visit to the Chair Museum, we were now interested in seeing the entire Vitra premises.

During the extensive breakfast together with Norbert, Lothar and Ursel in Ellwangen on the following Sunday morning, the conversation quickly reached the visit to the Alamannen Museum from the day before and it is therefore only a small step until we also talk about the topic of the Alamannen and old cultures of the region the Romans and the course of the Limes.

We are driving from Augsburg in the direction of Kitzingen and had arranged to meet our friend Norbert by phone, who had moved back to Germany from Alanya about 2 years ago.

On Saturday we arrived in Ellwangen around 1 p.m. Thanks to the excellent satellite navigation, it was easy to find the large, public car park in the city center on the B 290, from which it is just a few meters to the Alamannen Museum at Haller Straße 9, enough time for a short tour of the city to insert.

During our visit to Weil am Rhein we also wanted to explore the town and surroundings of Lörrach, in particular the Rötteln Castle, as part of a day visit.

The further tour after visiting the chair museum then brought us to the Vitra slide tower, also known as the Vitra Slide Tower, a 30.74 meter high observation and slide tower and thus another work of art experience in Weil am Rhein, which magically attracts children in particular.

Our research during our visit to Weil am Rhein also revealed that there has been an interesting viewing tower in the park area on the border of Weil and Basel since the state garden show "Grün 99", which understandably immediately aroused our interest.

A customer visit had taken us to the Weil am Rhein area, an opportunity that we naturally wanted to use to explore the region. So we had found accommodation at the entrance to Weil, which should enable us to walk through the Rhine via the well-known Dreiländerbrücke (French Passerelle des Trois Pays).

The repetition of a television program on the subject of "extraordinary activities" had made us aware of the activities of Sepp Bögle who is building stone-stacks to small art works without adding any glue or other helping materials in Radolfzell during the summer.

Although the Eurobike and Outdoor Fair were the official occasion of our visit to Friedrichshafen this time, the central city on the northern shore of Lake Constance and the county seat of the Lake Constance district has much more to offer.

Very extensively we had visited archaeological sites from Greek and Roman antiquity during our camper-cultural trip, had discussed their dissemination areas and cultural achievements, and had repeatedly encountered the Celts and their cultural assets.

After our visit of the Celtic Museum in Hochdorf, Rainer led us along the biking route to the outskirts, where there is a huge Celtic hilltop, which was reconstructed after the excavations.

Our tours along the Celtic cycle path finally brought us to the Hohenasperg, thecastle mountain, which was already settled during the Stone Age and by 500 BC was even a Celtic princely seat with an escape castle.

And again, our hosts, Heidi and Rainer, had come up with an interesting bike tour that was to guide us through the wonderful Lower Remstal to the city of Waiblingen, which is a medieval town known for its connections with the royalties of Staufer. Especially the Old Town area, with its magnificent half-timbered houses, points to the long history of the city, which was particularly important in the Middle Ages.

Deeply impressed by the huge park of the Ludwigsburger Residential Palace, which we got to know during the street music festival, we had started to a tour of the city, which should bring us further peculiarities of this planned town at the beginning of the eighteenth century together with Heidi and Rainer.

Our first visit to Waiblingen by bicycle through the Lower Remstal had led us into the mediaeval town center of Waiblingen, which had a lot of interesting half-timbered houses, remains of the city wall and the High Observing Tower on the Zwinger, which are really visitable places, not to forget the Park-like landscape on the Remsinsel (island).
