Just another walk in the park...

OK, so I found a new daily walk that's pure nature. Instead of heading into town as I approach the park, I decided to see how far Kurpark goes in the other direction. And what a beautiful path I found. It was finally somewhat sunny and bright outside...though I'm not complaining...I've been following the weather back home. I went all the way to the end and then started taking pics on my way back. There is a mini-grove of what I call the "Wiesbaden Redwoods." These trees are so tall and stately.


There's a nice babbling brook along the way. The trail follows this all through the park which is more like a ravine.



And even some garden plots with potting sheds - right there in the park. These plots look like community gardens provided by the city.


I'm not sure how old some of these homes are, but some clearly made it through 2 world wars. They are really well-maintained and most are likely broken into apartments. There is an interesting mix of modern and old even in the old sections of town.


This is a little garten cafe that you can stop at for Kaffee or wine! What a choice...let's see, it's about 11am, better go with the Kaffee.


Each home is really unique (you historic-home-lovers in Brookings would love these).


These trees are so interesting. They are also on the "Michigan Ave. of Wiesbaden" - Wilhelm Strasse. By the size of the trunks, they must be really old.


There's an aerated pond that stays open in the winter and some wildlife there that remind us of home. Are these different than SD Mallards? Mark, George, Tom, anyone?

The walk is really great...a little over an hour and away from the well-dressed, fur-coated women in town! Can't wait for the magnolia's to bloom! Hurry Spring.

Tschuss!
