A new way of entertainment - escape rooms
What is an "Escape Game" to begin with? As the title suggests, this post is about my experience in an Escape Room. For those of you who don't know what that is, Escape Games or Escape the Room Games belong to the genre of adventure games. They are mostly browser games based on the Adobe Flash platform, which are typically controlled by "point-and-click"....
A Sea Life in Germany
It's weekend and the sun was shining - perfect conditions for a trip, right? ^^ After we had checked out quite a bit of Switzerland, it was time again for a trip in Germany. As you probably know by now, I'm very close to Lake Constance. So I googled for attractions there and found the Sea Life in Constance.
Technorama - a museum to touch
If you are interested in museums of a special kind, you should take a closer look at the Technorama in Winterthur (once again Switzerland xD). The Technorama is a science and exhibition center distributed on three levels, in which "touching" is allowed and desired.
You can feed monkeys with Popcorn?!
Somewhere in Germany, there is a mountain with monkeys. And you can feed these monkeys with popcorn. Does that sound crazy? Yes, it does! Is it worth the experience? Absolutely! I learned about the money mountain in Salem through stories and thought to myself, "Hey, I should have done this at least once in my life." The idea of "monkeys...
A view over four countries thanks to the Pfänder
Today we are not going to Switzerland. The day trip goes to the neighboring country, to Austria ^^ There is the Pfänder, a mountain that belongs to the Allgäu Alps and is located at the eastern end of Lake Constance. To get up to the Pfänder there is a mountain railroad, the Pfänderbahn. This is an aerial cableway in Bregenz. The cable car connects the valley station...
The Stilt houses in Unteruhldingen
Today we will not go on a city trip ^^ Today we will go to Lake Constance, more precisely to the stilt houses. And for those wondering what stilt houses are, here is the definition from Wikipedia: "Stilt houses (also called pile dwellings or lake dwellings) are houses raised on stilts (or piles) over the surface of the soil or a body of water. A Unesco World Heritage Site The pile dwellings...
Lucerne - how do I get up on that bridge?
Today we went once again by car to Switzerland. As I said, since my rehab was right on the border, it thus offered the optimal conditions to visit Switzerland. And because we always like to look at big cities, we have picked out Lucerne this time. Simply typed Lucerne city center into the navi and off we went. When we arrived there...
When you see people on inflatable ducks
It was sunny and warm, a perfect day to check out Zurich! Past the airport and straight into the city center, we searched like crazy for a handicapped parking space there. In Germany, there are usually signs marking such a parking space. So our eyes automatically went up. Too late we noticed that the marking was to be found in Switzerland on the ground...
Stein am Rhein
Stein am Rhein - our next destination! This small town is known for its picturesque old town. Old town? At this point most of the alarm bells are ringing in the head of a wheelchair user. Because sidewalks in an old town are always so bad to navigate because of all the cobblestones. But let me tell you, everything is only half as bad ^^ On to Switzerland. It was weekend...
Rhinefalls - one of the biggest waterfalls in Europe
I was now back in Germany for some time and was able to acclimatize accordingly. To get back on my feet, I was meanwhile in a rehab clinic at the southernmost point of Germany, the Hegau Jugendwerk in Gailingen. And of course we (my family) didn't miss the chance to explore the area touristically. And what was there nearby?...
