Autumn air and atmosphere

Would you like to have breakfast with me???

And afterwards take some photos together???

;-)

"Unter den Linden", the "inn in the meadows" at Rothenburg, Germany,
is our favourite place on a Sunday morning for this plan.

The breakfast buffet is gorgeous, but - psst - don't tell it anybody else, otherwise it'll be too overcrowded the next time you and I go there.

And: it's a great place to contemplate and to take some moody photographs, especially in autumn time.

The open-air pub of "Unter den Linden" is directly located at the bank of the river Tauber; which is quite a flat little creek 10 kilometers after it's origin. 

"Foliage boots" on the river...

Angelika, the tenant, and her team know how to decorate modestly but in a good style at once
and so you find seasonal bouquets everywhere in and outside the small inn.

So, when do we meet there in Rothenburg???

;-)

Café Wohlleben

You never heard about Café Wohlleben???

A marvellous small coffeehouse in the north of Nuremberg, Germany???

What a pity!!! ;-)

On Saturday my sweetheart and I spend a day at Nuremberg / German: Nürnberg,

a city in the state of Bavaria, in the region Middle Franconia.

Nuremberg is know for its famous castle, but also for its dark past during the Nazi era.

Between 1945 and 1946, German officials involved in the holocaust and other war crimes were brought before an international tribunal in the Nuremberg Trials.

Fortunately this is long time ago and nowadays Nuremberg is really a city worth visiting like many other places in Germany. 

A great breakfast would be a perfect start into a sightseeing and shopping tour through Nuremberg.

But Nuremberg is not really known for its coffeehouse culture.

But definitely we found the right (the one and only?) great place offering a breakfast we like:

at Café Wohlleben.

The coffeehouse team is young, extremly friendly and attentively, ambitiously and competently - and their products are just terrifically and of chosen quality!

What more could a heart desire?

Café Wohlleben started three years ago and nowadays they are famous for their great and tasty cakes over and above the whole city region.

The interior is a successful mixture out of modern and retro style...

...and we enjoyed every minute of our breakfast there.

This was definitely not the last time we visited coffeehouse Wohlleben. 

It's a, no, it's THE perfect starting point for a perfect day in Nuremberg!

So: Let's meet at Café Wohlleben the next time!

First onset of winter

What the hell was that this morning...???

;-)

When I raised the shutter of our bedroom window and looked outside this morning, I thought I still dream.

It was sleeting and on the hills on the other side of the valley the roofs and the more highly situated terrain was covered with a thin layer of wet snow.

Summertime - where have you gone???

Blue sky all Saturday long? --> No chance!

Even our last balcony tomatoes looked sad this morning... ;-)

But our Saturday morning breakfast made our day!

Toasty weekend for all of you!

"Maikäfer flieg... ???"

1. Mai / May 1:

Opening ("inauguration" :-) of the breakfast season 2009 at the world's greatest
"inn in the meadows": UNTER DEN LINDEN
at the bottom of the mediaeval town of Rothenburg.

****************
"Feierliche" Eröffnung der Frühstückssaison 2009 in der weltbesten
Wiesenwirtschaft UNTER DEN LINDEN
im (besser: zu Fuße) des mittelalterlichen Rothenburgs.

The breakfast buffet at "UNTER DEN LINDEN" left nothing to be desired.

When did you see/find your last "Maikäfer" (cockchafer / maybug)???

Several of them we found during a postprandial stroll through the forest. Although it's just beginning of May, the maybugs seemed to be very flabby / feeble - why ever?!

Contrary to the bugs the butterflies appealed to be much more active...

...especially this peacock butterfly on the dandelion blossom was a real frantic pollen gatherer and difficult to capture.

Have a break(fast)...
