Germany’s biggest Amusement Park

Image
The Europa Park Rust in the south-west of the country, is Germany’s biggest amusement park and after Disneyland Paris the second largest one in all of Europe. With a total of 103 rides it attracts over 5,5 million visitors yearly. What makes this park so unique is the deviation into several little areas, each area representing a different country. Attractions The attractions in each section and the places to eat will match with each country, so you can go on the Poseidon waterslide in Greece or on the Da Vinci ride in Italy, have fries in Holland or tea in England. In total there are 13 roller coaster, including a new wooden roller coaster and my personal favourites and one of the biggest roller coasters: the Silver Star and the Blue Fire. The park also offers a lot of shows and events depending on what season so make sure to check the calendar online to not miss any special occasions. A one day entry ticket to the park costs around 47 euros but is definitely worth the mone...

A Day in Münster

Image
I went with Calli and his mother to Münster, which was only a 20-30 minute car ride, and explored the city. I had never been to Münster before and it is an absolutely charming city. Münster claims to be the bike capital of Germany and there are supposedly more bikes than people in the city. Yes, I’m still trying to figure out how that fact makes sense as well (do people have a road bike and a mountain bike!?).

Off to Cologne!

This past weekend I spent with an old friend, Calli, in northern Germany and the Netherlands. Calli was a foreign exchange at my high school about 6 years ago and my family has stayed in touch with him throughout the years. A week before Halloween, after finding really cheap tickets, I decided to go visit him for the weekend!

Heiligenberg (Holy Mountain) // Heidelberg

Image
Last week, I decided to be adventurous and climb to the top of Heiligenberg in Heidelberg. Honestly, it is probably a large hill but because the Germans call it a mountain, I’m going to call it a mountain (berg = mountain in German).
