0231 Germany - Weimar

present

Weimar is a city in the federal state of Thuringia, Germany. 
The Park an der Ilm is a massive expanse of land following the river Ilm to the south and east of the city. The park itself is so big it is easy to escape from the city crowds and feel completely isolated from humanity, as if you were walking out into the countryside itself. The volume of trees, the weaving paths, and the overgrown ruins make it feel like you have left civilization for a brief moment. It's definitely a place worth wandering for an hour or two.

0203 Germany - Harz

The Harz is the highest mountain range in Northern Germany and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The name Harz derives from the Middle High German word Hardt or Hart (mountain forest), Latinized as Hercynia. The legendary Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with a height of 1,141.1 metres above sea level. The Wurmberg (971 metres) is the highest peak located entirely within Lower Saxony.
