Speis und Trank. Im Gasthaus mit dem Haubentaucher.
had pig: Episode third
The two young gentlemen in the photo both hot smoke, he called Richard, she Sonja. They are brother and sister and even fairy-tale run guest house in Trautmannsdorf. Unfortunately, this is not near the same palace in the city of Graz, but just behind or in front of the same mountain, depending on which direction you come from. This means for us Graz: go for a good hour and about 5 kilometers from the finish: pig had that we were slow on the road, otherwise we would have the same chef can bring a freshly killed deer. Just so we understand: Tip is the inn no longer have to defend the smoke in their "host Steira" two hoods and on the evening when we really wanted to come was a huge wine event with 80 guests. But the next day was the place.
The best of the parsley.
are among smokers, especially Steirisches it, all of them exciting, high class. Even any details such as celery or parsley to be lifted into a new culinary context, that the palate is surprised. Brook trout tartare, use more of it, a lamb sweetbread, the confidence one has to shop elsewhere first, Jerusalem artichoke soup with crayfish, salmon trout with fennel and as if that was not really anything refined enough for a whole month, is available as a finale a chocolate mousse Zotter from which even the Rieger Burger King chocolate sincere enthusiasm as he assured me a few days later. This means for us Graz: looking for someone who does not drink during Lent (as is the wine selection but not without), and call in to the smoke and go. Please take care of the deer that are on the road and not on the map.

love ...: just before the end of even a few pictures
on Sunday was ready to take the very best weather and I never imagined my friend and grabbed my cam and they both pulled out. The first real spring walk this year. :) A little trip into the past, we have almost done too, because we have the remains of the castle visited bars, which was destroyed in 1348. Only a few Steien remember that this was once a castle stood, which was inhabited by the robber baron John of lobster constable. are marked on the plate a bit of information to the castle lands. There is not much to know what you can and the exhaustive search on the internet has, unfortunately, not much result. These stones are the last witnesses of a nearly forgotten past. Nature has long since taken back what belongs to her and so are the last remnants Castle moss and barely recognizable. With the passage of this bridge is immersed in a piece of history, because on the other side are the stones that once belonged to the castle. There was about 1302 to 1348, the castle stays. Whether it was earlier this castle, is unfortunately not recorded, it was mentioned in 1302, first documented. All geschlichtlich interested among you a brief overview of the history of the castle:
castle consisting of a main castle, bailey and an increase in the Northeast (as the "Garden" known) wowie walls and ditches.
were due to their strategic location in the Alster valley from the Castle lands from the Hamburg trade routes - check Segeberg - Lübeck and Hamburg.
The castle is first mentioned in writing in 1302: to increase its defense value, was lord of the castle constable John Hummer of the water accumulate in the Alster valley. The downstream water removed and raids led to passing merchant 1347 to the siege of the castle. Despite the attack with heavy military equipment (including slingshots) but could not be taken. On 22 July 1348, however, succeeded King Waldemar IV to achieve the object of the castle and the departure of the lords contract. Thereafter it was destroyed bridges, a reconstruction could not be made.
During excavations in the hill of the main castle, they came across strong rock stone foundations and individual bricks and wooden posts on the previous building. Remains of the stone tower in the 19th Century removed. The roof should have been covered with so-called monks and nuns pans. source
course, we have seen on our walk even more. ^ ^ We are walking along the Alster, the even here most of the year (unless it occurs again on their banks, perhaps you remember still the Alster flooding in February?) is a small peaceful brook. The sun was so beautiful, it was just nice to walk along the waterfront to enjoy the silence and just unwind. Finally I could show my treasure my little paradise, which he did not even know, yes. There we enjoyed a while, the sun. A bit further are two totally love her ass home. At first they were hesitant, but then let the two stroke. Sooo cute. :) I love animals anyway, but the two donkeys are really something special again. I had so also like a donkey. I think it's always great if animals look like this, it always looks as they would laugh. : D I have just the seemingly more daring of the two pats. Later I stroked both after they had overcome their shyness, they were very trusting. First, the cute little donkey sniffed my hand and then let him stroke it extensively. Total cute, I would indeed like to take the two to take home. When I was finally able to break away from the two donkeys, we have moved past the good bars in the direction of Castle webs. Near the ruins to get back very close to the lake, we were able to admire these beautiful reflections in the water. I find these images exude an amazing stillness, which I will always put a smile. I'm not particularly happy out here, but in such a moment but then it is sometimes nice because you can just forget everything and enjoy just the nature and the silence. We just stood at the water and have absorbed the moment in us.
cute, I would indeed like to take the two to take home.
