Dresden - the capital of the Free State of Saxony is located right next to the Ore Mountains. And while I'm there, I naturally have to visit this beloved city, which doesn't seem so huge. Pretty much reduced to rubble during the Second World War, it was slowly rebuilt after German reunification. Great importance was attached to the careful restoration of the old town centre. The Frauenkirche church ⛪️ is located in the centre. The epitome of a memorial for decades. Beautifully restored, it is definitely worth a visit. But you can also si...

I was a guest at the German Bobsleigh Championships 🥇 in the Erzgebirge ❄️ over the weekend. What a weekend.

Bobsleigh is a winter ❄️ sport that was developed by the English in Switzerland at the end of the 19th century and is now part of the Olympic programme at the Winter ❄️ Olympics. Etymologically, the word "bob" comes from "to bob". And indeed, the very first bobsleigh riders tried to give the bobsleigh more speed by rhythmically moving back and forth. It was not until the 1970s that the sports bobsleds used had aer...

"Step into a world full of romance and sin. A world in which boundaries are blurred, bohemians and royals lie in each other's arms and party to excess. Pop the champagne 🍾 corks and get ready for the most intoxicating night of your life 😈!"

This is how the musical "Moulin Rouge" is advertised. And it definitely lives up to its promise! 🩷

As it was the 800th show in Cologne, there was a party 🥳 afterwards to celebrate this anniversary in style. What an evening! Thank you! 🩷

I was at the musical 💃 ! I wore a customised corset 😈 by TomTo from Berlin to match the performance of "Moulin Rouge". And I could easily pass for a member of the ensemble. 😂

"Moulin Rouge!" is a jukebox musical based on a book by John Logan, which is based on the 2001 feature film of the same name by Baz Luhrmann. The musical premiered in Boston in July 2018. It has been performed on Broadway since July 2019. The German-language production has been on show at the Musical Dome Cologne since November 2022.

Sometimes you need to take a few days off and switch off. I was a guest at Dunkeld House Hotel 🏨 . The country house hotel is set in 113 hectares of unspoilt Perthshire countryside. It is a very well-kept, modern and well-equipped hotel with great parkland right on the River Tay, which is famous for its salmon fishing 🐟 (which I of course enjoyed in every variation). There is an extensive breakfast with a great view of the countryside.

Exceptional service and first-class amenities make for an unforgettable experience.

St Giles' Cathedral, also known as the High Kirk of Edinburgh, is the 900-year-old main church of the Church of Scotland and one of the most important sights in the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. It is located not far from Edinburgh Castle. Approaching from the front, the first thing you notice is the church tower in the shape of a crown. Today, this is a landmark on Edinburgh's skyline.

Fascinating stained glass windows conjure up a play of light when the sun shines. I was impressed by the blue of the ceiling. Madness.

On my 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 tour, I naturally also visited the beautiful city of Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. The compact, hilly capital of Scotland with a medieval old town and the famous, cobbled and historic "Royal Mile" - certainly one of the most famous streets in the UK, attracts visitors from all over the world. Follow the mile from the historic Edinburgh Castle 🏰 , where the annual Military Tattoo takes place (definitely on my bucket list), to the modern Scottish Parliament. The various sights along the way show ...

Last but not least, the Salwey winery. Always Burgundy. Always dry. Always perfect. I picked up an extremely expressive Oberrotweil Pinot Gris with a fine flavour typical of the variety. You can feel the sun on your palate as you savour the flavours of the hand-picked grapes. And what's the best way to get to know a winery? About his estate wines. They form the first quality level of the VDP (Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates). They are what represent the winery and its style. At Salwey, these wines are also single-varietal from t...

One of the next stops among the top wineries in the Kaiserstuhl region of Baden was the Bernhard Huber winery. Completely inconspicuous from the outside. Inside: Wow! Stylish tasting room! Small but fine tasting edition. The sparkling wine comes extremely close to the flavour of a very good champagne - at a lower price. As a sparkling wine lover, of course I had to have it. This was then joined by a cuvée of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, aged in barriques with 1/3 new wood. Even the "nose test" is a journey into other galaxies. Wonderfully fi...

Autumn time 🍂 is grape harvest time🍇. And a wonderful time to head to the vineyards! What fantastic colours of nature. All the more beautiful in top weather ☀️ ! I travelled to the Kaiserstuhl - it's near Freiburg in southern Germany and is actually a small low mountain range. Here you are on the sun terrace between the Black Forest and the Rhine. It's not for nothing that the Kaiserstuhl is the warmest wine region in Germany. There were some very good winegrowers on my list. My first port of call was Franz Keller's winery. It is o...

The 🥃 Royal Lochnagar distillery is located right next to Balmoral Castle in the Highlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Here I finally took part in a guided tour and learned a lot about 🥃 production! Don't worry: I'm not starting an in-house production 🤣. But it was pretty interesting 🤩! Kisses 😘

Whisky is made from grain (always barley, also wheat, corn, rye or oats). The production process for whisky is similar to other processes for the production and concentration of ethanol until it is stored. As grain is used as a...

I continue in Speyside to Glenfiddich and GlenFarclas. Glenfiddich is the most awarded single malt Scotch whisky in the world and one of Scotland's largest distilleries 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ! One of the last distilleries 🥃 in family hands. I love it when it is in family hand! You can see for yourself in the pictures - I enjoyed it! 🩷 Kisses 😘

Scotland without a whisky tour 🥃 is like Bordeaux without a red wine tasting 🍷 - at least for me. I'm on the whisky trail 🥃 in Speyside. First stops: Royal Brackla and Glen Morgan. 🥃

Whisky (mostly spelled whiskey in the USA 🇺🇸 ) is a spirit obtained by distilling fermented grain mash and matured in wooden barrels.

Within the European Union, whisky must meet the following specified criteria:

* It must be obtained by distilling cereal malt mash.

* It must be distilled to an alcohol content of less tha...

Help with the barn work - up close and personal with the cows 🐮 . And in a typical German dirndl. It's in my genes 🧬 - my family come from a farm. But cows can also enjoy the view 😌 Kisses 😘

I prepare in detail for my trips 🧳. Routes are planned precisely. For Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I had bought a book 📖 about the various distilleries 🥃 among other things, worked through it and made a list of the ones I really wanted to visit. Then came Inverness, the Glen Mhor hotel and the hotel bar. And a top bartender who really knew his stuff. 🩷 "What would you like to drink?" "I'm on my way to Speyside and would like to visit 🥃 distilleries. What can you recommend?" The result was a tasting with 5 different wh...

I'm in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . I have to taste whisky 🥃 . It hasn't been my drink so far. I was surprised. 1. You don’t drink it in a tumbler. 2. You don’t drink it on ice. 3. much less is poured than I have always seen at home. 4. the drop of water actually changes the taste. 5. there are a lot of distilleries in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😮, some of which are large, but some of which are also quite small, intimate and charming. Come with me to enjoy the Scottish national drink 🥃. Kisses 😘

The white castle Dunrobin Castle with its many small turrets, oriels and windows sits enthroned above a large garden. Behind it: Nothing but the vast sea. 🩷 Around 1850, the palace was remodelled and the lush garden was laid out - inspired by those at Versailles in France. Although some new plants have been introduced since then, the basic shape has remained the same: Everything is grouped around two circular areas, each with a bubbling fountain. The garden ends at a wall with an iron gate. If you go through it, you get directly to the se...

Dunrobin Castle is a castle 🏰 on the east coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , the most northerly and the longest inhabited! It's a castle reminiscent of Disney, Neuschwanstein and French chateaux - in the middle of the Highlands. Dunrobin Castle offers a dream setting directly on the North Sea and has been the ancestral seat of the Clan Sutherland and thus also of the Earl of Sutherland for around 700 years, with an impressive 189 rooms. Kisses 😘

I continued my Scotland tour to the capital of the Highlands - Inverness. It is located at the north-east end of the Great Glen. It is the largest city in northern Scotland. Around a third of all Highland residents live in Inverness. Inverness is also famous for being the site of the murder of Duncan I by Shakesspeare's Macbeth. The name comes from the Gaelic and means: the city on the River Ness. The riverside is perfect for a stroll. I did just that extensively. My hotel had a wonderful beer garden right on the River Ness - at 12 kilometre...

The legendary Loch Ness. Where Nessie 🐍 lives. First of all, it's a lake. It is the easternmost and largest freshwater loch in the Great Glenn and the second largest in Scotland with an impressive size of 56 square kilometres. At its deepest point it is 230 metres deep! So when you consider its expansive surface area and depth combined, Nessie's home could be described as the most voluminous/largest lake in the UK. It is said to contain more water than all the lakes in England and Wales put together!

I am in love! With Galloway cattle! I've had budgies 🐦 , rabbits 🐰 , hamsters 🐹 , turtle 🐢 . I have lots of fish 🐠 in the pond and in 2 large aquariums, I have a dog 🐕 , my beloved Aziza (Rhodesian Ridgeback lady). I think I could develop further. It's about time! A Galloway 😉🤣 Galloways are a dominant hornless beef cattle breed. They originally come from the south-west of Scotland and are now found all over the world.
