Impressions Germany Summer '24

[glitch]

Using the dry days for more discoveries of the localities...

Early start for a visit of the famous " Bastei" Rocks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastei
trying to beat the usual year-round tourist-hordes.
Bullseye.




Eerie morning fog turning the place into a Hollywood-set.














Peeling out of the fog, the famous Bastei-Bridge

The small city of Pirna, southern banks of the Elbe River. Plaques next to the front door showing the previous high-water marks.
2002 was a killer for the town...







Cute

Compared to 2002 and 2013 the ongoing flood is not worth talking of - at least in Pirna.

Thanks. I am enjoying seeing these places.

Pirna
They have a very good destillery!
I recommend the Spanish Orange! Very tasty. The photo shows the smallest quantity, be sure they have bigger bottles.

Man, it must be good if you kept the empty bottle

Ratz, too late.

Back at the Baltic Shores again after a good run incl. an hour of a leisurely breakfast feast at the Ottendorfer Bakery Cafe https://tinyurl.com/yeyvyzpk
before hitting "the bahn".
558k's incl. a tankstop and 85km country roads at the start in 5hrs, that Hyundai I30 is still glowing.
6speed manual, cruise control on a modest and relaxing 140kmh in the slow lane, still under 6l/100k's in ECO mode.
No idea what engine this thing has
