 Juni gleder - June joys



 Strawberries enjoy in the garden


Terrassenufer Dresden

a stroll take through town



a boat trip on the river is on my wish list


Rakotz Bridge - Kromlau/Germany

Yesterday we took a tour to this beautiful place - the Rakotz Bridge in the Azalea and Rhododendron Park in Kromlau. This place is in Lusatia, where a large part of the population are Sorbs... with its own language - Sorbian.



for Easter they make the most wonderful Easter eggs using different techniques... I've tried it too, it's a lot of fun but takes a lot of time... 




We visited the Sorbian Center, where I found this picture, among other things, and where the various costumes - Trachten - are on display.




Each region has its own costume


If you pay attention you can find old three-sided courtyards

Due to the opencast coal mining, there is a large lake landscape

...Back to the park... we haven't admired the flowers yet...






It's a beautiful walk, with everything your heart desires...



....but the bridge is quite unbelievable - it was built in the romantic period 

from 1866 to 1875.

  9. Das ist eine wunderbare Brücke! AMAZING! Sie malt einen Kreis auf das Wasser, wenn sie sich mit der Spiegelung verbindet .. Du siehst glücklich aus und hast einen wunderschönen Zopf - bist du es wirklich? Serbien ist voller Folklore und hat viele kulturelle Schätze. Ich denke, es war/ist eine schöne und beeindruckende Reise. Juni ist ein herrlicher Monat! Leckere reife Sonnen-Erdbeeren!

  22. Så spennende innlegg, Viola! Vakre drakter og flott park med mye blomster! Der skulle jeg likt å gå tur, men jeg lurer på om jeg kunne klare å passere den brua?

    Klem til deg, Viola, fra Ingunn

  23. Ja Erdbeerzeit - hier jetzt auch. Dank unseres milden Klimas können wir zwar Erdbeeren das ganze Jahr über bekommen, aber am besten schmecken sie jetzt im Sommer. Das ist die Zeit für Erdbeerbowle, die wir jedes Jahr mindestens einmal machen, wenn ich meine Deutschklasse zu meinem Gartenfest einlade. Die Rakotzbrücke kenne ich leider nur von Bildern, ich war bisher noch nie in der Lausitz. Das wäre ein schönes Ziel, wenn wir mal wieder in Deutschland sind.

  36. You so kindly came to visit me a couple of weeks ago and I've been snowed under and slow to return the call. Boy, this post was worth waiting for. That tour looks just fascinating and your photos are fantastic. It's a spot I'll probably never see in person, so thanks for taking me there!

  37. Så mye vakkert! Den broen var fantastisk, men også mye av det andre. Dere besøker veldig vakre steder! Tenker jordbærene smakte! Jeg har ikke vært mye på bloggene i det siste, ødela benet på skogstur, og har ikke hatt overskuddet.
