On a recent Monday evening in the German town of Parsberg a famished companion and I were searching without success for an open restaurant Our predicament prompted us to decide that the ever-reliable traditional German hotel restaurants were our best option This resolve brought us to Hirschens Restaurant Wirtsstuben The entrance was adorned with chairs and desks displaying books delicate deer figurines and bottles of wine coupled with the soft glow of cozy lamplight That was the moment I realized this meal might be a tad more upscale than I had anticipated Having arrived close to the beginning of dinner hours we sat in the nearly empty restaurant at a table right near the bar The outdoorsy charm of the entrance seamlessly carried into the restaurant where the decor featured an abundance of deer motifs and historical imagery while my friend was instantly drawn to the pretzel cordon bleu Our rumbling stomachs were appeased by a plate of fresh bread paired with a fragrant herbal house butter The bread had an interesting flavor I couldn’t quite place The main dishes were served soon afterward My pork schnitzel was served as two generously sized golden-brown fillets accompanied by cranberry sauce The cranberry sauce added a nice sweetness that complemented the savory pork proved a magnificent companion to the main dish melted cheese encasing the veal were a splendid ingredient combination When I found myself back in Parsberg for the second time in a week I decided another visit to Hirschens was in order Initially tempted to split a tomahawk steak a shareable-size cut from the rib that can range up to 45 ounces we learned that it must be ordered a day in advance So something to keep in mind for future visits Both of our steaks were cooked medium-rare as requested and paired with a fruity sauce that offered a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors I followed the European tradition of enjoying a post-meal cappuccino The coffee was the perfect conclusion to yet another satisfying dinner I couldn’t resist making a quick stop at the bar — not for a drink but to grab a small packet of gummy worms from a vase of complimentary candies It was a charming final treat to enjoy as I made my way across the street to my car 7-10:30 a.m.; 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.; 5:30-9 p.m Prices: Breakfast buffet is 27 euros per person; evening appetizers range from 8 to 14 euros The pretzel cordon bleu costs 25 euros; schnitzel is 29 euros; and the steaks ranged around 35 euros You are using an outdated browser.

In an opinion piece written by Drew Francisco post coronation night the exclusion of Miss Denmark Klaudia Parsberg was called as a “let down” and described Klaudia as “one of the most prepared and dedicated ladies in the competition” Time wasn’t on the side of Klaudia Parsberg She was thrusted into the limelight after the original titleholder relinquished her crown But in the short span between being crowned as Miss Earth Denmark 2016 and the time she flew to Manila for the competition She studied further and brushed herself with most pressing environmental problems that world is facing today we saw a confident Klaudia which completely masked the hectic schedule that she went through She rolled up her sleeves to pursue her environmental program In an exclusive interview with Missosology before she set afoot in Manila Klaudia revealed that she worked with the Technical University of Denmark (Danmarks Tekniske Universitet) to measure the health of lakes in Denmark She wasn’t involved in environmental projects just because she joined Miss Earth but because it is her passion Whatever are the reasons why Miss Earth decided to exclude Klaudia Parsberg from the semi finals it seems there was a near unanimous dismay among pageant observers Many fans and missosologists agree that Klaudia should have been one of the semifinalists she could have proven her worth not only as a beautiful and a shapely woman but as a woman whose passion towards the environment is unflinching
