And if they've been to Germany I lived near Heidelberg for years and the old town is quite nice One of the most beautiful and relaxing spots in the Heidelberg area can be found in the town of Schwetzingen Schwetzingen Palace and Garden was built as a summer home by the then ruler of Heidelberg/Mannheim The town grew around the castle and its garden In the spring you get a garden full of cherry blossoms in the fall and winter a quiet space for reflection you can always find a lone bench to sit and relax and get away from the crowds There is also a lovely restaurant/café with outdoor seating I love going there with a book and whiling away the hours You can take a tour of the palace or just explore the extensive gardens The Rococo theatre on the castle grounds offers concerts One of my favorite places in Germany is Rügen Island It was named a world natural heritage site in 2011 due to its chalk cliffs and a large number of beech trees with a bridge connecting it to the mainland at Stralsund in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern This state is well known for its beautiful nature so you can combine a visit to the island and the mainland The busiest times tend to be in the summer and at New Year’s There are several towns on the island of varying sizes and vacation apartments to be rented (usually for at least a week) It's so relaxing to just stroll through one of the towns on the sea and feel refreshed and rejuvenated The island is also a perfect place to hike There are trails everywhere and you can rent a bike in many places The views of the hills and the Baltic Sea are just breathtaking And almost every town on the water offers a beach There is a large national park Jasmund in the northeastern part of the island featuring white chalk cliffs and many nature trails I live in Lindau on Lake Constance in the farthest southern reaches of Germany It is an amazing area with so many hiking trails It is also highly fertile with all kinds of apples you will probably pass at least three or four small The coolest thing about the lake is that you can be in four different countries as you drive around or near it: Germany a beautiful medieval town right on the lake known for its wine and history There is a long promenade with plenty of cafés to sit visit Feldkirch about 30 minutes south of the lake Another medieval town with an interesting connection to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle head to a world heritage site in the city of St explore the tiny capital of Vaduz with a breathtaking view of the castle overlooking the town Much of Dresden was destroyed during World War II but has been lovingly restored over the past two decades or so There are beautiful castles and churches and buildings to explore in the old town which you can spend a few hours or a whole day exploring One of the highlights, and one of my favorites, is the Grünes Gewölbe Treasury & Rooms These restored rooms and riches from the royal treasury are well worth a visit Everything you will view is just stunning as you move from room to room One floor is dedicated to the (literally) brilliant rooms the other floor shows selected items from the collection I recommend booking a ticket online in advance This region in southwest Germany boasts one of the largest contiguous forests in Germany so you can explore the area over a day or two from your base in Heidelberg or stay in one of the lovely local hotels or inns One of my favorite hiking areas in the Palatinate is just outside the town of Bad Dürkheim around the large castle ruin of Hardenburg There are numerous hiking trails for all fitness levels you can even relax at an outdoor café on the castle grounds and enjoy a beer or coffee after a hike One of the best things about the Palatinate region is that it is also known for its outstanding wines and cuisine One of the most famous wine towns is Deidesheim which also boasts a number of excellent restaurants and hotels You can hike among the valleys and fields and hills then check out one or more of the local wineries Best Places to Live in Germany 5 Reasons to Move to Germany Cost of Living in Germany Correction: This story has been updated to say that the 2019 Spargel Festival event is May 4 and activities start April 27 Germany — Nearly 50 years after moving to Michigan from Germany Marianne May still can’t quite fathom Americans’ fondness for green asparagus. “When I saw green asparagus I said ‘You people in America are crazy,’” recalls the Clarkston resident “Green is what we feed to the cows and pigs is the fresh white asparagus that’s considered a delicacy – and enjoys almost cult status --- in Germany Though the stalks typically are bigger than green asparagus they’re milder and sweeter than what we’re accustomed to eating in the United States “You peel them so they’re tender and very delicate -- they just melt in your mouth,” May says of the thick white stalks she helped clean and deliver to the local co-op from her family’s plot in Philippsburg inside mounds of sandy soil that shield it from sunlight and chlorophyll production That growing method has prompted wags to dub it “the vampire of the vegetable world.” white asparagus was cultivated and laboriously hand-harvested on some 1,800 German farms last year mostly by temporary workers from Eastern Europe It’s available throughout Germany at farm stands Price for the top grade this season is about $5 per pound white asparagus can be found seasonally at gourmet groceries including Whole Foods according to the stores’ produce clerks spring’s eagerly anticipated Spargelzeit – literally “Asparagus time” --- is celebrated with festivals galas and dinner parties starring the prized white spears sometimes called “edible ivory,” “white gold” or the “king of vegetables.” From ice cream to schnapps Faux asparagus tips made from white chocolate are popular souvenirs meals don’t get much better than her late mother’s traditional German pancakes served with fresh steamed white asparagus in a nutmeg-dusted cream sauce topped with thin Black Forest ham “It’s the best!” she declares and adds: “It’s just a whole different taste than green asparagus.” Other typical white asparagus accompaniments include Hollandaise sauce May shares her late father’s fondness for another simple dish: a salad of fresh white asparagus and hard-boiled eggs seasoned with salt She savors her culinary favorites whenever she returns to her hometown near Schwetzingen southwest Germany’s sandy-soiled “asparagus capital” that’s celebrating the 350th anniversary of white asparagus this year Cultivated in the famous royal gardens of Schwetzingen Palace as far back as 1668 the delicate white spears were served exclusively at court banquets prompting spargel’s reputation as the “royal vegetable.” harvest workers must “bow down” before each shoot in order to cut it out of the ground her family’s fifth-generation backyard produce stand in Schwetzingen It’s one of a designated handful in the region that cultivates white asparagus from the castle’s venerable “royal roots.” I met the 86-year-old asparagus matriarch and observed the back-breaking effort required to grow I also saw the joy it brings to its legion of fans – practically every German I met Fackel-Kretz still goes to the family field twice each day to dig into the dirt mounds and hand-cut the white asparagus stalks other family members and three Polish workers who have worked the harvest for 20 years And she notes with pride that her granddaughter was Schwetzingen’s Asparagus Queen for eight years White asparagus grows fast – nearly 4 inches on some days who exclaims: “You can watch it grow!” On one especially productive day her crew harvested 300 kilograms – 660 pounds – of white asparagus and hand-peeled about 6,000 stalks You can tell it’s fresh when you rub two stalks together and hear them squeak who notes that wrapping white asparagus in a wet towel will maintain freshness for up to three days “When the end is dry it’s very old,” she says And that’s the perfect time to enjoy a special delicacy that has excited German tastebuds for centuries Susan Pollack is a Metro Detroit freelance writer Schwetzingen is a key stop on the Baden Asparagus Route an 85-mile journey by car or bicycle through the southwest Germany countryside The town boasts a 124-year-old

This does not hold true for Erin Malapit, who graduates from the University of Virginia's College of Arts & Sciences May 20 after having been both a cheerleading captain and an U.S Malapit, a biology major from Springfield always knew she wanted to join the military It's a family tradition – both of her grandfathers served in the Navy after they emigrated from the Philippines After graduation and 20 weeks of training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri Malapit will join the 18th Engineer Brigade in Schwetzingen Malapit was born just an hour away from Schwetzingen professor of military science in U.Va.'s ROTC program classified Malapit as one of the top cadets in the country saying that he has no doubt she will become an effective and important leader in her brigade Malapit has met every challenge and exceeded every standard during her time in ROTC," he said "She excels in the three areas we focus on – scholar leader – and is a true role model and mentor for the underclass cadets in the battalion." Malapit said the Army has helped her develop into a better leader and a better person "The most important thing the Army has taught me is how to be a good person," she said "The military brings selflessness out of people It's truly a privilege to be part of a community so grounded in service where I am constantly inspired by my peers' devotion to each other and the greater good." Malapit said that the Army allowed her to see and evaluate her abilities She explained that ROTC cadets are constantly rotated in leadership positions and their leaders and peers have to give them feedback on their performance she served as the cadet Command Sergeant Major for the Army ROTC program a role she described as a type of "battalion mom," who acts as both a standards enforcer and mentor She is responsible for keeping more than 80 other cadets in line and safe Malapit said she works to foster a sense of community among the battalion Malapit's cheerleading was prompted by a random occurrence her mother was handed a cheerleading recruitment flyer at Kinko's one day Since Malapit had recently quit playing soccer her mother wanted her to still have some sort of physical activity in her life cheerleading gives Malapit a chance to let loose especially when she's tossed in the air during stunts Malapit is also on the council of Student-Athlete Mentors a group that works to make student-athletes role models and mentors in the U.Va She and other mentors serve as peer educators Children's Hospital and tutor at local elementary schools the Life Skills Director in the Department of Athletics and an adviser to the Student-Athlete Mentor program said he considers Malapit a "genuine promise of hope for the future," citing her ability to understand and lead others and her unbeatable work ethic as her outstanding attributes I have an even stronger confidence in the future of our country's military being managed with wisdom Malapit said she wants to squeeze out every experience she can from life This is why she pursued involvements at U.Va "I don't think I would have been satisfied unless I had left the University absolutely exhausted," she said so special is that it challenges its students to take responsibility for their actions to turn passion into agency and to take that sense of agency and make a positive impact." Malapit said only having four short years at U.Va gives meaning to students' time on Grounds "Whether it was by cheering our team to victory on the sidelines visiting a recovering child in the hospital or ensuring that our cadets are worthy to lead our country's sons and daughters in the defense of our great nation I can only hope that my passing through has left the University community a little better off," she said /content/class-2012-pre-med-grad-malapit-leader-cheers-peers-and-soldiers UVA Breaks Ground on Paul and Diane Manning Institute of Biotechnology in addition to the Admiral V8 and the Diplomat V8 Coupé “The charming setting and the beautiful cars make the Classic Gala Schwetzingen a unique experience for exhibitors and visitors” “There could hardly be a better occasion to admire Opel’s luxury line-up from the 1960s cars that stood out with their straightforward design and offered the highest comfort for their time.” “KAD”: The “Big Three” from Rüsselsheim Admiral and Diplomat – aka “KAD” or “Big Three” – represented the Opel luxury class in the 1960s and ‘70s extremely roomy and influenced by the contemporary American styling With a length of 4.95 metres and a width of 1.90 m the Opel luxury class also reached new dimensions While the Kapitän became the best-selling German six-cylinder passenger car and the Admiral built on the success of the pre-war model with the same name the Diplomat represented the top of the line Opel – which has always stood for the democratisation of innovation – was the only German manufacturer to offer a complete product range at the time; from Kadett and Rekord At this year's Classic Gala Schwetzingen Opel will be showing the 1966 Diplomat V8 Coupé as well as the Admiral V8 from 1965 The Diplomat's 169 kW/230 hp 5.4-litre V8 powered the four-seater from zero to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds while the top speed exceeded 200 km/h Hardly any other German-made car was faster The Admiral with its range-topping 140 kW/190 hp engine was also notable for its two-speed “Powerglide” automatic transmission a total of 55,876 Admiral A left the factory of which only 623 featured eight-cylinder engines This makes the Admiral V8 a rare collector's item today The KAD trio in Schwetzingen is completed by a Kapitän from a private collector 4/8 PS “Doktorwagen”: Opel made early automobility affordable Visitors to the Classic Gala can also admire an early automobile that made motorised mobility possible for all: the Opel 4/8 PS Opel proclaimed the car as ideal for “Doctors which earned it the nickname “Doktorwagen” (doctor’s car) The pioneering vehicle was available for a low price of only 3,950 marks paving the way for a broader section of the population to own their own car for the first time The technical highlight was the four-cylinder “mono-block” engine cast in one piece The Schwetzingen Palace park will open its gates to Classic Gala visitors from Friday, September 2 to Sunday, September 4, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

dedicated to the humble but irresistible pretzel the Speyerer Brezelfest is held during the second week of July and there’s also a colorful parade during which delectable pretzels are tossed into the crowds and a running race (Brezelfestlauf) round out the event Though the festival’s origins only date back to 1910 the town of Speyer has even older attractions: a famous Romanesque cathedral (Kaiserdom) and synagogue ruins that are among Europe’s oldest the pretty southwestern spa town of Bad Dürkheim hosts the world’s largest wine festival The fest has been a tradition in Bad Dürkheim for more than 600 years when local residents marketed food to pilgrims who annually made a spiritual journey to a nearby hilltop chapel the event morphed into a larger—and more hedonistic—affair More than 300 types of wine flow during the nine-day event as well as flavorful white varietals like Riesling It’s not just wonderful wine that’s on order here As the festival’s German name implies (the word Würste translates to “sausages”) many hearty dishes make appearances on the menu Be on the lookout for Bratwurst that are one-and-a-half-feet long as well as steamed dumplings called Dampfnudeln These popular dumplings can be sweet or savory Sometimes they’re even served with a wine sauce—quite appropriate since you’re in wine country Bad Dürkheim also dishes out old-fashioned fun in the form of live-music performances you can explore the nearby German Wine Route (Deutsche Weinstrasse) The area enjoys a moderate climate that nurtures not only grapes Marry hundreds of thousands of pumpkins
