I really like the variety of images from this wonderful small town! That brauhaus is especially inviting at the end!

It definitely was a delightful little town - and I am glad you mentioned the Brauhaus - I was wondering whether someone would - besides shot #6 with the church interior lit by sunrays, this is actually one of my favorite pictures in this set.

I wonder if you noticed where the old border of East and West Germany was, my wife was from Weferling (former East ) right on the border on the way to Magderburg in the east.

Thank you Bud for looking in on my new series on Northern Europe. I just looked up where Weferling is, found a place called Weferlingen right at the former border, so that is probably it. As you might have seen from the map that I attach to each post, we passed the former East/West border a bit further south, on our way from Goslar (still in the West) to Quedlinburg (in the East). You will see the pictures of these places in a couple of weeks. Quedlinburg is due south of Weferlingen, at a distance of about 70 km / 45 miles. From Quedlinburg we moved via a lunch stop in Magdeburg to Berlin.

We would have crossed the former east/west border soon after Goslar, this is now the border of the German states Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) to Saxony-Anhalt (Sachsen-Anhalt). I honestly cannot remember whether we particularly noticed the border, but I would assume that the border would have been marked as moving from Lower Saxony to Saxony-Anhalt. Obviously, some 25 years after the German reunification, the differences between east and west are no longer that blatantly visible. It is a beautiful area that your wife comes from, and the towns that we visited are very charming, first Celle coming up soon and then particularly Quedlinburg. If you have the interest, I would suggest that you keep looking into my coming posts as we are getting closer and closer to your wife's former home patch. Thanks for looking and enjoy! Joe

Thank you John, I am happy to have woken your stirrings - probably better to do the beer first and wait for a better opportunity to hit the road!

These pictures are wonderful and depict the history and charm of the area. I don't travel as much as I would like, but these are the things I really enjoy. Thanks for the tour.
