My first morning here in Medard has just begun and that's what I see as soon as I open my eyes, in other words bedroom view:
The day is nice so after a quick breakfast I dress myself to see what is what around here. As soon as I step out of my door I get a feeling that this must be the least charming place I've been so far in Germany:
There's not sign about it neither anyone has bothered to share any info online. Next to it is the most charming thing I've seen around here so far:
Instinctively I start to look out for a passing train even though it's all too quiet but soon I realise there's no train passing here since who knows when:
The morning sun kills the pictures but that's the price to pay if you are like me and prefer to picture empty places. Not that there's that much of crowd around here anyway. The serene audio and visual of the water pays back though:
German speakers can help the rest of us with that sign on the rock reading something about this bridge:
Fun bits are not over yet so this path (which I guess turn to a canal when it rains) leads you to a dog house:
The least attractive village of Medard starts flirting with the title of the most weird as well.
I've already spend enough time at the bridge of Glan river here in Medard so I take a last shot of it with the happy wind generators going round in the background before I move on:
There's a canal that intrigues me to walk it that comes under the road and then goes down through the forest:
But I'd better see other things first and decide if I'll do it on my way back.
It takes only a couple of steps to find out that they are not for hikers but are somehow part of this venue:
The venue is a grill hut (!) or at least that's what I understand by Grillhütte. A weird thing especially in the total absence of human presence and these two cut trees at its entrance don't make it less weird:
I guess it refers to WWI judging by the years mentioned but I have no other clue - German speakers feel free to apply your input:
I told you it is supposed to be a grill hut right? Well, what else can it be with a thing like this?
So the village gathers around the fire in this grill pavilion watching the meat getting done? As it seems yes. I step out of this thing to have a look from the outside. Wind generators are still happy:
This way doesn't seem to lead to anything special so I walk to the opposite side. After a few minutes I see this construction made of stones:
As I get closer it becomes clear that this was a loading spot. No idea what those wagons were carrying back in the day though:
Not much to see behind that door:
I walk further and later I see a yard which I can't tell if it belongs to a camping that's closed or to a funny guy - all weird stuff happens in this village 🙂:
I step back in the village and this time that column I saw on my way out looks even more weird now with that junk in the background:
That look more like Morocco than Germany actually.
That look more like Morocco than Germany actually.
Plus this religious one:
It kept staring at me like this for like a minute and then decided that its lunch is more interesting. I also kept staring for a while at this funny sign at a local store later:
Bon Appetit!
You can watch a video from my walk here:
Hope you liked it, see you on the next one!
