Photo Essay: Summer In Germany

Matthew Klint Posted onSeptember 12, 2023September 12, 2023 11 Comments

To conclude the German portion of my 2023 summer holiday trip report, I am including a number of photos that seek to capture our daily life in Germany.

2023 Summer In Germany, A Photo Essay

Far from touring castles and museums, we spent most of our time just chilling out in Lörrach, a border city with Switzerland and France in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. There were many great meals. Superb coffee. Exquisite Spaghettieis. But it was not just gluttony. We enjoyed many long walks, some moderate hikes, and my favorite part of my day, a nightly walk up Tüllinger Hill each night with my wife after our kids fell asleep.

It was not all fun and games – I still blogged a bit and kept in contact with my other endeavors. Perhaps these pictures will help demonstrate why I wistfully wonder whether I should be in Germany more often. And while this summer was far more pleasant than last (where we ran into warmer temperatures and more humidity), you can always count on running into at least a day of jacket weather when here. I love that.

    Germany’s hiking trails are always so well maintained.

    Some of our most difficult hikes have been in Berchtesgaden and the Königssee, but the condition of the trails always makes it easier.

    Made me a bit sad to see chicken nuggets and fries under the kids menu.

    Your pictures take me back to when we would visit family in Germany. Happy memories.

    The photos capture this idyllic setting so well. I applaud Augustine’s colorful choices in ice cream.

    Nice place to summer. Your kids will thank you for it later. The name sounds a bit like something out of a Dr. Seuss book though.

    I know, I am the Debbie Downer on your comment page, but those pictures from Lörrach, Germany just look depressing.

    Great pics. To be fair, that’s an area of Germany I find much more … bucolic than our ‘little village’ in Bavaria. It’s also so close to Switzerland and France. And Europa Park is a truly great place to take your kids, if you haven’t already. Family owned and open since 1975. Top theme park in Germany and since 2019 (right before pandemic) a great mostly indoor water park. As to the dead cow place, be happy you have found a place that knows how to cook an animal that isn’t a pig. Finding a great steak, or just a very good one, has been a decade plus long search for me. Most of the time, I wind up at the Blockhouse, a fairly large chain that has fairly decent dead cow.

    Again, looks like a great trip!

    What would you do if you had 8 hours in Frankfurt, Matthew? My brother has a layover and unfortunately has no access to the LH F terminal.

      I would go into the city and walk around – there’s some great coffee and food and it’s just a fun place to walk around. There are museums too, if that is his thing.

      Alternatively, Mainz is a fun and also an easy train ride away.
