W is for Wildpark Schwarze Berge

Image
Hi! so todaz I have a guest post brought to you by Sasha. I met her during my first month living in Germany and today she accepted to give this blogging thing a try and will be talking about one of the activities you could do in Hamburg. One of the places we love to visit as a family is Wildpark Schwarze Berge, located in the town of Rosengarten. It is about 15 min by car or 30 min by bus from where we live .  The park was founded in 1969 and is open all year round.  Unlike the Hagenbecks Tierpark, the Wildpark Schwarze Berge is located in a low mountain, forested area and covers around 50 hectares of land. The animals are kept in large natural enclosures and there are about a hundred species of animals at the Wildpark including bisons, European wolves, lynxes and mooses. The Wildpark added the European brown bears in 2009. There are also petting areas with free-ranging goats, potbellied pigs and deers. In these petting areas, you can buy animal food at 1 euro a box ...

Hey ya'll I'm Dorrie and I blog over at Rt 1 US 1 !  I recently moved to South Florida, and I blog about whatever happens to be going on in my life.  This includes books I read, places I visit, and things I attempt to do to my home!  Today I thought I would share some tips for visiting Disney as an adult without children! My husband finally broke down the other day, we had been debating for months if we should get annual passes to Disney. We finally sucked it up and made the purchase. This would be literally the first time that I have ever been to Disney, and my husband, Scott, hasn’t been since he was very small- a lot had changed. We bought annual passes on Friday and went to the park Saturday. 1.   Wear lightweight/sport clothes.   My husband pretty much lives in Under Armour anyway, so this wasn’t a problem for him. I layered a couple dark, lightweight tank tops and a pair of cutoffs for the day. We were both comfortable and you couldn’t rea...

Weekend Summary

To my American readers, I hope you had a great fourth of July, we actually hosted our independence/ housewarming party yesterday. Then this morning we went to church and witnessed our first German baptism. Afterwards we went to the Alster with fellow Mexicans for a reunion and some BBQ fun, followed by some free Ben & Jerry's ice cream (which is really hard to eat while holding an umbrella, without it spilling all over you), as you can tell in this picture, woops: but, not even rain could stop us. ;) I'm here today to let you know you can find my post about " What to do in Monterrey, Mexico " over at Amy's blog. Go check it out and I hope you have a blessed weekend! Tweet
