    Calwer Eck

    Posted by Steffi 23 May 2006

    This is a nice and lively brewery pub. The beer is served in tiny glasses, but not to worry: empty ones are contantly replaced, until you cover your glass with your beermat to signal you've had enough.

    They also serve nice local food.
    During daytime they do guided tours of the brewery itself, but you'd need to arrange that beforehand (and you need at least 15 people).

    Calwer Straße 31, just across from the shopping mall 'Calwer Passage,' in a pedestrian area in the city centre;
    tel: 0711-2224944-12;
    www.calwereck.de;
    S-Bahn: Stadtmitte, then take the Rotebühlplatz/Calwer Straße exit

    Whitepark Bay Youth Hostel

    Posted by Steffi 9 March 2006

    Stunning views over the north coast of Ireland and the sun setting on the nearby Scottish isles - and that's only what you see when you are sitting beside the open fire in the common room!
    Nearby attractions are the Giant's Causeway, an 8 mile walk along the coastal path that passes the hostel, and Carrick a rede rope bridge, four miles into the other direction. A five minutes' walk gets you down into Whitepark Bay, a beautiful stretch of white sand, perfect to quickly tire out children after dinner.
    The hostel is small and clean and always booked out at the weekends. The self-catering kitchen allows you to avoid sampling the local cuisine, which might be a good thing if you are a foreigner or suffer from heart problems.

    Whitepark Bay Youth Hostel,
    157 Whitepark Road,
    Ballintoy,
    Co Antrim,
    BT54 6NH

    Weissenhofsiedlung

    Posted by Steffi 8 May 2006

    If you are going to see the Bauhaus exhibition in the V&A, here's your chance to see the real thing: built in 1927, every architect of the time, from Le Corbusier to Mies van der Rohe, built a house in this model estate.

    Pure and undiluted modernism, nothing for the faint hearted Poundsbury-lovers, called a national eye-sore and an 'Arab village' by the Nazis, who wanted to demolish it. It survived, but because they are still inhabited, you can only walk around the houses. Still, a must-see for anyone interested in modern(ist) architecture!

    www.weissenhofsiedlung.de - excellent website, contains map, history, details etc.

    Opening times: Tue-Sat 10-2, Sun 10-3

    Bus no. 43 to 'Killesberg Messe,' get out at stop 'Kunstakademie'
    U7 (underground) to final stop 'Killesberg Messe'
