<\/a>finally found: The perfect camping spot before the sun touches the earth.<\/p><\/div>\n
Just before we finally found the perfect spot to put our tent, always further and further away from the streets and then another 50 meters into the wild, following the path next to the lake, we had a sundowner beer at a local bar and \u2018animal petting zoo\u2019. Okay, maybe two well-deserved sundowners after the tiring tour without a destination, which explained why I took a selfie with a goat.<\/p>\n

A quick unzipping of our tent the next morning reveals the quiet lake covered with dust. \u2018Let’s jump in\u2019, I say and only need to pee quickly. All of a sudden, I lift up my pants again when I see a guy approaching in the bushes. He carries an axe and some weird equipment. Dang! That’s the moment in the horror movies when I say to myself \u2018don’t be stupid blond girl – don’t talk to the man with the knife in the forest!<\/p>\n
\u2018Good morning\u2019, I say with my nice voice hoping that he is not calling the police to report illegal camping activities nor killing me with the axe. With a strong Polish accent he is mumbling something about fishing in respose and moves towards the wooden nose-piece. I 30 minutes later Luisa\u2019s in my bikini are drying in the rising morning sun after our refreshing swim and we sit next to Dominic sharing some freshly brewed coffee made with my very first own gas stove and we talk about Polish politics waiting for the fish to take a bite. Often, what happens to the money in the government is \u2018ZAPZERAPP\u2019, he explains making a waving grabbing hand movement as if you were taking something away and putting it into your own pockets – ah corruption! And this is why Dominic and Gregorz, a second Polish fishermen who joined us later with an even bigger axe work in Germany\u2026 and fish. Dominic is impressed by my remote coffee making skills, something needed on every construction site, he tells from experience. On the construction site, Dominic and Gregor speak only Polish with their cousins and colleagues. Louisa and I have been pondering working in the construction business in the Summer – not only to make some extra money, but as a good gym substitute and because we would fit right in with our openness and humor, we assume. Dominic will let us know if they need helping hands and we exchanged numbers before we packed up and cycled on. Surely, soon \u2018ZAPZERAPP\u2019 won\u2019t \u00a0be the only Polish word I know.<\/p>\n

Ebersg\u00f6tzen sounds like a word you want to torture foreign German students with, but it is much more than that and believe me you will never regret having stopped here and taking your time, because in Ebersg\u00f6tzen people rhyme. Wilhelm Busch – the famous German poet, painter cartoonist and most of all humorist and all time Bachelor with his entertaining attitudes towards the worrisome love, lived in this magical historic village. That is why the Wilhelm-Busch-M\u00fchle (mill) is a place like there’s no other and I insisted in stopping there for a coffee. The old-fashioned restaurant opens at 11:30, according to the official opening hours. It was 10. There has to be someone, I thought knocking on the heavy wooden door.<\/p>\n

A white-bearded face leans outside the door with a questioning facial expression. Apologizing for the inconvenience, he interrupts me \u201cWhat would you like to have?\u201d \u2013 \u201cCoffee!\u201d, Luisa shouts from the side. The old man shows us a designated table, and sits down further away, maintaining Corona-distance at the bar. Smoking one cigarette after another, he entertains us with the stories of the great Wilhelm Busch and his teenage-friend Bachmann, the sun of the miller. In fact, Wilhelm and Bachmann are the true protagonists behind the famous prank adventures of \u201cMax & Moritz\u201d, one of the most translated children\u2019s book in this beautiful world.<\/p>\n Thanks to my Oma, I am a Busch-fan, thus the bearded man and I bond quickly and it is only a question of time, until he takes out some old books from the shelf in the attic. \u2018Der versimpelte Jungeselle\u2019, is his favorite poem we learn and my voice fills the empty corny old restaurant with this entertaining story about choosing to remain single as a consequence of frustration of love. As a reward for my presentation we get some Christmas cookies, that he always makes for his grandchildren. It turns out, that the \u2018Wilhelm-Busch-M\u00fchle\u2019 is the only official restaurant for children in Germany, were fun and silliness rule. Now, all the toys around make sense (the guns on the wall remain puzzling though).<\/p>\n I totally felt like home and as a recently adopted grandchild of the old white-bearded man. Luisa collects the dishes and puts them back on the bar as we leave, even though our new grandpa resists. \u2018She works as a part-time waitress, she knows what she\u2019s doing\u2019, I reassure. The men starts to wonder, whether we would not like to join him, working at the big Christmas events at the end of the year, if Corona allows. Wow, we just got two jobs offered within one morning, just by approaching this world\u2019s awesome people with an open mind and confidently. But the old guy gave us much more than only a job offer. He recommended us to walk down the windy little street to the original mill, where Busch\u2019s best friend and adventure-companion used to live. \u2018The mill is a museum now and Gisela is there now. She will show you around!\u2019 Luisa and I, being adventure companions as well, happily follow this he recommendation.<\/p>\n Jokingly, we were jumping around, speaking only in rhymes and acting like Bachmann and Wilhelm, imagining all the crazy fun nights, they had at this particular place, drinking from this particular glass of wine on the table. We were even given an example of how the mill works and I played a Christmas song on the old piano.<\/p>\n During this weekend bicycle trip, everything was unplanned and still, everything seemed to fall into place. Every new detail was embraced and accepted fearless and happily. To express it in the wise words of Wilhelm Busch: \u201cGl\u00fcck entsteht oft durch Aufmerksamkeit in kleinen Dingen; Ungl\u00fcck oft durch Vernachl\u00e4ssigung kleiner Dinge.\u201c \u2013 So, grab your bike and find your luck.<\/p>\n \u2018Hmmm.. it is this moment, the perfect moment\u2019, Luisa replies to my question, asking her…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1220,"featured_media":414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[576,572,82,563,114,581,585,299,580],"tags":[100625,95715,61609,95716,160301],"class_list":["post-406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kulturweitblog","category-deutschewelle","category-deutschland","category-erlebnis","category-freiwillige","category-geschichte","category-gesellschaft","category-kulinarisch","category-kunst","tag-adventure","tag-bicycle-tour","tag-camping","tag-friendshipgoals","tag-into-the-wild"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1220"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":420,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406\/revisions\/420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kulturweit.blog\/hannahmexicana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
