...a feast for families and medieval fans! My special recommendation today: How about a visit to the Historical Castle Festival in Manderscheid next weekend (24. and 25.08.2013). Knights, robbers, jugglers and all sorts of other dubious fellows move around Niederburg and tournament meadow. Experience history to understand history, this can be done in the beautiful surroundings of the tournament meadow, which welcomes us as a natural arena. 

  My tip today - the family outdoor pool in Manderscheid. Rightly you can call the beautifully located on the edge of the Lieser valley outdoor pool also a family pool. The attractions of the family outdoor pool certainly include the wide water slide, the diving tower (1 and 3 meters), the baby and toddler pool, the floor bubblers and the splash shower. In the paddling pool for toddlers, the splash wall and the water plate provide plenty of variety.

Zwischen dem jüngsten Maar der Eifel, dem Ulmener Maar, und dem Jungferweiher verläuft dieser alte Stollen, der evtl. römerzeitliche Ursprünge hat. Zwischen 1970 und 1990 wurde er von der Seite des Jungferweiherszugeschüttet. Die Gründe hierfür sind bisher unbekannt. Der Ulmener Stadtbürgermeister Günther Wagner führte die Erkundungsgruppe aus Geologen und Touristikern in den schmalen Tunnel, durch den zur Regulation des Maar-Wasserstands Wasser geführt wird.

Doctors are right to say that exercise is the best medicine. But if adaptation to natural climatic stimuli is added to normal training, the effects are greater and the body is also hardened. For example, when we hike in cooler weather, our body adjusts. Our organism is better supplied with blood and in the long run our sensitivity to temperature decreases significantly. We also achieve a similar effect if we expose ourselves to fresh air during sports, even in windy conditions, or - of course in good doses - to the sun.

Even if the weather today and over the carnival days will not come up with much sunshine or glorious snow, I still recommend to go outside. Because our body and also the soul needs light. The positive effect of light on body and soul is scientifically recognized. Light influences the "inner clock" of humans and animals via the optic nerve and thus our entire life. Hormone production and the release of messenger substances in the brain are controlled by the inner clock and thus also our well-being, our appetite, our sleep.
