In a slightly stooped position, you cross the grotto to reach the waterfall of the Elbesbach in Bad Bertrich. A small waterfall that has formed an equally small basin at its foot. Whose charm I could not resist, as usual, and stayed in the water for quite a while - also to take pictures.

Last week I was with my colleague Sarah together on the Maare-und-Thermen-Pfad. We wanted to take a look at the newly established leisure spots between Ulmen and Lutzerath. From our meeting point at the Jungferweiher, we walked through the pretty town to the Maar, which was still quiet and peaceful so early in the morning.

On a weekend in May I was allowed to participate in a relaxation workshop in Bad Bertrich. The course was organized by the trained relaxation coaches Anita Otten and Margit Klein, as well as yoga teacher Tanja Meeth-Weber. So I drove to Bad Bertrich on Saturday morning in bright sunshine and was warmly welcomed by the three of them. Besides me, 10 other ladies took part in the workshop.

Die Vulkaneifel ist - wie es der Name schon sagt - vor allem von der vulkanischen Landschaft geprägt. Als ich zum ersten Mal davon lese, kann ich vor meinem geistigen Auge kaum was damit in Verbindung bringen. Deshalb ist es höchste Eisenbahn, ein Wochenende in der Vulkaneifel zu verbringen. Welche Eindrücke dabei herauskommen und welche Sehenswürdigkeiten sich lohnen, folgt jetzt.

In late summer I spent a long weekend in the Volcanic Eifel. Certainly not for the last time, because the area is really beautiful and a destination for every season. You will certainly not get bored with the many sights and especially the beautiful nature - so the Volcanic Eifel is ideally suited for a day trip, short vacation or even for a longer stay!

I recently came across an interesting article about a study conducted by Saarland University. "Those who exercise regularly age more slowly" it says. New and probably groundbreaking research results are presented here that prove that both endurance training and strength training slow down the aging process in us humans. Even moderate exercise significantly increases physical and mental fitness.

Die Weihnachtsfeiertage sind vorbei und das neue Jahr ist bereits in vollem Gange. Durch die eisigen Temperaturen der letzten Woche ist die ,,Rausch“ im Tal der wilden Endert eingefroren. Ein wirklich tolles Highlight, das jeder einmal gesehen haben sollte.

Now the cold season begins, everyone around you sneezes and coughs. Why is this actually the case in autumn? Once, of course, it is due to the cooler temperatures, but not - as we sometimes believe - due to the cold air. No, it's because we like to stay in heated rooms in the often uncomfortable weather. But the heated air is not only cozy and warm for us, viruses and bacteria also feel right at home in rooms where it is warm and dry and can multiply quickly.

Die Vulkaneifel hat sich in den letzten Wochen von ihrer schönsten und sonnigsten Seite gezeigt. Was liegt da näher, als die Mittagspause einmal draußen in der Natur an einem unserer schönen Maare zu verbringen?

I just came from Berlin. A wonderful city full of life and action. Every day at least four appointments, talks and culture. Walking through Berlin, you have to be very attentive and move in crowds. Everything is full of sounds, smells and lights. As soon as I sat on the train I realized that I was pretty knackered. Actually completely clear, it's too much and too crowded. The constant influences in the city are absorbed unconsciously and stress us.
